Everglades NP

Spanning the whole of the southern Florida Tip and into the top of the Florida Keys, Everglades National Park has one of the most amazing collections of ecosystems in the USA. From the mangrove tunnels to the River of Grass, you can see and experience so much here. Visiting Everglades National Park includes time in the 10,000 Islands (Everglades City and Chokoloskee), Shark Valley (central off the Tamiami Trail) and the Flamingo area of the park.

If you haven’t gotten to visit Everglades National Park before, you can very easily plan to add it to a trip to the Florida Keys. Since the Keys are all about relaxing, snorkeling and fishing, adding a few days in the Everglades will give you a completely different experience filled with airboats, kayaking, birdwatching, crocodiles and unique hiking. Check it out!
