Everglades & Biscayne
Immersive Tours
Accolades & Reviews
This journey brings you an astounding collection of creatures, from alligators to tropical birds. And you can absorb top-ranked beaches and the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay which offers a backdrop for a cosmopolitan metropolis, just pulsing with rhythms.
Visitors can explore great year round weather from Miami with Florida's untamed Everglade's ecosystem which is unlike any other on earth. A peerless and wondrous environment, the Florida Everglades and Biscayne National Parks draw approximately 1.5 million visitors each year to explore Florida's breathtaking wilderness.
Covering 607,000 hectares Everglades National Park is the third largest in the lower 48 states of the U.S. National Parks system. Made up of sawgrass prairies, mangrove swamps, subtropical jungle and the warm waters of Florida Bay, this UNESCO World Heritage Site and its seemingly endless grassy waters are home to a rare community of plants and endangered animals.
Visitors can see wildlife year-round, with the best viewings taking place January through April, and the fall / autumn season.
Visitors to the park can enjoy self-guided or ranger-led tours and activities – such as walks, canoe trips and slough slogs — from the Main Visitor Center at the Park's southeastern entrance, or journey deeper into the Everglades for a more extensive experience in the Florida wilderness.
And, the combination of fresh, salt and brackish waters makes Florida Bay the only place on earth where freshwater alligators and rare saltwater American crocodiles co-exist together, occasionally venturing into each other's territories. Visitors have even been known to catch a rare glimpse of these creatures sunning together on a bank!
For those who long for more solitude, backcountry camping in the park is an unforgettable experience. Visitors traveling along the 99-mile Wilderness Waterway can paddle all day without seeing another soul, and spend the night camping out on remote chickees — raised platform campsites accessible only by water.
Permits and reservations are required, but advance notice of only 24 hours is necessary. Permits can be obtained in person the day before or the day visitors' trips begin.
For those looking for shorter adventures, the park offers miles of shorter canoe trips and hiking trails. Many of the quarter-mile (400 meters) boardwalks located just off the main park road are easy to venture, offering beautiful views. Biking is a great way to see the park as well, with the best opportunities taking place along the Snake Bight Trail
For travelers who need an even quicker walk on the wild side, there are many natural opportunities even closer to civilization, from canoeing down a quiet waterway and jet skiing on Biscayne Bay to biking along peaceful back roads and hiking to a pond where wading birds gather.
A rarity among national parks, Biscayne National Park is primarily aquatic. Of its 173,000 acres (70011 hectares), 95 percent are underwater. Teeming with sea life and plants, the park encompasses the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay, the longest stretch of mangrove forest left on Florida's east coast, living coral reefs and 40 of the northernmost Florida Keys. Getting out on the water is the key to discovering the wonders of Biscayne National Park.
Here, cameras click not for divas and movie stars, but for loveable manatees and sea turtles, amazing alligators or the more than 350 species of birds and glorious sunsets over the Everglades, which were nicknamed the "River of Grass" by Marjorie Stoneman Douglas in her famous 1947 book.
