We camped at Long Pine Key Campground for 2 weeks and had an awesome time. Better than Flamingo because you still get cell service and lots of walks in the area. Beware of sinkholes in the limestone!

National Wildlife Federation

Besides the opportunity to spot American alligators , Everglades National Park is home to around 400 species and around 31 warbler species. Talk about a wildlife paradise!

The Anhinga Trail is a quick, easy boardwalk hike . Bring a camera (and bug spray) because there is so much wildlife here!

Sebastian Sandoval

Don't forget to bring insect repellent! The place is beautiful, it offers an unforgettable landscape and lots of species of birds and insects. Alligators are the main attraction .

Nate Folkert

near sawgrass and just want to take a peek? you can turn around at the broward county rest stop about ten miles out. a few spots on the way to stop and watch for wildlife .

Allison Williams

Stop here and check out the visitor center.. Gather knowledge then head to the gates and pay your $10 which is good for a week! It's worth the money especially if its a quick visit & you have time

Greatist

There are exotic animals like alligators , crocodiles , pythons, & panthers but encounters are uncommon. If you see an alligator or crocodile , stay at least 20 feet away & don’t try to feed or touch it! Read more

The best way to experience the 10,000 islands is by boat. Canoe and Kayak rentals are abundant and affordable from various concessionaires.

Sue Lux

Great tram ride thru the park ! Saw so many gators and birds. The observation tower was great!

Cindy Wong

Dude...everyone should make a visit to the Everglades, native or tourist , in order to appreciate what South Florida was before it got paved over.

Great tour and show. Make sure you leave a tip to help save some gators !!!!

Dawn Wood

Drive South to the National Park entrance and visit the official info center for great tips and direction of this huge national park .

Best camping EVER! I recommend Flamingo at the very end of the Everglades. Campon the beach/marsh and wake up to dolphins playing at the shore!

Gleb Kholodov

Come back at night with a powerful flashlight - you'd be able to see gators under the water and spot small ones by the shine of their ones - something that sunlight just wouldn't let you do.

Fishing 's hot right now for red drum, black drum and seatrout because of reduced competition from tarpon and snook, still rebounding from the extensive cold-water fish kills of the 2009/2010 winter.

Experience the river of grass in an up-close and personal way. There is no place like this on earth! Reserve in advance to guarantee your spot.

Great place to see gators in their natural habitat. Ask the ranger where the best place to see them is before you drive around for hours.

Went to the Everglades Outpost Wildlife Sanctuary. Was rustic but fun.
