One of the most popular day trips out of Miami is to check out the world-famous Everglades National Park. The Everglades is the largest subtropical wilderness in the US and has been designated a World Heritage Site, International Biosphere Reserve and Wetland of International Importance. Its swampy wetland environment provides the ideal habitat for numerous species of birds and animals, with its most notorious residents being the King of the Everglades, the American Alligator.
The most popular way to see the Everglades is to take a tour out on an airboat. Many operators run half day tours from Miami, such as Everglades Eco Adventure or Everglades Tours. However, if you are a nature fanatic, why not check out the full day eco tours by Everglades Day Safari. Or if you want a tour led by the indigenous Seminole people, check out Seminole Tours.
One thing’s for sure, the future of the Everglades as a pristine natural environment is looking a little more secure. This week, the federal government has confirmed that a $100m investment is to be made to permanently protect an additional 24,000 acres of land around the National Park’s Lake Okeechobee from development. So it looks like there’ll be a home for the Kings of the Everglades for some time to come!
