How to do a self guided Everglades tour
The Everglades National Park is one of the best things to see in Florida . If you’re traveling to Florida and planning on visiting Everglades National Park, you’re in for a treat; especially with this Everglades driving tour.
Out of all the places we saw during our trip around America over 3 months , the Everglades National Park was a highlight. You should definitely add it to your Florida travel itinerary!
It was one of our favorite days from our whole road trip of three months around the USA we saw SO many animals in the Everglades and you should make sure you visit Everglades National Park while in Southern Florida.
Before we started our USA road trip I thought the best way to see the Everglades National Park, Florida was to take one of the airboats in the Everglades. However, when I started researching companies to do this with I quickly went off the idea.
Instead, we opted to plan our own, self-guided tour of the Everglades that involved driving through the Everglades and stopping off where we wanted.
I truly believe it’s the best Everglades tour you can do and this post will show you exactly how to do it!
About Florida Everglades National Park
Are you wondering just “What are the Everglades?” You’ve probably heard of them but aren’t quite sure what they look like in practice. Well, the Everglades is a huge area of land in South Florida. In fact, it’s the third-largest park in the US just behind Death Valley and Yellowstone.
The ecosystem in the Everglades is a wetland which means this area is inundated by water either permanently or seasonally. In the case of the Everglades, it’s more seasonal and the Everglades has a dry season and a wet season.
There’s an amazing amount of wildlife in the Everglades National Park. We were both blown away by the number of alligators, birds, and turtles we saw. This wildlife is why the Everglades was designated a National Park. In fact, it was the first National Park created to protect wildlife rather than geographic features.
The Everglades also borders Big Cypress National Preserve which is actually the area we preferred as we saw the most impressive sites! Therefore this guide to the Everglades also includes things to do in Big Cypress National Preserve.
Entrance fees for the Everglades National Park
To enter the Everglades National Park costs $30 per vehicle and lasts for 7 days. Pedestrians and cyclists cost $15 to use the national park service in the Everglades.
You can buy your pass online or at one of the Entrance stations in Homestead and Shark Valley. If you’re visiting multiple national parks in one year, then the National Parks Pass is the best option.
Get a USA National Parks Pass for just $80 and save a tonne of money if you’re planning on visiting multiple National Parks in a year, or visiting the same one more than once!
Getting to the Everglades National Park from Miami
Most of you will probably be visiting the Everglades from Miami as it’s the largest city in the area and a popular tourist destination.
Wondering “How far are the Everglades from Miami?”
Well, the Shark Valley Visitor Centre is just over 41 miles away from downtown Miami. Getting from Miami to Everglades National Park it takes about an hour to drive there on the US-41 W.
Why not to take airboat rides in the Everglades
Originally I’d planned on going boating in the Everglades and taking an Everglades National Park airboat tour. But, when I started looking into them and reading reviews I very quickly went off the idea.
I read a lot about Florida Everglades tours before our trip and time and time again I saw that airboat tours in the Everglades seemed to be far from eco-friendly.
Many of the reviews of Everglades airboat tours mentioned that guides fed the alligators and other wildlife sweets and food to attract them closer to the boat.
Some said that the boat rides in the Everglades seemed downright dangerous and others mentioned that Everglades National Park boat tour companies tended to have “sanctuaries” attached where animals were kept in tiny cages.
I also don’t think holding a baby alligator should be the highlight of a responsible airboat tour in the Everglades which means, in my view, there’s no such thing as best Everglades airboat tours.
Sure, it’s up to you at the end of the day but I’d recommend seeking a more eco-friendly tour such as an Everglades kayaking tour .
Below are some options for the best Florida Everglades tours that are more ethical. These Everglades national park tours all get great reviews and will likely get you better sightings of the alligators anyway!
- Everglades National Park Mangrove Tunnel Kayak Eco Tour: 3-hour kayak tour in the mangrove tunnels alongside alligators.
- Everglades small-group kayak tour: Book this once-in-a-lifetime tour as you glide through Everglades mangrove tunnels and cypress ponds
- Small Group Motorboat Eco Tour of the Everglades : Explore the Everglades on this intimate eco-boat tour and disembark on an isolated island during the tour too
Animals from the Everglades
You won’t believe your eyes when you step foot in the Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve! There are so many different types of birds of the Everglades alongside endangered species in the Everglades too.
If you were wondering “Are there crocodiles in the Everglades?” the answer is yes, there are crocodiles in the Everglades! They’re smaller than the alligators and are usually less aggressive but can pose danger!
Some more common animals of the Everglades are
- American Alligator
- American Crocodile
- Manatee (threatened but not endangered since 2017 – sometimes injured by airboats)
- Bottlenose dolphin
Endangered species of the Everglades
- Florida Panther – perhaps the most endangered animal of the Everglades
Birds of the Everglades
There are over 360 different species of birds in the Everglades. They can usually be categorized into the following groups: wading birds, land birds, and birds of prey.
Some of the birds in the Everglades you’ll see include egrets, herons, and eagles.
Best things to do in the Everglades National Park
Add these Big Cypress and Everglades attractions to your itinerary for driving through the Everglades. You do all these stops on an Everglades day trip, just get up early to make the most of your day.
I’d also recommend packing a picnic as there aren’t many places to grab food along HYW 41 as you’re driving through the Everglades.
This probably ended up being the best way to see the Everglades as it turned out. We saw so much wildlife on our self guided Everglades tour, could stop when we wanted to and it was free .
If you want to do the same, here is the route we took going from west to east. You could do this self-guided Everglades tour the other way around too, of course, if you’re coming from Miami.
Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk
Technically this one isn’t actually inside the Everglades National Park but it’s a must do for your what to do in the Everglades list!
We came from the town of Naples on Florida’s west coast and this was our first (and favorite) stop of the day. We easily could have spent all day watching the wildlife here!
This trail, like many Everglades trails, involves a boardwalk. The boardwalk takes you into the wetlands where you’ll likely see alligators, crocodiles turtles and so many species of birds.
We saw owls, great egrets, alligators, and their babies, fish, and lizards all within 10 minutes. It was incredible!
Smallest Post Office in North America
Jump out of the car for a quick visit to America’s (and maybe the world’s) smallest post office. This isn’t just a picture opportunity, but actually a fully working post office. Buy a stamp as a reminder of your trip or as a unique souvenir.
Note: The post office closes for a few hours over lunch so go before 11 am, or after 2 pm if you want to pop inside.
Skunk Ape Headquarters
I’m adding this to the list as I think if the man behind the idea for this stop is there you’ll have a pretty enjoyable visit. When we visited there wasn’t really anyone on hand to talk about the myth (or truth!) of the Skunk Ape – a kind of swamp version of Big Foot.
It’s worth having a stroll around the shop and flicking through books about Skunk Ape whatever you think.
H. P. Williams Roadside Park
This is another great place to stop off at during your self guided Everglades tour. It’s right off the road and there’s a short boardwalk along the river which is teeming with alligators.
There are plenty of picnic benches too if you’re feeling hungry!
Kirby Storter Roadside Park
Another great place to stop is Kirby Storter Roadside Park. The boardwalk here is longer (1 mile) through the Cypress trees towards a small pond where you’ll likely see gators (or at least their tracks!).
Miccosukee Indian Village
If you want to add some culture and history to your Everglades activities, then stop off at Miccosukee Indian Village.
Sure, it’s pretty touristy but you’ll still learn about the Miccosukee tribe (the original inhabitants of these parts). Just skip the alligator show.
A map for your driving tour of the Everglades
Check out this Florida Everglades map to see the suggested stops on your self-guided Everglades driving tour.
This self-driving tour of the Everglades takes you along Hwy 41 avoiding the infamous “alligator alley” in the Everglades to the north.
Additional things to do in the Florida Everglades
If you’re looking for more Everglades National Park things to do then check out the following ideas for your Everglades vacation.
Drive the scenic Loop Road in the Everglades
The scenic Loop Road takes you into some of the more remote areas of the Everglades National Park. It’s not a paved road so bear in mind you’ll probably one a 4×4 or at least a vehicle with high clearance.
You should also take into consideration that the cypress swamp you drive through on Loop Road is flooded in the summer wet season (May – October).
Other things to consider when visiting the Everglades
- Take food and plenty of water . It’s hot and there are very limited places to stock up on food. Most roadside stops have a water fountain though.
- Take sunscreen : It’s usually hot and sunny in Everglades city
- Respect the wildlife . Alligators are dangerous when threatened. Stick to the paths and don’t get too close.
- Take all your rubbish with you. Leave no trace.
- Go early. This way you avoid the crowds and are likely to see more wildlife. During the heat of the day, they tend to hide away.
Best time to visit Everglades National Park
The dry season in the Everglades lasts from November to March and the wet season from April to November.
We visited towards the very end of the dry season and noticed that a lot of the pools were dried up. The dry season is considered to be the busy season because of the warm winters.
During these months you’ll see the largest variety of wading birds and their predators as the animals tend to congregate in the small pools of water that remain.
This creates prime animal-watching spots for you!
In the wet season, there are a lot more bugs and the National Park doesn’t run its ranger programs.
For these reasons, I’d recommend visiting during the dry season when you can make the most of ranger programs and are more likely to see a wider variety of wildlife.
We did our driving tour of the Everglades early in the morning when the temperatures were cooler, the wildlife was out before it retreats to sleep during the day, and there were fewer people about to.
Where to stay in the Everglades
If you’re coming from Miami then it’s probably worthwhile staying in Miami and travelling out for your Everglades trip.
The following are all west of downtown Miami which makes them closest to Everglades National Park. They’re also budget-friendly and highly rated.
- Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Airport West/Doral: Well located for enjoying the Everglades Florida and you can enjoy the added luxuries of an on-site bar and a complimentary hot breakfast.
- Courtyard by Marriott Miami at Dolphin Mall: Free parking, an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and on-site dining at The Bistro, all just a stone’s throw away from Miami International Mall and a short drive from Florida International University.
- Hampton Inn & Suites Miami-Doral Dolphin Mall: Outdoor pool, on-site restaurant, and complimentary hot breakfast, coupled with rooms with kitchenettes in all suites; get in shape at the fitness center and explore local dining options like Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine and Spizzigo Italian Restaurant

We’ve just got back from Miami and did an Everglades tour without reading up on it first. OMG some of it was awful – there was a show after where a guy handled the alligators who were kept in cages and you could have your photo taken with a baby croc for $3 … I felt so so uncomfortable about the whole thing but looking round no one else seemed to care. I’ll be doing a blog post and will definitely link your article as an alternative others should do!
I’m even more glad I skipped the tour now! I would’ve felt really awkward too. We were chatting to some people on the trails we walked along and they all seemed super happy they got to stroke a baby crocodile but that’s totally not for me. Thanks for sharing it and hope you had a fab time in Miami!
[…] a tour in the Everglades it’s easy, and arguably more fun, to plan a self-guided tour to the Everglades. This gives you the chance to watch the wildlife at your own pace and stop where ever you like […]

Stroll along boardwalks shaded by lush jungle greenery, see alligators and wading birds in their natural habitat, and find out for yourself what makes this stretch of southern Florida so special!
About the Tour
Your Everglades tour begins in Florida City, just northeast of the national park. From there, you’ll drive toward the park itself, passing a wildlife rescue and an alligator farm along the way!
On your way to the park entrance, you’ll hear about how the Everglades formed, how it became home to the powerful Calusa tribe, and how that tribe ultimately met their end. Then, you’ll get a glimpse into the numerous distinct ecosystems which make up the Everglades.
The first trail you’ll pass upon entering the park is actually two trails! The Gumbo Limbo and Anhinga Trails are among the park’s most popular thanks to their shade, scenery, and plentiful wildlife.
After that, you’ll pass the Pinelands Trail, which leads through beautiful hardwood forests. You’ll also learn about 20th-century plans to drain the Everglades and the hard work of conservationists to stop that from happening.
Pa-Hay-Okee Lookout Tower is next, offering panoramic views of the so-called “river of grass” all around. It’s an unbeatable spot for a photo op!
On your way to the Mahogany Hammock Trail, featuring the largest living mahogany tree in the United States, you’ll hear some chilling tales about Everglades cryptids, including the menacing Alligator King and the elusive Skunk Ape—also called Bigfoot’s cousin!
Nine Mile Pond trail waits ahead for those looking to escape the water. This canoe trail is perfect for anyone bringing a boat on their journey. Around here, you’ll also find out about the continuing threats to the delicate environment of the Everglades, from air pollution to invasive species like the Burmese python.
West Lake Trail and Snake Bight Trail wait just ahead, both offering incredible views of the water. See if you can spot the telltale ripples of a crocodile or alligator somewhere on the lake!
As you drive toward Christian Point Trail on the Everglades tour, a slightly more challenging trek, you’ll discover how natural disasters like wildfires and hurricanes might not be so disastrous for the Everglades after all.
Then you’ll pass by the Flamingo Visitor Center, which offers boat and bike rentals for adventurous travelers.
Finally, you’ll reach the Eco Pond. Usually full of wading birds, softshell turtles, and alligators, this is a wildlife watcher’s dream! Your tour concludes just beyond the pond.

Everything you need to know about Everglades National Park
Plan your trip to the southern tip of Florida to visit the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States.
Why you should go to Everglades National Park
Sprawling between South Florida’s Lake Okeechobee and the Gulf of Mexico, the Everglades is one of the world’s largest tropical wetlands. About 20 percent of the region is protected within the confines of Everglades National Park , the third largest national park after Death Valley and Yellowstone in the lower 48 states. While the park’s main purpose is preserving wilderness, Everglades also provides plenty of scope for outdoor adventure.
Although technically a wetland , perhaps it’s best to think of the Everglades as the nation’s slowest, widest river—a constant stream of freshwater roughly 60 miles wide, moving at a speed of around 2.5 miles per day as it makes its way south to Florida Bay. The Seminole people called the region Okeechobee (“river of grass”). And while a large part of the Everglades is covered in razor-sharp sawgrass, the region also encompasses mangroves , tropical hardwood hammocks (island forests), pine and cypress forests, freshwater prairie, and various marine and estuarine habitats.
(This ambitious new trail will someday connect South Florida’s two national parks.)
“A visitor with an untrained eye—especially one used to the dramatic vistas of some western national parks—might arrive at Everglades National Park and think ‘What's the big deal?’” says Eve Samples, executive director of Friends of the Everglades. “It's a park that requires you to really train your eye and be mindful and be present. When you do that, you can experience some really incredible and subtle nature.”
Where to find the best views in the park
With elevation ranging between sea level and eight feet, it’s not easy to snatch a lofty view of the park anywhere other than the 70-foot-high Shark Valley Observation Tower . Opened in 1984, the futuristic spiral renders views of up to 20 miles across the Everglades.
Fourteen miles west of Coe Visitor Center along the Main Park Road, the Pa-Hay-Okee boardwalk and elevated shade shelter provides another wide view across the river of grass.
One of the best coastal views is from the second-floor breezeway of the Guy Bradley Visitor Center in Flamingo.
Where to find the park’s best trails
Located near Coe Visitor Center, the Gumbo Limbo Trail (0.4 mile) and Anhinga Trail (0.8 mile) meander through Royal Palm hammock, while the 22-mile Long Pine Key Trails penetrate the park’s largest stand of native pines.
Dead flat and paved, the 15-mile Shark Valley Trail varies between sawgrass marsh and tropical hardwood hammocks. Despite the name, there aren’t any sharks, just snoozing gators to step around (at a safe distance, of course).
Where to spot wildlife
Flamingo village is surprisingly good for wildlife. Osprey hatch and raise their young on nesting towers beside the marina, while manatees and American crocodile are sometimes spotted in the bay and nearby mangrove channels.
Alligators routinely emerge from the swamp and sun themselves on or beside the Shark Valley Trail . It’s also a primo bird habitat for creepy-looking wood storks, gorgeous roseate spoonbills, and anhinga “snakebirds.”
Other places to watch gators and birdlife are the Anhinga Trail and Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk in Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park adjacent to the national park.
(Go on a wildlife odyssey through the Everglades and Key West.)
How to visit the park like a Nat Geo Explorer
National Geographic Young Explorer and conservation biologist Gabriela Tejeda has guided visitors along the park’s Florida Bay coast in boats, kayaks, and on paddleboards.
Her favorite way to explore inland areas is "slough slogging." It entails hiking in knee-to-waist-high water through sawgrass to reach secluded hardwood hammocks or cypress domes —flora and fauna rich arboreal islands in the sawgrass.
When viewed from above, the domes form a rough circle around a pond. “What I didn’t know the first time I explored a dome,” Tejeda recalls, “is that the water in the middle is an ‘alligator hole’—a place where they hang out in the winter when the rest of the Everglades is drying out.”
“[The cypress domes] are unlike anything I had ever seen,” Tejeda continues. “I like to equate them to a fairy tale—a little fairy dome where you just feel like there’s going to be something magical flying around.” No fairy sightings so far. “But I always see owls and alligators and snakes.”
She highly recommends joining a ranger-led slough slog to Double Dome or other cypress domes along the Main Park Road.
Notable activities and excursions
Driving: The Main Park Road runs through a variety of Everglades ecosystems—freshwater prairie, cypress forest, mangrove, and coastal marsh — on a 38-mile journey between the Coe Visitor Center and Flamingo . Along the way are sideroads to the Royal Palm trails, Historic Nike Missile Site , the Mahogany Hammock boardwalk trail, and West Lake Boardwalk .
Tours: Shark Valley offers two-hour narrated tram tours that stop at the Shark Valley Observation Tower. January through April, rangers lead Full Moon/New Moon Bike Rides and other activities.
Narrated boat tours depart from Flamingo and Everglades City . The latter is also homebase for private outfitters offering airboat tours, including Everglades City Airboat Tours. History buffs should visit the town’s small but interesting Museum of the Everglades .
Paddling: Flamingo and Everglades City bookend the Everglades’ ultimate kayak/canoe experience —the Wilderness Waterway —a 99-mile meander through mangroves and marshes with raised platform “chickee hut” campsites along the way. Everglades City is also the starting point for self-guided paddles along the Turner River Canoe Trails .
Best things to do for families
Bikes & boats: If keeping kids active is your mission, rent bikes and dodge snoozing alligators along the Shark Valley Tram Trail or explore Florida Bay and the mangroves by boat. Flamingo Adventures offers canoe and kayak rentals in two-hour increments, as well as full-day pontoon boat rentals.
Tours: Hop aboard a narrated boat tour of Florida Bay (from Flamingo Marina) or the Ten Thousand Islands (from Port Everglades); or feel the wind in your face during an adrenaline-pumping airboat ride from outfitters around the periphery of the park.
Junior Rangers: Offered in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole, the park’s Junior Ranger Booklet features hands-on and self-guided activities including a scavenger hunt to spot wild animals that call the park home.
The park also participates in the Every Kid Outdoors program that provides vouchers for fourth graders and their families in the U.S. to visit the Everglades (and other national parks) free of charge for an entire year.
Where to stay
Hotels: Destroyed by a hurricane in 2005, Flaming Lodge is open again with new waterview rooms. Outside the park, the closest hotels are in Homestead and Doral (on the eastern edge of the park) and Everglades City, Marco Island, and Naples (beyond the western edge).
Houseboats: Modern, six-person, 42-foot houseboats at Flamingo Marina are equipped with a bathroom (and with shower), an indoor galley, outside grill, air conditioning, bedding, and fish-cutting tables.
Camping: Long Pine Key Campground is open November 1 to April 30. Flamingo Campground is open year-round. Both feature bath houses, dump stations, and potable water. Reservations highly recommended. For camping with the comforts of home, Winter Glamping Tents are available November-April in Flamingo.
Wilderness camping is allowed on certain ground or beach sites or “chickees” (elevated camping platforms). Most sites are accessible only by water and all require wilderness permits. Reservations at Recreation.gov .
Here’s what else you need to know
Access: Although the entire coast is open to exploration via watercraft, land-bound visitors have three options for entering the park: Everglades Homestead in the east, Shark Valley in the north, and Gulf Coast in the northwest.
When to visit: The dry season (December to March) is when most ranger programs and park concessions are available. This is also the best time to see wading birds and other wildlife. The wet season (April to November) is hot, humid, buggy, and has fewer park services.
“Many people prefer the winter for the terrific weather,” says ranger Allyson Gantt. “But each season offers something special. The shoulder seasons of fall and spring are less busy and may offer more solitude. Summer is especially great for boating and other water activities.”
Closures: A multi-year construction project to raise the level of the Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41) often features delays. Shark Valley parking is often full by 10 a.m. Check out the latest road, trail, and parking lot conditions, plus weather and prescribed burning alerts at the park’s conditions page.
Fishing: Unless you’re under 16 or a Florida resident 65 or older, a state fishing license is required. Anglers casting south of Nine Mile Pond need a saltwater fishing license; from Nine Mile Pond northwards, a freshwater fishing license is mandatory.
Swimming: Swimming and snorkeling are forbidden anywhere inside the park.
Remote control aircraft: Drones, model airplanes, and similar unmanned aircraft are not allowed in the park.
Read before you go: Originally published in 1947, the definitive Everglades book remains The Everglades: River of Grass , by Florida writer and conservationist Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
Are pets allowed?
Because of the park’s wildlife-rich environment—and the potential threat that it poses to both pets and wild animals—pets and service animals are only allowed in parking lots, on boats, and in the campgrounds and picnic areas at Flamingo and Long Pine Key.
How accessible is Everglades?
Among the accessible sites and services are seven trails, all four visitors centers, two developed campgrounds and one backcountry campsite, narrated boat tours, and the Shark Valley Tram Tour. Visitor information via TDD is available at (305) 242-7740.
