🌿 Everglades National Park | Miami's Wild Wetland Wonderland 🐊

Just explored Everglades NP – 3rd largest U.S. national park! Here’s the ultimate guide to its three epic entrances, each with unique adventures: 🚪 Shark Valley (Closest to Miami – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!) 🚋 Shark Valley Tram Tour ($33/person) ⏰ Schedule: May-Dec: 9:30AM, 11AM, 2PM, 4PM Dec-Apr: Hourly departures 🔹 2-hour loop ride with an observation tower stop. 🐊 Pro tip: Sit LEFT – most gators & birds hang out on that side! 🚴 Bike Rental ($26) – Skip It! ☀️ Why? Scorching sun + flooded trails = wet sneakers & misery. 🚤 Airboat Ride (Coopertown – Groupon Deal!) 💰 ~$35 for 2 (plus $8 park fee unless you have a pass). 🐍 Includes: Snake/gator demo + 30-min thrilling glide over marshes! 🚗 Big Cypress Scenic Drive 🛣️ DIY safari – spot gators from your car! 🚪 Ernest F. Coe (1hr from Shark Valley) 🦩 Ahinga Trail 🌿 Easy 1-mile boardwalk… but we saw ZERO wildlife 😅 (bring bug spray!). 🚪 Guy Bradley (Flamingo – Deep South) 🛶 Missed it – but heard kayaking here is unreal! ⚠️ Survival Kit: 🕶️ Sunglasses + SPF 50 (no shade!) 🦟 Bug spray (mosquitoes here are DEMONS). Verdict: Way more fun than expected – just prep for the swamp chic look! 😂 #Everglades #FloridaWild #GatorSpotting #RoadTripUSA 🌴📸
