Along the Tamiami Trail
2 DAYS
This route takes you into the heart of the stereotypical Everglades: airboat tours through
waterlogged wetlands and cypress swamps crawling with gators, with a stay in a fishing
village.
Go west on Tamiami Trail (US 41) past the airboat tours to the Shark Valley entrance.
Take the
Shark Valley Tram Tour
or rent a bicycle from the front kiosk and ride back on
an asphalt path (the same one used by the tram) that curves into the swamp. You're almost
guaranteed a glimpse of alligators and wading birds.
