Everglades National Park, just a short drive from Miami, protects one of Florida's most unique natural features. These swamplands, covering about 1.5 million acres, are home to alligators, crocodiles, snakes and all kinds of birds. This whole area is essentially a shallow river flowing out to the ocean. Within the park you'll find the informative Visitors Center, as well as walking trails and boardwalks for wildlife viewing. One of the most enjoyable ways for tourists to experience the Everglades is on an airboat tour. These high-speed boat trips take visitors out into the marshes and streams to see some South Florida wildlife up close. There are several airboat tour operators in the area that are located just outside the official park.
