Everglades National Park Travel Forum

Has the motel opened at flamingo national park?

I am going with my wife to see the everglades in March and we want to do some day hikes. Can you recommend any good trails that will allow me to get a sense of the park and really experience the everglades. Thanks

We are 4 guys looking to see the everglades for a ½ to a full day.

We will be driving from Orlando to Miami, not sure where the best place to explore the park is.

We will be in Miami so a drive from there the the everglades would be fine as well.

I would love to see the nature, but think i would be scared ***less for snakes and alligators in a Canoo, so a safe but fun way would be prefered.

Thanks

Do you know a good airboat tour company?

My company is doing an offsite in Miami in late October, and I think I'm going to stick around for a 1-2 day trip to the Everglades. I need your help with a couple of questions:

1. What are the most important things to do? My travel philosophy is neither super touristy nor super roughin' it -- i.e. i want to taste the real thing but don't particularly like to hike.

2. How bad are the mosquitos in late october? I just came back from 2 days in the amazon with 31 mosquito bites (scratch scratch). better or worse?

3. Anyone wanna come with me? None of my white-collar yuppie-type coworkers are the least bit interested, and i wouldn't mind some company (23, female, smoker -- on the prowl for gators, not hook-ups).

Can anyone recommend a company to do an airboat ride? There seems to be a plethora advertised, and I'm sure some must be better than others...

We are coming to South florida, and don't have much time. Is it worthwhile going to Everglades for a day trip? And if so what should I aim to do there? Like specific trails or tours or anuthing else. I am travelling with a 12 yr old, 10yr old and 4 yr old, what can we do for all the three age group?

Thanks a lot!

My boyfriend and I, are staying in Miami for a week over Christmas, we have a couple of days to go exploring.

We have not decided if we shoul hire a car and drive or join a tour bus?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'll be at Marco Island on Wednesday 4-5-2005 for 10 days or so. Very short notice, I do not have info on where I can secure a seakayak for some paddling down south. Guided or not, I am a very capable boater. Don't mind gong solo, but if someone would be in iterested in joining me, I'll pick up the $$$'s.
Thanks for any info on Marco, paddling, camping, fishing, etc...

Does the water in the Everglades are fresh or salted ?

Is the tide visible in Everglades ?

If the water is fresh, from where does it come ?
