As the largest subtropical wilderness of the United States, Everglades National Park is infamous for its exotic, indigenous wildlife and dense maze of cypress swamps, mangrove forests, pineland, and tropical hardwood hammocks. Created to protect a fragile and beautifully diverse ecosystem, Everglades National Park constitutes just 20% of the original Everglades although it is considered to be the third largest national park in America.

Spanning a massive area of 1.5 million acres, the park is home to numerous rare and endangered species including the West Indian manatee, the American crocodile, and the Florida panther, and hundreds of unique species of other birds, fresh and saltwater fish, mammals and reptiles. Ornithologists will delight in this serene, beautiful national park as it is also a significant breeding ground for tropical wading birds in North America, whilst nature enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the spectacular flora and fauna that bring the Everglades to life, including the largest mangrove system in the Western Hemisphere. Discover the beauty of mother nature through the park’s amazingly diverse natural habitats, be it through hiking the famous Anhinga Trail, canoeing and kayaking, boating, biking or slough-slogging through the Everglades water wilderness. Families or couples can even camp over at Everglades National Park at either of its two main camping grounds – Long Pine Key or Flamingo, for an immersive, unforgettable experience in the ruggedly beautiful wilderness.
