Take an expedition to the legendary Everglades National Park in Florida, a place of unparalleled natural splendor and complexity. Your adventure begins at the visitors center, where you're invited to plunge into the history and biological diversity that defines the Everglades, the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States.

Set out on a 1.5-hour stroll with a seasoned naturalist along an easy trail that winds through a landscape found nowhere else on the planet. This journey offers you a front-row seat to observe local wildlife, from adult alligators to their young offspring, from graceful turtles to an array of birds in their natural habitat.

Piloted by a Native-operated company, this journey transports you deep into the Everglades' heart, allowing for an authentic immersion in the wilderness. We'll pause at significant tree islands to explore and appreciate the Native communities' profound connections to these lands and their ingenious adaptations for living in harmony with the Everglades. These islands also serve as important nesting sites for turtles, alligators, and many birds.
