Everglades National Park

A World Heritage Site – SW Florida Vacation Adventure

Welcome to the Everglades – a remarkable region of southwest Florida. More than one and a half million acres of land under the management of the US National Park Service makes Everglades National Park one of the most popular visitor attractions in Florida. This park is unlike any other park in the world and provides a unique eco-system of tropical wetlands –  a “river of grass” that the Seminole Indians called Okeechobee. As a result of environmental circumstances, Everglades National Park is the place to observe an amazing variety of wildlife, natural beauty, and serene scenery of this tropical paradise.

With mild temperatures all year long, more than a million visitors annually visit Everglades National Park from all over the world.

The vast wilderness of Everglades National Park offers hundreds of miles of hiking trails, kayaking, fishing charters, eco boat tours, watercraft rentals, nature walks, camping, and wildlife tours.
