Visiting the Everglades National Park offers a huge range of opportunities to get close to wild Florida. Yes you can go out on boats and see alligators, but there are also spots in the park that offer manatee encounters, and chances to see turtles, crocodiles, and Florida panthers. Everglades National Park is a World Heritage Site, and a must see during a visit to Miami (as well as being a complete contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city).

This park is huge, spanning more than 1.5 million acres, so renting an electric scooter or wheelchair in advance of your visit will ensure you see as much of the park as possible. Everglades National Park works hard to make the park accessible to everyone by offering a variety of accessible facilities, services and programs including camping, boating and tours.
