If you want the Everglades without being one of 50 people on a coach, this is the one we'd point most visitors to. You travel from Miami in a high-roof Sprinter van, usually with around 14 guests, and the guide talks through the drive in your chosen language. At the park you ride an airboat across the sawgrass while the captain looks for alligators and wading birds.
Good to know
