We will head out on an exciting nature walk led by a master naturalist in the actual national park. Experience a ton of wildlife up close and where it should be seen, in the wild!

Learn about the different ecosystems of this Unesco World Heritage site (the only one in Florida), and understand the role of water in its conservation. Explore a bit on your own as well, including stopping in at the Visitors Center.
