Discover the diverse landscapes of Everglades National Park, home to rare and endangered species including the elusive Florida panther. After paying the park admission fee, explore the River of Grass, named for its extensive sawgrass prairies that rise three to ten feet above the water.
Experience the unique vegetation, including mangroves, cypress, palms, pines, and hardwood hammocks—small elevated islands within the marsh. The dense sawgrass limits travel to natural water passages, navigable by airboat.
Ride on a specially designed airboat propelled by an aircraft-type propeller, powered by either aircraft or automotive engines for a fast, smooth journey through shallow waters and marshlands.
