Find alligators by walking or cycling the 15-mile, looped trail . And if you don't feel like walking or biking , two-hour tram tours are a popular back up. Be sure to give the gators plenty of space. Read more

Great visit. Tram tour is worth the $22 for a 2 hour ride in which the tour guide gives a lot of good info. Bug spray in the afternoon is a must. Bring H20 or at least a bottle to fill at restrooms .

Angela Wen

Def opt for the 15mi bike ride to see animals, enjoy at your own pace! We started on the straight side following the river for best gator , fish , turtle sighting.Tower view is magical w tons of birds.

Tatiana Osma

Have to definitely bring or rent bikes ... It is a gorgeous ride, the 15 miles are worth it... Bring loots of water and admire nature every step of the way!!!

Tobias Negele

We did the two hour trolley tour starting at the Shark Valley Visitor Center. The guides were great and we saw lots of wildlife including huge alligators .

Dormingo L.

Nice bike trip . Saw several alligators in the road , a crocodile , a big turtle in the water, plenty of big birds, and a vision of a puma deep inside the woods. Very enjoyable

Can K

Fantastic nature. Bring your own bike if you want to enjoy the park fully without time constraints. And don't forget that mosquito spray. Else, you will be the target practice.

Jan Freeman

Forever one of my fave places in south Florida. Take the 2 hr tram tour . The guides are very knowledgable and always entertaining.

Biking against 20mph winds can be treacherous! If you're going at night, a flashlight is handy to spot gators from the tower. Bring mosquito repellent just in case

Amanda Haas

Rent a bike ! They were $8.50/hour an totally worth it if you're traveling out of town and didn't bring your own. Oh, and bring lots of water!!

David Klink

This place is awesome for bird watching , spotting gators , and flat surface biking . Go in the morning before it's too hot and crowded

Jimmy Ricky

They say the best time to go is between December - April. Was just there and can confirm December is good! Lots of large and baby alligators everywhere!! 15 miles all the way around, bring water!!

Don't Miss: Take a tram ride through the park , where you may run into alligators , many varieties of birds, and possibly even see a white-tailed deer or two.

Ryan Williams

Great ~15 mile bike ride through the Everglades, lots of birds, alligators , snakes, and other wildlife .

Gustavo

It's nesting season so don't get to close to the gators & oh yeah bring plenty of mosquito repellant trust me you'll need it.

Torzin S

Good place to find wild animal

Go back in at dusk after the parking lot has closed. Parking on side. Sooo much more to see

Joshua Contois

Definitely take the wind into consideration when planning your bike trip . Nothing is worse than biking into the wind and peddling twice as hard.

Hard Rocker

Great place to run or bike . But use bug spray.

Hard Rocker

Use bug spray if you go this time of year. So many Mosquitos.

Amanda Visser

17 miles biking . Bring lots of water and snacks . Go in early spring to see all the baby gators .

Nina Stoddard

no better place to take your bicycle! don't forget the sunscreen .

Jenn M

Great place for pics

Debra Vaccaro

Great for biking .

Janere Quijano

Great morning bike ride

Steve Greenberg

Don't go on a windy day--biking is much tougher

Julie Navarro

Les alligators sur le bord de la route ? Drôle, stressant, excitant ! Le tour complet à vélo est sportif ;)

Vanessa Silva

Maravilhoso!
