Review:
Fort Lauderdale locals and visitors are fortunate to have the amazing Everglades National Park just about on their doorstep (You can reach the Shark Valley park entrance in about an hour from Fort Lauderdale). To get a marvelous overview of the park energetic visitors can climb to the top of the observation tower (65ft high). A good way to see the sights is to join a guided 2-hour Shark Valley Tram Tour. Other activities in the park include canoe and kayak excursions, bicycle rentals, ranger-led walking tours, fishing, hiking and boating. Bird watching and photography opportunities abound throughout the park.
