Sitting at the southern tip of Florida, Everglades National Park encompasses an incredibly diverse range of terrain, including marshland, pine flatlands, and mangrove forests. Contrary to popular belief, visitors can't take airboat rides in the park itself (video), but there are all sorts of other things to do, including birdwatching, fishing, and exploring the waterways with your own boat or as part of a ranger-guided tour.

There are also plenty of different hiking trails, many of which have boardwalks that lead right over the marshes, and the Visitor Center also offers guided two-hour tram tours.
