Twin Adventures that Should Not be Missed!

Tourists who come from Miami to Everglades should select an airboat tour as well as the tram tour at Shark Valley and have twice as much fun.

  • Buffalo Tiger's Airboat Tours: It is located at 29701 SW 8th Street, Everglades National Park, which is quite close to the Shark Valley entrance. Hence, one can easily accomplish the twin adventures of a tour on board an Everglades shuttle as well as the excursion on the tram. In order to avail of this Everglades tour Miami, patrons can drive about 11 miles west of Krome Avenue on Highway 41 and come to the Miccosukee Indian Reservation. Buffalo Tiger's Airboat Tours is operated and owned by an Indian family. It is open seven days a week from 9 in the morning to 5 in the evening, and reservations are not required. You can just show up and go for the fun Everglades airboat ride. The tour offers an exciting and educational ride on a fan boat, including a stop at a genuine American Indian camp with a boardwalk. The guides on the boats are full of knowledge and information about the area, the native wildlife and the history of the region. Their narration is quite informative and interesting. The visit to the Indian village is also excellent. You will thoroughly enjoy this interesting, factual and non-gimmicky adventure.


 

  • Tram tours at Shark Valley:This part of a Miami Everglades tour is also fascinating. An alligator tour of the lands is also included in the tour. The tram tour provides guided tours of the paved road which lasts for 2 hours. The trail is 15 miles long and begins from the 'visitors center' at Shark Valley. There are no restaurants in Shark Valley. However, vending machines with drinks and small snacks are present at the tram office premises. People with disabilities can also avail of the tram tours. They may call the staff in advance so that arrangements can be made to accommodate any of their special needs.


    • The tour: It is an open air excursion through a particular area of the Everglades National Park. All the trips are guided by rangers or naturalists that are trained by the park. They are well prepared to make the journey an unforgettable one. The rangers will not only give an insight of the habitat as a whole, but will also share information about certain aspects of the ecosystem which make it a world famous swamp, as well as a World Heritage Site. The open trams allow the tourists to check out the wildlife occurring in the sawgrass prairies from both sides of the vehicle.



    • The Observation Tower at Shark Valley: At the mid-way mark of the tram tour, visitors will come across a 45 foot tall observation deck. You will get the opportunity to gaze at the serene vistas of the Florida Everglades from up above, and enjoy the views extending to twenty miles in all directions. There is a well maintained ramp that allows the visitors to easily access the observation deck. Also, every part of the ramp and deck will offer options to observe something different about the Everglades.
