Exploring the wilderness from a Swamp Buggy is a great way to experience the diverse habitats found in the Everglades. As you travel through lush pine islands, hardwood hammocks, cypress swamps and wetlands you will soon realize that this is truly a one of kind experience. The elevated view from the legendary Swamp Buggy allows for a much more intimate glimpse of the magnificent plants and wildlife, some found no where else in the world. Take a nature walk where few have ever been before. Of course, if you prefer to explore from the comfort of the buggy that is fine too.

This was just spectacular. Take your time, take drinks and snacks. Alligators along side the road, lots of birds, even a snake crossing.
5. Kirby Storter Roadside Park

Reviewed By allthegirls2014 - Naples, United States
Nice short boardwalk, really well maintained. There were likely alligators at the end, but I didn't spot one. Saw an absolutely stunning great blue heron and lots of turtles. Easy, easy walk for all ages. Maybe children won't love it as it's not enough bang for your buck. Much more likely to see alligators other places. It is a nice place to see the cypresses get larger. At the beginning (top) of the boardwalk the bald cypresses are underfed (soil is less nutritious), so they are much shorter, but as you move down in elevation (imperceptibly), the trees grow much taller.

Tons of birds if you drive slow enough to look. Very dusty road from those going past you fast. Lots to see and the boardwalk at the beginning was nice to stop at.
