Shark Valley Tram Tour - Alligators All Around! - Everglades National Park, Florida
Our little junior rangers were eager to check out Everglades National Park. We visited the Shark Valley Visitor Center and took the tram tour. Park guests could also walk or bike ride the 17 mile trail to the tower, but the tram was the perfect way for us to explore. Along the way, guides shared information about the history, wildlife and landscape of this beautiful national park. We spotted well over 100 alligators in total on this day of exploring!

Shark Valley In Everglades Was Too Expensive For Us ????
Shark Valley In Everglades Was Too Expensive For Us - we are very thankful for our national park annual pass, which saved us $25 on the entrance fee per car. However, we still weren't able to do any of the tram tours because that was $25 per person. Being a couple on a budget for this year long road trip, we weren't able to do any tours inside the Shark Valley.
There was also an option to rent bikes, which was $9/hr per person. We were told that usually people take 2 to 3 hours to complete the loop. Unfortunately, that was still too expensive for us.
So we decided to walk instead, which was not a bad way to get some exercise anyway :-)

WHO ARE WE?
We, Irwin and Victorina, have decided to quit our jobs, sell everything we have and go on an epic road trip of visiting all U.S. National Parks! Follow our journey - from letting go of our material possessions, preparing for the extended camping trip, and even the mistakes, joys, doubts and adventures we make along the way! We hope to inspire others to appreciate the beauty of Planet Earth.
Adventure begins in Feb 2017. We estimate this road trip will take us approximately 12 to 16 months. We know we will some amazing places and meet a lot of interesting people.
If you have an idea or suggestions for us for places to visit along the way, feel free to contact us!
NEW VIDEOS every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. If we miss a day, it is probably because we had no phone signal inside the park or we couldn't find any wifi access. If this is the case, we will upload our video as soon as we get any phone signal.

SHARK VALLEY-EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK-WALKING TOUR-EP09
Shark Valley Everglades National Park is about 2.5 hours south of North Fort Myers, FL. in the Everglades. The name is misleading, because it is basically an Everglades Preserve that has TONS of Alligators laying and swimming around for your pleasure to frollic amongst! We planned on getting there early so we could visit this park for a quick walk around prior to an airboat tour we had booked later in the evening. Come join us as we almost lose our mates in the Everglades,...

Everglades National Park - Shark Valley South Florida, Part 1
On your next visit to South Florida.
Don't forget to check out part 2
You will see numerous alligators, blue herons, and white herons up close without any safety barriers during a visit to Shark Valley. Heeding the recommendations of park officials and a little common sense will be all you need to safely navigate the wild everglade ecosystem.
Everglades National Park covers 1,542,526 acres in Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Collier Counties. The park has two entrance stations. One at Homestead and one at Shark Valley. We chose to explore the expansive everglade system from the Shark Valley location.
You’ll take US 41 to reach Shark Valley wether you are coming from the east coast or west coast. The route is very remote with opportunities for unique recreational experiences along the way including airboat rides and alligator wrestling.
If you plan to hike the 15 mile Shark Valley trail, set aside an entire day. To beat the heat, try to start at sunrise by parking along side of US 41 and hike into the park. This is typical and accepted for hikers and bikers as the visitor center parking lot does not open until 8:30. We saw a huge array of flora and fauna in the short 100 yards between US 41 and the visitor center. In fact, If you don’t have much time and just want to see a great variety of wildlife, just hike in from US41. Once you reach the visitor’s center, enjoy the educational displays and call it a day. That is if you’re pressed for time.
Guided tram tours and bicycle rentals are also available. During our visit, adult tram tickets were $25 and bike rentals were $9 / hour.
We highly recommend hiking the entire loop for all the sights you’ll see. Big alligators, baby alligators, blue herons, and white herons were abundant. Reaching the observation tower for lunch and a mid day break was the high point. What a place to eat lunch and rest. The cool breeze and solitude were rejuvenating.
Make sure you check the weather forecast and plan for storms appropriately. The fact that Florida is the lightning capital of the country should be taken seriously. The trail is wide open with no concealment along the 7.5 miles between the visitor center and observation tower.
When we completed our hike in mid November 2018, restrooms at the observation tower were closed for renovation. There are portable restrooms; however, there is no water available. Make sure you pack enough water for the whole trip. Remember, the trail is concrete and wide open with no shade under the relentless Florida sun. Pack what you think should be enough water, and then throw in another liter.
There was so much to see and show during our adventure, that we will be presenting it in a two episode series. Next weeks episode will showcase the sites and sounds we encountered on our return to the visitor center from the observation tower.
Let us know if you have any questions below in the comments. We’d love to hear about your visit as well. Hope to see you on the trail….

Shark valley part 2 shows an amazing wonderland of flora and fauna. Continuing from part 1, we experienced many large alligators, blue herons and numerous types of birds. Great place for family and adventurous people. We hiked this 16 mile asphalt road, other options are cycling, or tram. We recommend taking tram to the tower and then walking back to the visitors center. Bring lots of water and a sun-umbrella if you plan to backpack the park. Everglades National Park covers 1,542,526 acres in Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Collier Counties. The park has two entrance stations. One at Homestead and one at Shark Valley. We chose to explore the expansive everglade system from the Shark Valley location.
If you'r looking for day hiking the Homestead area close to the Everglades National Park has numerous trail to explore.
