While visitors can enjoy a multitude of activities from hiking, canoeing and biking, to camping, ranger led programs, tram tours and boat tours the most popular way to explore and experience the everglades is to enjoy a speed boat trip, known as the airboat, through the marshes and the streams where visitors have the opportunity to see alligators and other wildlife.
