Shark Valley Tram Tour
Bob Nodell
Exploring the Shark Valley area by tram is a great way to see and learn about the wildlife and history of Everglades National Park.
Guided two-hour tram tours are offered along a fifteen-mile loop trail into the "River of Grass".
The open air trams allow for abundant wildlife viewing opportunities, and stop at the Shark valley Observation tower for a bird's eye view of the sweeping Everglades ecosystem.
Tours depart from the Shark Valley Visitor Center located along U.S. Hwy 41/Tamiami Trail, 25 miles west of Miami, FL. Reservations are strongly recommended from November through April when Everglades National Park is at its busiest.
