We were expecting to see 2-3 alligators in the wild, but we saw more than 15 alligators around this trail. It is a beautiful place. Though it is a short walk, we spent lot of time observing various birds and alligators. A must place to visit in Everglades. more

For some, the Anhinga Trail will be just a bit too sterile to qualify as a wildlife viewing adventure, however it is that quality which makes Anhinga Trail special. Anhinga trail is a boardwalk into the everglades which is accessible to everyone regardless of age or ability and gives everyone an opportunity to view up close, life in the everglades.... more

This short trail on an elevated walkway over the Everglades is not to be missed! We have been here on both our visits to Florida and absolutely love it. The area is full of wildlife and although it is short we found ourselves captivated for hours and hours. Look for young being fed in the trees too! We think it... more

If you're fascinated by seeing a few alligators and going to a famous boardwalk nature trail, then go to Anhinga trail. There are many other places in the Everglades that aren't well-known, however, where you can see much more wildlife and more picturesque natural settings. There is practically no chance to see any of the terrestrial mammals that live in... more

We saw so much wildlife on this trail, it was hard to remember that it was really wildlife and not a zoo. We went in early March, and all the birds were out (it was around 3 pm), puffing their feathers and singing or putting on mating behavior. And there were so many alligators! Some were just laying around sleeping,... more

I've been there in January 2007. This trails is the best to have a general impression of the Everglades. It's relatively short, well marked and you see most of the Everglades' inhabitants. Lot's of wildlife! It's the perfect place to go if you're short on time. Don't miss the museum and shop right at the park's entrance. And if possible... more

This short trail on an elevated walkway over the Everglades is not to be missed! The area is full of wildlife including, alligators (tons), Anhingas, herons, turtles, fish, snakes and though we didn't see any, the elusive marsh rabbit. It is less than a mile long and full of great picture opportunities. Cost is cheap, especially if you have a... more

We went mid August, and this is a great trail for those who want to do a quick stop of the Everglades (its not too far from the entrance) and takes about 40 minutes. Be sure to look carefully, as it can be easy to miss things! We saw a couple of large crocs - quite scary! We also say... more

Even though mid-summer is supposedly "off-season" for seeing alligators and other wildlife in the Everglades, we were pleasantly surprised, seeing three large 'gators, many fish and numerous birds, including Anhingas. All this at mid-day too. We thought due to the intense heat and sunlight we might not see much but one large alligator crossed the path in front of us... more
