You'll see tons of gators along with a variety of birds and learn about the unique eco system from a park ranger. Recommend you sit on the left side (driver side) of the tram because after the stop at the observation tower all of the wildlife is on that side. More

Overall a positive experience. Priced about right at $19 per adult. Apparently dry season (OCT-APR) is the time of year to visit. We did see a few small alligators in the water and some birds. The observation tower walk at the mid-point of the tour was worthwhile. The tower is a lonely, almost haunting sentinel. First half of the ride... More

If you have any interest in seeing the glades, take this tour. Begin by sitting in on the ranger lead intro under the awning. Walk around a bit. BUT BE SURE TO TAKE THE TRAM TOUR! Outstanding guide. Had us take off our shoes an socks and stand in the mud of the glades. Saw many alligators and wonderful bird... More

The tour was great, very informative. Driver and speaker were knowledgeable and courteous. The place is beautiful with diverse wildlife. I will definitely go back. Much to be said about some of the employees in the ticket area. I am not sure if they were part of the Tram Tours company or part of Everglades National Park. They were very... More

My husband and I took the first tram tour (9 am) at Shark Valley today. I agree with everything that has been said about the tour. Very informative and educational. But we wanted to make sure we got there early to get a ticket as we didn't have a reservation and arrived at 8 am. We were the second car... More

This tour is a must if you are visiting Shark Valley in Everglades. They have it every hour on the hour. The tour guide has been there for more than 16 years and knows almost everything about the Everglades and the animals/birds/tress over there. More

We didn't expect much of this tour, but as we took my elderly parents, felt it would be a chance for them to 'experience' some of the grassland everglades. Well, I had a surprise, because I loved the tour. The guide was throwing really interesting facts at us all the time, and with such humor, we really just found the... More
