About Shark Valley
Shark Valley is a northern access to the Everglades, with a circuit alongside wetland environments. The observation tower and the tram or bicycle route offer a different perspective of the landscape.
The experience differs from the Homestead southern entrance and Royal Palm. Animals may appear in different sectors, but the outing should be chosen for the environment and the route; wildlife presence along the road is not guaranteed.
To organize a visit to Shark Valley, arrange round-trip transport and check the circulation mode; the long trail requires planning for exertion and heat. The observation tower adds an elevated reading of the wetland plain in contrast to the landscape seen at ground level.
