Everglades National Park in Everglades City, FL is a stunning natural wonderland, offering visitors the chance to explore the Ten Thousand Islands, a labyrinth of mangrove islands and waterways accessible only by boat. The park's Gulf Coast Visitor Center serves as the gateway to this unique ecosystem, providing limited services and amenities for visitors.
Although the original visitor center was destroyed by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and the temporary contact station was destroyed by Hurricane Ian in 2022, the park continues to offer a popular boat tour to the Ten Thousand Islands. Led by trained guides and occasionally joined by Park Rangers, this two-hour tour showcases the region's natural and cultural resources, as well as historical landmarks along the Barron River.
