Big Cypress National Preserve is a United States National Preserve located in South Florida, about 45 miles west of Miami on the Atlantic coastal plain
We will leave Fort Lauderdale and drive west to US 41 until we get to the Loop Road. The road is scenic, well worn, and sometimes even impassable during rain. This is a tour that travels the Loop Road in addition to visiting other parts of the surrounding preserve. Traveling with a guide enables you to focus on the sights and wildlife viewing rather than on navigating the rutted road.
Plus, you might learn about the history of the area from your guide. This tour is best during Florida’s dry season from November to March.
Loop Road is a great spot to go biking or driving around. There are trails where you can hike or swamp walk tours.You can also go onto Tamiami Trail and visit Shark Valley or go on an air boat ride. It's a great place to bird watch, get some pics, videos and see the alligators
