Florida's National Parks

The environmental crown jewel is The Everglades National Park, unique to the planet with millions of acres of tropical, watery grasslands, mangroves and ecosystems that hold incredible species of wildlife. With over a million alligators in the park, it’s not unusual to see one ambling across the road!

The park is a magnet for wildlife enthusiasts from all over the world because of the endangered species that thrive here such as manatees, sea turtles, Florida panthers, long-legged birds such as the blue heron and thousands of other wild plants and animals

Florida corals are home to countless species of sea life, protected within Biscayne National Park. The offshore reefs within the park waters are only reachable by boat where snorkelling above the incredible colours and low lying shipwrecks offer you an unforgettable experience.

For an all year round destination it’s hard to beat the Florida Keys. Stretching out in a gentle arc south-southwest and then westward to Key West and finally onto The Dry Tortugas, still uninhabited and a wildlife paradise.

Take a step back in history at Fort Jefferson, built between 1846 and 1875 to protect shipping along the Straits of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, among other strategic needs. This subtropical paradise is in an area renowned for its laid back barefoot holiday destinations so its no surprise many people take to the water and go island hopping to experience the rich wildlife and flora that exists here

Even lesser known yet, but just as magnificent are the Canaveral National Seashore home to more than 100 Native American Indian shell middens and the Gulf Islands National Seashore home to the longest tract of protected seashore in the USA.

Our extensive selection of hotels gives you the opportunity to stay in these amazing National Parks where in addition to the beautiful natural environment, there’s an abundance of golf, tennis and water sports as well as some unusual attractions close to many of these hotels. So if you’re not spotting dolphins then you can surf the fashionable boutiques and outlet shopping!
