About this activity

Take the road less traveled with this self-guided driving tour through the lush wetlands of Big Cypress National Preserve.

As you tour this serene and strangely beautiful land, you’ll hear about the Seminole tribe, plans to destroy the preserve to build an airport, and a whole lot more.
