Once all the humans have left for the day and all the boats are put away, the wildlife takes advantage of this quiet time….and so do we!

Join us on a Night Safari in search of the elusive and nocturnal creatures of the everglades. We’ll start around sunset and venture deep into the darkside of the glades. Great horned owls, Florida Panthers, bobcat and black bear are on the move overnight. The opossum, curious raccoons and even Everglades Mink are also active after dark. During the warm nights, we see lots of alligators, frogs, turtles, and other reptiles as well.  The warm nights will also ignite the chorus of frogs and the symphony of crickets and owls join in. You must experience the Natural sounds of the Everglades at night!!

The Big Cypress preserve is a designated dark sky zone, and you will be truly amazed by the night sky here. We’ll take you into the darkness to observe and photograph the heavenly bodies. You can easily see all of the constellations, we see satellites tracking through the sky, and have also watched rockets launched from Cape Canaveral!
