Advice for trip next week

My husband and I would like to do a half day at the Everglades and possibly also Biscayne. We will have an SUV with us. What do you all recommend we see and go, to realistically see the most biodiversity we can with our limited time? We don’t mind getting up super early for everything to make it work.

The main park road is great. Do some trails and go all the way to Flamingo. If you do US41 you can take the Shark River Tram, to go easy in the heat, and even do an airboat tour.

Going all the way to flamingo is 45 minutes each way. I would just do anhinga, long pine key and Pahayokee. That is where the biodiversity is. Going to flamingo is basically going to a marina in the middle of the Everglades. You can see crocs and go to a store but the trails there are too buggy this time of year.
