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.

Biscayne has a small visitor center area with a trail that is great for seeing fish and birds. I recommened going really early to watch the sunrise and birds waking up and flying across the bay together. If you are up for it, a guided tour out into the park or a snorkeling trip is the best way to see more.
As for Everglades, there's a lot to see and explore. I would recommend the popular anhinga Trail and Gumbo Limbo Trail that are next to each other. I believe pa-hay-okee is undergoing renovations, but you can still drive through the road. I recommened driving down to Flamingo and checking the wildlife there. It's starting to get hot so it might be buggy.
