Can't say enough good things about Shark Valley tram tours! We were going to bike the 15 mile trail, but thought better of it to take on such a demanding physical task in July. We chose to take the tram tour at 9:30am on a Wednesday. Dan was our driver and Juan was our guide. These guys made the trip absolutely worth the money! They were both knowledgeable, funny, and quick to point out anything of interest during the ride. The only thing that could make this experience better would be if the ports-potties halfway through the tour had hand sanitizer. If you want to see gators, try to go during the cooler months and not in the hottest parts of the day. We only saw one on a very hot July morning, but these guys still made it an unforgettable experience. Would highly recommend. 10/10!
![tram tour reviews](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/jDJI60mySG0zXYFVrR5j_A/348s.jpg)
We had an awesome driver and emcee. We saw a lot of alligators, turtles, birds. We had the opportunity to climb the tower which was really cool. Our emcee was very knowledgeable about the ecosystem of the Everglades, the type of wildlife we saw. She explained the difference between alligators and crocodiles. Overall would do this tour again.

Did this in June, and it was packed. They said February was usually their best time. We lucked out and got a non-rainy tour. Maybe a few drops, but we stayed dry. Both the driver and Ranger Jeep were great, lots of good information all around. Only saw a few gators as it was super hot and they were under water, but it was fine. Lots of cool birds, the fish at the tower at the halfway point were awesome. Just lots of good information and humor throughout. Highly recommend!

We had a fabulous 2-hour tram tour at Shark Valley on 2/19/24 at 3 pm. Both guide and driver were excellent, with the driver doing a great job to spot wildlife and ensure that everyone on board had a chance to see it. The guide ID'd the wildlife and gave great explanations of the local flora and fauna while mentioning what was invasive as well. We saw many alligators, anhinga red-shouldered hawk, purple gallinule, herons, egrets, and other species. I highly recommend this educational tour. A couple of things to be aware of: 1) while this tour operates within the national park, it is a concession. 2) You need to pay admission or have a pass to enter the park. Parking is limited, and when the lot is full you will wait in line to enter the park. One car is allowed in when one car leaves. If you've prepaid, plan to arrive early to be sure you don't forfeit your reservation.

![tram tour reviews](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/RzWce1rhioeSfCIV9ZrQvA/348s.jpg)
I'd highly recommend the 15 mile bike ride through the Everglades here! You'll pay about $35 to enter the park with your car, and once you're in, plan to see lots of gators and cool wildlife! I've been here twice. On the first visit, which was a cold, cloudy day, we saw over 40 gators, some of whom were sunbathing right in the bike path! Today was warmer, so most gators are under the water. We saw about 8 total throughout the ride. We also some a few beautiful birds. Overall, this is a very peaceful and relaxing ride that almost anyone can do!

Our group took the Tram Tour today. The speaker, Mike did a great job. We saw lots of gators and a few birds. It was two hour tour which was mostly looking at sawgrass.

TIP: Sit on the driver side of the tram for the best views in my opinion. JUST TAKE IT! We took the Shark Valley tram in April 2023 while visiting the Everglades. I had been hesitant to take the tram as the reviews I'd read were so-so, but there wasn't much else to do, so we went for it. We were pleasantly surprised! The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is I felt it was a bit on the pricey side, but ultimately well worth it. PARK AND PAY We arrived on the early side and parked in the Shark Valley Visitor Center parking lot. We paid for the tram ride in the gift shop and waited on the benches outside where you can use the restroom, get a soda from the vending machine or eat snacks and sandwiches purchased from the shop. You can also get your National Park Passport stamped in the shop/visitor center. The visitor center is quite small -- if you want to visit a larger/better one at Everglades, I recommend the Ernest F. Coe visitor center, closer to Homestead. INFORMATIVE The narrator, Kelly was excellent -- she was very enthusiastic , passionate and interesting and totally made the tour. Also a shout out to our driver Woody! I was glad that we took the tram over renting a bike as we were able to benefit from the educational narration and a roof over our heads, sheltering us from the sun. Definitely wear a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and bring water as even in April it was very hot and humid. The tram itself has hard seats and is a bit cramped as you're sat knee to knee with your neighbor. My husband and I sat one in front of the other so we both had a seat next to the 'window'. (There's no glass, it's all open air). OBSERVATION TOWER STOP Approximately halfway through, (at the 7-mile mark) we stopped at the Shark Valley Observation Tower for about 20 minutes. It's an ugly concrete tower with walking ramps that was formerly part of an oil well that gives you a 360 degree, 20 mile view over the area. It was good to stretch our legs. We saw a variety of wildlife along the way including many alligators and birds. Note: There are restrooms at the visitor center and at the observation tower, although some of them weren't working at the observation tower. We later drove to the Oasis Visitor Center, but it was disappointingly closed, so be sure to check for opening hours/closures.

We absolutely enjoyed ourselves on this tour. The weather was perfect and the tour was so informative. We recommend this over walking or biking the 15 miles... you simply can't get all of the good info on your own as you take in the amazing Everglades wildlife.

If you're planning a trip to Miami or Fort Lauderdale, Florida , visiting Everglades National Park should be on your to-do list. The South Florida national park is known for its expansive beauty, as well as its varied population of wildlife that includes everything from bobcats to alligators.
To see all the Everglades has to offer, sign up for a guided tour. U.S. News consulted both traveler sentiment and expert opinion to identify the top Everglades tours. Before you go, make sure you read through the National Park Service's Wildlife Viewing Ethics to keep both yourself and the animals safe during your time in the park. When choosing the best Everglades tours, we avoided recommending operators that promote wildlife shows or encourage feeding or holding the animals for photo-ops.
Visitors should plan to pay a fee to enter the park, as it may not be included in the price of the tour ticket. You should also keep in mind that many of these tour operators are located at least 30 miles west of Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Tours that run on airboats – open-air vessels with huge fans at the back that propel the boat – can be very loud. Companies will generally offer ear protection, but if you or your companions are sensitive to loud noises, contact the tour provider to discuss options before you book.

Frequently Asked Questions
Like any other form of transportation, riding an airboat may come with some risks. To stay safe on your Everglades airboat tour, be sure to choose a company run by experienced, professional boaters (most of which undergo special training and are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard) and adhere to all rules set forth by your guide. Parents should keep a close eye on children and be sure they are properly fitted for their life jackets, and all passengers should protect against the heat by wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated. Commercial airboats typically do not exceed speeds of 30 to 40 mph to ensure a safe, smooth ride, and most operators will reschedule your tour in the event of lightning or other inclement weather. Tour companies will also generally provide riders with proper ear protection, as the boats are quite loud.
Typically, passengers will feel the most comfortable in lightweight, sleeveless clothing and shorts while on an Everglades airboat tour. If you are taking a wintertime tour, keep an eye on the weather – pants and long sleeves may be a better option, but you likely won't need a heavy jacket. Be sure to bring sunglasses, sunscreen and water to protect yourself from the effects of the sun; you may also want a hat to provide further shade and keep hair in place. Passengers with long hair are advised to wear it in a ponytail or bun to keep it from becoming knotted in the wind. Tourgoers may also wish to apply some bug spray prior to embarking on their adventure.
Airboat tours last about an hour, though duration will depend on the tour company.
An airboat's top speed is about 30 mph.
Not normally, but you run a small risk of getting misted with water. If you take a tour when it is raining, expect to get wet.
In winter, you'll want to time your visit for midday, when it warms up. In summer, you'll want to visit in the morning or later afternoon when it's coolest. Visiting at these times can increase your chances of seeing wildlife, but you'll likely see all kinds of critters no matter when you visit year-round.

The Yosemite Valley Tram Tour: an Amazing and EASY Way to See Yosemite NP
By: Author Rob Taylor
Posted on Published: February 1, 2023 - Last updated: May 8, 2023
![tram tour reviews The Yosemite Valley Tram Tour: an Amazing and EASY Way to See Yosemite NP](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/LittleMan-on-Tram-tour-in-Yosemite-National-Park-1-728x546.jpg)
While we typically just do our own thing and plot out sights we want to see, every now and then we’ll do a tour. National Parks are so easy to explore on your own, especially when you’re planning on hiking a bunch, but when we were in California, we opted to do the Yosemite Valley tram tour. It was a great option for the family and worth the time.
Yosemite National Park welcomed us for our tour and told us to have fun and get a good seat to be able to listen to the ranger. We did and we learned a lot about Yosemite National Park … and about how to manage kids on a two hour tour. It was great though.
![tram tour reviews You can always drive yourself around checking out views but having a guide is brilliant and so enjoyable. The Yosemite Valley Floor tram tour is amazing with kids! 2traveldads.com](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Yosemite-Tram-pin-615x1024.jpg)
Basics of the Yosemite Valley tram tour
The Yosemite Valley tram tour needs to be booked in advance. There are only so many of the hybrid open air trams and only so many seats. And I’ll tell you, Yosemite National Park is an EXTREMELY popular destination for people from all around the world… and on the west coast of the USA … and for Californians doing a weekend getaway. Basically, everybody loves Yosemite and it is always busy, so plan ahead.
The Yosemite Valley tram tour goes out from the lodge near Yosemite Falls . It does NOT leave from the Visitors Center and is not close to it. You MUST park close by or you’ll be walking forever.
The Yosemite Valley tram tour is hosted by a National Park Ranger, not a third party guide. This is great for two reasons: 1.) it’s somebody who’s fully invested in the park and the tour and 2.) Park Rangers are knowledgeable, caring people that are genuinely passionate about their stomping grounds, Yosemite National Park. We love Park Rangers! Ranger Adam was really wonderful on our tour.
![tram tour reviews Park Ranger leading tram tour of Yosemite Valley Floor in Yosemite National Park 1](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Park-Ranger-leading-tram-tour-of-Yosemite-Valley-Floor-in-Yosemite-National-Park-1-768x1024.jpg)
Tip : kids, or at least ours, love Rangers and totally trust them. Doing activities like completing a Junior Ranger program or going on a Ranger-led tour or hike are great ways to inspire kids to care about the environment and maybe plant some career goal seeds in them.
The tram tour really is two hours+. The time is used fully, between planned stops where you get off the tram or pull over to look for rock climbers high on the cliffs, or if you’re just sitting by the Merced River listening to nature for a few moments. The sights, sounds and information the Park Ranger shares goes from start to finish.
![tram tour reviews Taylor Family on tram tour of Yosemite Valley Floor in Yosemite National Park 1](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Taylor-Family-on-tram-tour-of-Yosemite-Valley-Floor-in-Yosemite-National-Park-1.jpg)
Sights to See from the Yosemite Tram
Everything in Yosemite National Park is a sight to see. Even the low-lying plants in the woods are worth your time to appreciate. But hey, we’re in Yosemite so we’re talking about grand sights and stories. And for a really cool hotel IN YOSEMITE, check out this review of the Yosemite Valley Lodge !
Such an amazing, striking piece of rock. For sure, it’s incredible. Our Yosemite Valley tram tour guide was great, especially when it came to sharing stories and info about El Capitan and the other rock formations in the Park. Ranger Adam was very passionate about rock climbing and geology and shared lots of stories about mountaineering and its history in the park. The best though were his own stories about climbing El Capitan (16 times I think he said) and helping us spot climbers up high on the face of the rock.
![tram tour reviews El Capitan in Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park 2traveldads.com](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/El-Capitan-in-Yosemite-Valley-in-Yosemite-National-Park-2traveldads.com_.jpg)
Fun moment : Ranger Adam had a friend traversing El Capitan on the day of our tram tour, so when we got to a spot with a clear view of her route up the cliff, Ranger Adam had everybody yell hello to her in unison. Oliver loved this because, well, what four year old doesn’t want to yell at the top of their lungs whenever possible? But really, such a cool Ranger with great stories. Fun fact : the Yosemite Valley tram tour takes you by Camp 4 which is seemingly just a campground, but it’s on the National Registry of Historic Places due to its significance in the development and advancement of mountaineering.

The Merced River in the Yosemite Valley
Starting up in the Sierras beyond Half Dome is the Merced River. It cascades down Nevada Falls and then meanders along the Yosemite Valley floor. We made two stops along it, once to get out and stretch and use the bathrooms/take pictures and the other just to listen to it. The Merced River isn’t a raging one in this area of Yosemite National Park, but it’s beautiful and mirrors the colors of the sky and trees around it.
![tram tour reviews Merced River from tram tour of Yosemite Valley Floor in Yosemite National Park 1](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Merced-River-from-tram-tour-of-Yosemite-Valley-Floor-in-Yosemite-National-Park-1-768x1024.jpg)
Unrelated tip : we enjoyed an afternoon picnic on the Merced River at the Cathedral picnic area. This spot is accessible from South Side Drive and has plenty of parking, picnic tables and great places to enjoy lunch down on the river. It is one of the most breathtaking picnic spots we’ve ever eaten at, and that includes the Steamboat picnic site in Yellowstone National Park.
![tram tour reviews Taylor Family having a picnic at Cathedral Picnic Area in Yosemite National Park 2](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Chris-Taylor-relaxing-at-Cathedral-Merced-River-Yosemite-National-Park-2traveldads.com_.jpg)
Tunnel View: Busy but Worth It
I could go on forever about the beauty of Tunnel View, but I won’t. Instead, read our article about Tunnel View and see why it’s worth the stop and how to leverage a visit to this amazing vista to create an awesome Yosemite experience. Basically, Tunnel View captures everything you went to Yosemite to experience, but from a distance. It’s a great place to be inspired.
![tram tour reviews Chris Taylor and TinyMan at Tunnel View in Yosemite National Park 2traveldads.com (1)](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Chris-Taylor-and-TinyMan-at-Tunnel-View-in-Yosemite-National-Park-2traveldads.com-1-e1463464152672.jpg)
Tip : if you bring a small tripod on the Yosemite Valley tram tour, you’ll have a long stop at Tunnel View and can capture the clouds rolling across the Yosemite Valley. It’s a beautiful sight and a great family photo spot.
Half Dome: the Yosemite Icon
Half Dome is huge. Huge. You only get a few great views of it because it’s enormous and as you approach it, it overwhelms you and you lose the ability to photograph it well. The approach and departure from the Half Dome area is really wonderful though and you’ll get a pretty good idea of how immense it is… as you fail to capture Half Dome in one frame on your camera.
![tram tour reviews Rob Taylor and Half Dome from Valley Floor in Yosemite National Park 2traveldads.com](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0618-1024x768.jpg)
Hiking up Half Dome is a bucket list hike for a lot of people. It’s its own full day activity and needs to be permitted in advance. If you didn’t score your permit months out when they first opened them, seeing Half Dome from the Yosemite Valley Tram Tour is may be as good as you’ll get. It’s great, but it’s not epic like viewing the whole valley from atop Half Dome.
PS: I’ve done it. Hiking Half Dome is astounding and very tiring. It’s well worth the hike, but it’s intense. The views and the waterfalls are awesome, and really, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime hike.
![tram tour reviews Half Dome from Yosemite Valley Floor in Yosemite National Park 5](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Half-Dome-from-Yosemite-Valley-Floor-in-Yosemite-National-Park-5-1024x683.jpg)
Bridal Veil and Yosemite Falls
Each of these sights needs its own visit, but you get to see both of them on the Yosemite Valley Tram tour. Bridal Veil Falls is the star of the show, being seen at the first tram tour stop along the Merced River and then again when you reach Tunnel View… and then again when you drive by it on South Side Drive. It’s beautiful from every angle. And if you get out and walk up to it, you’ll get a bit soaked.
![tram tour reviews Rob Taylor and Tinyman using Piggyback Rider at Bridal Veil Falls in Yosemite National Park 4](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Rob-Taylor-and-Tinyman-using-Piggyback-Rider-at-Bridal-Veil-Falls-in-Yosemite-National-Park-4.jpg)
Yosemite Falls has two main splash downs. Upper Yosemite Falls is a phenomenal, picture perfect sight with its flow being stolen by the wind and spread across the face of the cliff. Lower Yosemite Falls is not as high and is more concentrated, but still pretty. Together, they are a sight to behold and if you’ve got a kid into waterfalls (enter Oliver, our oldest) it’s the golden ticket of falls.
![tram tour reviews Yosemite Falls from tram tour of Yosemite Valley Floor in Yosemite National Park 1](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Yosemite-Falls-from-tram-tour-of-Yosemite-Valley-Floor-in-Yosemite-National-Park-1-768x1024.jpg)
Stops on the Yosemite Valley Tram Tour
There are only two stops that are structured into the tour. The first stop is along the Merced River and lasts about ten minutes or so. This is the only stop where there is a bathroom available. This is also a great photo opportunity, from family pics in front of Bridal Veil Falls to photographing native flowering trees.
![tram tour reviews Tram tour in Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park 2 2traveldads.com](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Tram-tour-in-Yosemite-Valley-in-Yosemite-National-Park-2-2traveldads.com_.jpg)
Tunnel View is the other stop. You know we love Tunnel View and think that of all of the sights in our National Parks, Tunnel View is the most iconic and represents what America’s National Parks are set up to protect. Enjoy this stop and take in the Yosemite Valley for all that it’s worth.
Tip : hot day or cold, being in an open air tram will dry you out. If you didn’t bring your own water bottle, take advantage of the water cooler that the tour provides. We’re constantly reminding our kids (and our readers) to stay hydrated for the best experiences.
![tram tour reviews Rob Taylor and kids at Tunnel view Yosemite National Park 2traveldads.com](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Rob-Taylor-and-kids-at-Tunnel-view-Yosemite-National-Park-2traveldads.com_.jpg)
Being Prepared for the Yosemite Valley Tram Tour
Oh hey, we just reminded you to bring a water bottle, but we’ll tell you again. Stay hydrated! Other important things to remember:
Go potty ahead of time Bring a light jacket and a hat (it gets windy and there can be weird weather) Eat first because there’s no food allowed on the Yosemite Valley tram tour and you’ll be hungry by the time it’s over. BRING YOUR CAMERA Bring a small tripod if you want to capture a beautiful time lapse video when you’re at the planned stops
So, was the two hour tour worth our time? Did the kids appreciate it? Yes and yes. While it may seem like two hours isn’t long enough to experience the Yosemite Valley, it actually is plenty for just taking in the sights. Two hours of information from your Park Ranger guide is a lot to absorb, but it’s incredible to hear from those working directly with the Park all of their stories and tips.
![tram tour reviews Chris Taylor and Sleeping TinyMan after tram tour of Yosemite Valley Floor in Yosemite National Park 1](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Chris-Taylor-and-Sleeping-TinyMan-after-tram-tour-of-Yosemite-Valley-Floor-in-Yosemite-National-Park-1-e1463806081693-883x1024.jpg)
The kids were fine with the length, as there were enough stops to break it up and the open air makes it not feel like being in a car. Also, since both kids fell asleep and got small naps, well, that’s always good and made the rest of our day easier. I think we all felt that it was a great idea to do the Yosemite Valley tram tour during our road trip, and it was especially good for a way to introduce the kids to Yosemite for their first visit.
![tram tour reviews Taylor Family on tram tour of Yosemite Valley Floor in Yosemite National Park 2](https://2traveldads.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Taylor-Family-on-tram-tour-of-Yosemite-Valley-Floor-in-Yosemite-National-Park-2.jpg)
Family travel idea : we haven’t done them, but many National Parks offer tours. Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks offer them on vintage buses. Kayaking tours in Everglades National Park are amazing. THe overall Dry Tortugas National Park tour experience is unforgettable! There are so many options.

Do you recommend a time to take the tram, day or evening?
If you can do it later in the afternoon you'll get my favorite sunny angle, but in the morning you'll get more active wildlife. Mid-day can be so hot and it's when the park is busiest, so I recommend avoiding from 11am until about 3pm.

Hi! Thank you for sharing your life experiences! I am taking a Girl Scout Troop out to Yosemite in June 2020. Can you recommend interesting stops on the way to Yosemite from San Fran? The girls are 16 and 17 yrs old. I think we will be coming in via hwy 140. We are located in Atlanta so planning this trip from afar has been fun and challenging. Any advice you can give for our 3 days in Yosemite would be helpful. Thanks Liz
Wow! Fun! Let me work on it. I'm going to send you a quick email so I don't forget.
Sunday 15th of January 2017
You mentioned booking the tram well in advance. Where might one do that? Do you have a link you could provide or phone number? We are anticipating staying at the Yosemite Lodge but didn't want to wing it and just assume we could catch a tram because we'd be staying there.
Thanks in advance. Momma from Dallas, Texas
