When entering the Everglades via Homestead (south of Miami) and you drive the main road all the way to the end, you arrive at Flamingo City. Flamingo City has a marina where you can take several cruises, rent boats or canoes.
I would really recommend the Cruise into the Everglades. The narrator explains a lot about why the Everglades looks the way it looks, what animals live there etc. On the way you can see crocadils, alligators and maybe even a dolphin (they enter the Everglades via the bay because there a many tasty fish to be found in the rivers and lakes of the Everglades.

Going out into the Everglades on a boat alone with one child was strange for me. Once I was out there and we made one turn or another and I realized that I really was 'out there' in the eight foot or so high sawgrass, in a boat with the alligators and who knows what, the feeling was surreal. But we managed a good day of fishing, and when I was able to navigate the boat back to safe harbour I had a real feeling of achievement.
