WILD & WONDERFUL Widely known for its sophistication and charm, Naples is also a gateway to South Florida’s wild and wonderful subtropical ecosystem. By Jeffrey Laign Naples has another side. To find it, you have to take to the woods — or a park or an island. The best part is that you’ll be in for quite the adventure, because there are all sorts of ways to experience the city’s wild wonders. Take an airboat ride through the winding waterways of the Everglades. Post a photo of a frolicking dolphin jumping up out of the water. Learn why alligators have such thick skins. Explore on your own or step into the wilderness with an experienced local guide from a Naples ecotourism company.
