One of the best ways to see the Glades is to rent a boat. Get out there with the birds and the quiet. Don't go too far and pay attention to your route. Get back well before dark. Much better than any tour or campground.
As one who knows the Everglades very well(from one end to the other); I would never advise renting a boat to a person who has never been there before.
At the northern end they would get hopelessly lost in and around the ten thousand Islands and at the southern end if they went into the Gulf, and didn't know the waters, they would end up on a bar. If they headed in land, the only way to go is via the Buttonwood canal and all they would see would be mangroves.
Either way they went, they would never see the true Everglades
On another note: If you stay at Miami Everglades campground, Key Largo is only a half hour away and you could get in a snorkeling trip out to the reef or a glass bottom boat ride to it out of John Pennekamp coral Reef state park
