This really depends on how much time you have. If you have only a day, your best bet is to visit one of the visitor centers to view wildlife. The Royal Palm Visitor Center, just 3.5 miles west of the entrance near Homestead, is a good start.
If you have more time, consider an overnight kayak trip into Whitewater Bay. There are platforms set up here and there inside the Bay that accomodate camping tents so visitors can spend the night in the true wilderness of the park. Of course, there's a porta-potty on the platform too, so it's not totally primative.
