Wild Lime Adventures

Wonderful trip Wonderful time. Ryan was such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and the time just flew by. He gave interesting history talks during the drives. Recommend doing this trip

what a great day with Ben! What a great trip! I should begin by saying that chose this trip because it actually goes into Everglades National Park, as opposed to many that provide an airboat ride but do not go into the park itself. We're so glad that we had the chance to explore a bit of the NP, in addition to the requisite - and oh, so fun - air boat ride.

I should begin by saying that chose this trip because it actually goes into Everglades National Park, as opposed to many that provide an airboat ride but do not go into the park itself. We're so glad that we had the chance to explore a bit of the NP, in addition to the requisite - and oh, so fun - air boat ride.

Lindsey picked us up at our hotel right on time, and the she handed us off to Ben, one of the company's owners, who was knowledgeable, funny, accommodating, and made sure that everyone - from our oldest companions to the children on the trip - had a great time. We saw lots of alligators, including one that just quietly swam by us at fairly close proximity, and Ben provided us with great information, as well as making sure that we stayed safe throughout. He was also full of information about the other glorious wildlife in Everglades NP, both plants and animals. We then drove to the airboat launch, and met Elvis, our airboat guide. Elvis knew exactly where to find the alligators out in the "river of grass", and then we were treated to a visit to former island settlement inhabited by a local Native American tribe. The Native women sold their delicious frybread for $10 - and it was spectacular.

We did the half day tour, and just about everyone konked out on the way home in the van we covered a lot of ground! And we were so happy to have chosen Wild Lime with whom to explore the Everglades! read less

Great tour! Worth every penny! The trip was great! Ryan our guide was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The airboat ride to the Indian Village was so much fun. Our boat captain was a Miccosukee Indian.

Great Experience! This was a highlight of our trip! Great guide with lots of knowledge to share with young and old. Full met our expectations!

Amazing time! This is an excellent tour. Natalie was an amazing tour guide and we really enjoyed all the wildlife we saw.

Serious Wildlife Education in the Everglades--great for a family We did a full day private (to accommodate some 80-year-olds needing frequent rests and bathroom breaks--as well as some 20-year-olds) family tour with Zac. The entire experience was terrific. From booking through the end of the day, everything was well-organized and clear. Zac was extremely knowledgeable and patient and had a wealth of information about birds as well as other wildlife, fauna, and history.

Everyone in our party of 6--spanning 3 generations learned a lot, felt well taken care of, and enjoyed themselves. Would highly recommend. We felt so lucky to spend the day with Zac. read less

Zack very knowledgeable Zack is extremely knowledgeable. His plant and animal identification is top notch and it is pleasant to see someone that is very passionate about nature. The wet walk was my favorite part. The other contractors that led the boat rides were okay, but it would have been nice if they could have talked about their particular environment in detail such as the mangroves or watery areas of the everglades.

Well thought out tour, exceptional guide, Wild Lime adventures highly recommended Really packed itinerary covering the Everglades and also hitting the gulf of Mexico through the boat trip. Zac has an amazing knowledge of wildlife and eco system around the Everglades, absolute font of knowledge and passionate on his subject. Tour was exceptional and I would highly recommend Wild lime adventures to use for your tour

Absolutely Incredible Tour DO IT Zach was an absolutely phenomenal guide. He’s so educated and enthusiastic, funny and interesting. What an incredible day, thank you.

Fantastic Day in the Everglades The whole day was fantastic. We were met at our hotel on Miami Beach by Ryan and drove to the Everglades. Ryan’s knowledge and enthusiasm were excellent. He led the nature walk and pointed out lots of wildlife and plant life. The boat ride around the mangroves near Everglades City was a definite highlight. So beautiful and so many birds to see.

Lunch was lovely, sat on the dockside overlooking the water. Amazing to have crossed the State and be sitting virtually on the Gulf Coast.
The Airboat ride was very enjoyable and interesting. We stopped at a former native Indian village and bought souvenirs.
We were very impressed with the amount of Alligators and bird life we saw.
Overall a very successful day, very easy logistics, picked up and returned to our hotel.
We couldn’t have asked for more from our guide. He clearly loves his job.

A smile of contentment and satisfaction Amidst the dearth of positive customer service experiences during my trip to the Miami area, Wild Lime Adventures was a shining oasis of happiness.

The guides Lindsay and Ryan were not only knowledgeable about the natural and cultural aspects surrounding the Everglades, they had superb conversational skills, the ability to field all sorts of questions, and a wit to augment it all. Ben made sure to follow-up with me for all of my necessary information to be sure that all of my logistical needs were met. It might sound simple, or I might sound overly effusive, but that's the magic of receiving great customer service. Companies that provide fantastic experiences make it look easy by communicating well and meeting all of your needs before you knew you had those needs.

I will look for a chance to reconnect with Wild Lime when I'm next in Miami for an experience that respects the environment, respects the culture, and respects my intelligence by delivering a tour that appeals to the highest common denominator. It's hard to put my satisfaction any better since in my head are the negatives that I didn't have to deal with and the visions of unappetizing carnival fare. It was hard to imagine an ideal experience until I had it. I recommend that you try it too. read less

Such an Incredible moment I was a Solo traveler who visited so many countries to experience. But when it comes to this country I really determine my self I'm in a right place. I did a tour with them and was really awesome. Thanks for the whole team for making my holiday amazing.

The real Magic Kingdom is in South Florida I had to limit this to 5 star, otherwise Wild Lime and team would easily garner a 10 star rating for facilitating such an incredible tour. We did the full day trip with Stacy, and started with a wonderful airboat ride through the glades; seeing a number of gators, birds, and turtles while hearing the history of the region and the local Miccosukee Indians.

From there we continued down the road to the 10,000 island area on the coast where we had a great bbq lunch before hopping on a boat to see dolphins (and a baby dolphin!!), all kinds of fish, bald eagles, osprey, etc. - if it lives in south Florida we pretty much saw it all! We made a few more stops on the way back to do a nature walk and see some incredible local art.

There are three overriding takeaways from our trip: 1) Stacy and the Wild Lime crew are amazing - from booking to the expert content on the tour - top notch; 2) the history of south Florida, and the glades in particular, is fascinating and should be experienced with someone who knows what they’re talking about; and 3) several days later, I’m still surprised at the diversity of wildlife that we saw during the day - we would not have seen, or been able to identify, a fraction of the plants and animals that we came across.

Would highly recommend, and we can’t wait to try one of the other tours! read less

Everglades all day trip Stacy was an excellent guide and explained the history of the everglades, the tribes and local stories. Our boat guides through the everglades and to 10,000 mile Island were also very good. We saw a lot of alligators (including babies), many birds, turtles, snakes and dolphins. Really exciting trip and definitely worth every penny!

You will NOT regret this! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour - I learned SO much from Ryan and have a greater appreciation for the Everglades than I would have if I didn't. Got to see plenty of alligators, went to Big Cypress, Smallwood and Chekoloskee (sp?) - the boat trip with Smallwod was INCREDIBLE and we saw dolphins that swam alongside us :). The whole thing was perfect and I am SO thankful that I did this tour - 6 out of 5 STARS!

Great Tour! This trip was just so much fun and so informative. Stacey was our guide and she made the trip so special for us. We learned so many things about the Everglades from her as well as from Elvis and Tristan. Lunch was great and lots of opportunities to share. If you’re in this area and want a day filled with interesting information, this is the tour for you.

Walking tour and airboat ride in the Everglades Our tour guide for the walking tour, Zac has a great knowledge of animal and plant species, I learned a lot from him! He gave lots of interesting explanations about the different habitats of the Everglades. The tour was not too exhausting, family friendly, but rich in species, and we even got refreshments. Our Miccosukee tour guide for the airboat ride was also great, and the native tribe seems to do an excellent work conserving the natural habitats.

Memorable Day in the Everglades Excellent tour! Very enjoyable and memorable day provided by our guide, Zac. Company was very accommodating to our particular pick up and drop off requests.

Expert guides and beautiful scenery Such a unique and special experience. Zach was so knowledgeable about local flora and fauna and his excitement was contagious. The pickup and drop off from our Airbnb was especially helpful since we were traveling without a car. We’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Great walk and boat ride in nature with a very knowledgeable guide for all the family We had a fantastic day with Ben our guide. We saw all the animals there are to see in Shark Valley on our guided walk and had a cool boat ride after. He kept us in snacks and cold drinks and was very nice guy. Age 6-45 loved it.

Kudos to Zac for a great day! Zak was a great guide. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and kind. The boat trip and air boat ride were fun for all of us: grandparents, mom, 13 year old boy and 10 year old girl. We all loved seeing the dolphins! The boardwalk hike was very informative, lots of info about local birds. We ran late due to traffic problems but Zak made sure we made our dinner reservation on time. All-in-all highly recommended!

Fantastic tour Excellent tour Tammy was an amazing guide really knowledgeable about the Everglades and Miami in general.
Ben was great at communicating before the trip.

Great experience! Mike was our guide and he was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, kind, and took care of everyone on the tour. The boat ride was also great, we got to see lots of wild life.

Had such a great time that I went twice! I don’t normally write reviews but I had an absolutely fantastic time with Wild Lime Adventures, both on this full-day tour and their half-day tour. I am a wildlife biologist and a hobby wildlife photographer and I learned a lot about the Everglades and its wildlife from Zac and Stacey. We saw a plethora of wildlife—dolphins, snakes, alligators, dragonflies, butterflies, and many different bird species (including Roseate Spoonbills, Wood Storks, and Limpkins!).

In addition to spotting wildlife, I really enjoyed and appreciated how Stacey and Zac relayed the history of the Everglades in the context of US history, particularly regarding the Miccosukee tribe. They were both extremely knowledgeable about plants and wildlife as well as the natural and social history of the Everglades. Air boat rides in the sawgrass marsh, motorboat rides on the coast, and walks through the cypress prairie and shark valley, a delicious lunch (full-day tour), and I even came away with a number of wildlife photos I was quite happy with! Very highly recommend this company! read less

Superior Tour - Saw Dolphins and Alligators! Our guide Ryan was fantastic! He picked up our family and all our luggage at the cruise ship terminal right on time and then started us out with a very informative tour of Miami before heading to the Everglades. My two girls were absolutely thrilled to see dolphins swim behind our boat on the boat cruise and to see alligators on the air boat tour!

Everglades Experience Our all day tour in the Everglades was a fantastic experience. Lindsey , our guide, was knowledgeable, engaging, and an excellent guide throughout the day. From alligators, dolphins, exotic birds to exhilarating boat rides, it was the highlight of our vacation.
We’d recommend Wild Lime Adventures, and ask for Lindsey, to anyone wishing to experience Florida’s Everglades.

Amazing trip. The trip is well prepared and the staff knows what they are doing. Sandy, our tour guide, knows a lot about the area, the birds and the trees, and is happy to answer all the questions. I loved both of the boat trips. All the staff that is involved in the trip, wants to give you the best time.

Fab tour of Everglades National Park The tour was fabulous and our guide Tammy was knowledgeable and friendly. If you have half a day, this is the best way to experience the Everglades National Park in a short time. It was a fun experience.

Stacey worked with us from the very beginning to craft a private tour that had exactly what we wanted - a wet walk, air boat, and dry hike.

The wet walk wasn’t on our list, but I am so glad she suggested it, because it was the highlight. We also learned a lot about the Native Americans who call the Everglades home. My boys (13 and 10) loved the entire adventure and said it was the best National Park visit they’ve ever had (and we’ve been to some good ones). They loved learning from Stacey (a Ph. D.), and she was great with them. Everything was taken care of for us - transportation, water, lunch, snacks. All we had to do was have fun and learn. Definitely go with Wild Lime if you are looking to see the Everglades while in South Florida. read less

Excellent experience of the Everglades Well organised tour. Picked us up for a nearby hotel. Our guide was informative and the experience was relaxed. We saw alligators and turtles as well as birds. The airboat was very enjoyable.

Serious Educational Tour in the Everglades Our guide, Ryan, gave us a non-stop, comprehensive & well-organized overview of the Everglades -- history of the peoples who first populated the region - Native Americans & Spanish; the spectacular fauna & flora -- rare orchids, bromeliads, wood storks, 'gators, etc.; and culture. We learned about the building of the Tamiami Trail, the history of Everglades City and a whole lot more. We'd highly recommend this tour.

It was a great pleasure spending the day with Ryan, who was patient, responsible, and entertaining. We hope to do the kayak tour with this group next year! read less

Lindsay showed us much flora and fauna in Big Cypress National Preserve. She was such a wealth of knowledge which made it so much more interesting. We would request Lindsay again. Her energy reminded us of our youngest daughter. We are sold on Wild Lime Adventures and will use them again!! read less

Worth It! I did the Full-Day Everglades Tour with a Wet Walk! Zach was terrific! He was so knowledgeable and his enthusiasm was infectious. I highly recommend it!

Great experience on our first US visit Awesome Tour!
Perfect for Tourists and with an awesome guide (Zac) who really does his job with passion.
Pickup, dropoff etc. also went perfectly smooth.

We started the tour with an airboat ride. Ask for Elvis! He was an amazing airboat guide and showed us alligators and lots of birds. He also introduced us to a very special alligator called Mama. You have to see it to believe it!

We then stopped at a local art gallery and had a short hike around a trail there before heading to lunch right by the water. The food was amazing!

On the boat tour, we saw lots of osprey and even had dolphins play around the boat. Our boat guide, Greg, told us a lot about the local history.

We ended the day with a short hike where we saw lots of wildlife including birds, turtles and snakes.

If you want to truly experience the Everglades, the full day tour is the way to go! read less

The Everglades tour we were looking for! We had a wonderful 1/2 day tour with our guide, Zach! He gave us a very in depth tour of the flora and fauna of the Everglades.

An inside look into the Everglades with a real expert We loved our trip with Zac. He knew EVERYTHING about the Everglades, pointing out rare bird and plant species, as well as the unique history of the area. It was the perfect way to experience the Everglades with our family.

Wonderful Everglades Activity Wonderful and thrilling experience on an Everglades fan boat, which was preceded by a 1.5 hour guided walking tour of the Everglades ecosystem. Stacie our knowledgeable and friendly guide pointed out the various flora and fauna - including many edible and non edible plants and various species of birds, alligators, and snakes!

If in the area and looking for the ultimate experience, this is the tour to book.

His flowing narrative continued during an easy hike through part of the park, where he pointed out the flora (including poisonous plants) and fauna (interesting water fowl, alligators, and explained the current problems with invasive pythons) and described the history of the native tribes and colonial powers.

From there we took an air boat tour on the Miccosukee Reservation for about an hour, savoring the beauty of the area before heading back to town.

Aside from the spectacular scenery, what made this tour special was the relaxed but extremely interesting way Ryan wove together history, geology and nature. Do not miss this experience! read less

Fun Day at the Everglades Thank you to Ryan for a great fun day out at the Everglades last week! 11/10. Much appreciated and well worth it.

Exhilarating Fantastic day all around! Guides were informative (our main guide had an incredible amount of knowledge on local history and wildlife), fun and accommodating —-the day was well planned and had a good flow. I thoroughly enjoyed the wet walk and could’ve done another hour of that part of the day!

Fun in the swamp Great time everyone was very knowledgeable and engaging plenty of questions answered lots of alligators and more to see

Awesome day Both the hike and airboat tour were fantastic. E learned a ton and also saw many birds and gators. Highly recommended.

You're in good hands! Awesome day! Our guide, Mike, was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed (snacks, drinks, sunscreen You name it)

We were supposed to get picked up by the van, but due to an accident on the I95 it wasn't able to pick us up on time. Wild Lime immediately organized an Uber for us to make sure we didn't miss anything. Great service!!

Thanks again to Mike for a great day.

The best tour We modified our tour to include the winwood walls we had a charming and extremely knowledgeable guide, in Ryan. Can’t rave enough about him. He tour of little Havana and the lunch was very good and personal! Loved every minute!

Great Day Trip - Everglades Not surprise Wild Lime get such good reviews. Our day trip was amazing. Lindsay was our guide and she was both very knowledgeable but also very friendly. We loved the day - especially meeting the dolphins. We would highly recommend these guys.

Great day out! This was an amazing day - super well organised with fantastic knowledgable guides - I learned so much about plants and animals and the topography, all in a fun and informative way. I particularly enjoyed the walk where we really had time to look at and learn about the different areas of growth and the animals that were found.

Awesome way to experience the Everglades Absolutely AWESOME trip. Zac was an amazing guide and extremely knowledgeable and good fun.

Highlight of the day had to be the Dolphins playing, following the boat on the edge of Chocoloskee Bay / Gulf of Mexico, followed by the wet walk.

A long day, 7.00am pick-up and 6.45pm drop-off but well worth-it.

Everglades all-inclusive A great full-day tour starting at 7:30 am from outside our downtown Miami hotel and back around 6:30 pm.

Our guide Ryan did a very good job of informing about Everglades habitats and the wildlife we saw or could see along the way. Also good information about the history of Florida.

The airboat tour on the wetlands, the powerboat tour among the Ten Thousand Islands and the dry-walk into the cypress tree grove were all great

All in all - highly recommendable!

Amazing wildlife and learning at Everglades and Big Cypress! Truly spectacular eco-tour! Zac is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, ecosystems, and the history of the region including histories of local Native American populations and their interactions with ecosystems. We were spellbound by his storytelling and in-depth multifaceted knowledge of the local environment. We saw many, many alligators, various species of lizards, snakes, turtles, and fish (including endangered sawfish at one point)!

Great egrets, snow egrets, ibises, wood storks, black vultures, turkey vultures, and even the elusive roseate spoonbill! We also saw bottlenose dolphins, and at one point they were “surfing” for minutes on end in the wake of our tour boat - very surreal experience. Even growing up in Australia trying to photograph animals all the time, I don’t think I had ever seen so much interesting wildlife in one day. Also, Ryan drove our group part of the way there in the morning, and he is also super knowledgeable and got us excited and armed with knowledge for the day ahead. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting southern Florida! read less

Don't miss this! Wonderful tour! Our guide was super knowledgeable about the birds, plants, and animals we encountered. Our first airboat ride was great, too! This was a great experience I would recommend to anyone wanting to experience the Everglades.

A super day to treasure for all the family!! Everything was so so cool!!
A very nice and experienced guide, that knew a lot about everything. A memory-treasure to keep in the heart forever❤️
We all enjoyed this, adults, teens and a five year old
Thank you!!

A wonderful tour It was a fantastic tour day. Impressed from the naturalist Zac's professional introduction. Highly recommended for visitors who want to explore Everglade National Park. You will learn diverse names of plants, birds, and trees. And how they support each other in the ecosystem. We saw alligators, 6 dolphins. A wonderful trip. Will bring my kids to visit it again.

Inspirational Experience This was a wonderful way to spend a day. I was amazed at the variety of wildlife and habitats on view in the Everglades, so close to Miami. The absolute highlight was our naturalist guide, Zac. He was deeply knowledgeable, a gifted communicator, and made the day great fun and truly educational. Thank you Zac and Wild Lime Adventures.

Fun tour! Ryan was a great host! We really enjoyed hearing more about the history of the area. The stop at the Native American island for fry bread was nice. Overall a really good experience.

Unforgettable Loved the full day tour (dry walk) lead by Zac. Awesome chance to explore most of the Everglade ecosystems with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Just do it - you won’t regret it

A Must-Do Tour of South Florida First interaction with the Wild Lime adventures was with Ben. He called a few days before the booking date to give heads up that there’s a possibility the group tour may not meet the minimum number to proceed. I called back a couple days before and he confirmed that it has been filled but wanted us to have enough time to know alternative options available so as not to disrupt our vacation plans too much. I thought that was great... read moreFirst interaction with the Wild Lime adventures was with Ben. He called a few days before the booking date to give heads up that there’s a possibility the group tour may not meet the minimum number to proceed. I called back a couple days before and he confirmed that it has been filled but wanted us to have enough time to know alternative options available so as not to disrupt our vacation plans too much. I thought that was great “under promise, over deliver” customer service. A day before, as promised, we got the text with instructions where to meet. Note: not all hotel locations can be accommodated by pick up service. If you book through Viator on TripAdvisor, you just need to make arrangements to drive to the meeting place if your hotel is not on their itinerary for pick up locations. No credit or discount is possible. I like booking through TripAdvisor as they have trustworthy connections on their app. So I accept this consequence and it seemed reasonable. The next part of our experience is meeting our tour guide, Ryan. He is a local Floridian, born and raised. Has a keen interest in nature, particularly Botany. He has a clear passion for his work and the ecosystem of South Florida. His sincere love of sharing this passion is infectious. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, clearly a people-person and was such a delight. He was honest about hiccups and delays and gives off good vibes that no matter what, we will have fun! So refreshing! The third part of our experience is the food. Lunch was super enjoyable, tasty and just enough for us (not super large portions). We ate at the base of the iconic Smallwood Store Museum on Chokoloskee island. It has a beautiful view of the open water and located right where we get on the boat ride to see the thousand islands. The fourth part of our experience was the tour of the saw grass via airboat ride, the boat ride of the thousand islands and the hiking tour of the Big Cypress Preserve by our very own tour guide. In the boat ride, we saw birds, mangroves, and dolphins swimming in our wake, and a bit of history from our captain who happens to be the great grandson of one of Smallwood, the original owner of the Store/museum, He was a local resident in one of the small islands before his home burned down. Back in the day (1800’s) it was where the the teacher would travel to 3 months out of the year so children who lived in the islands can learn. Our airboat captain in the saw grass airboat ride (north of hwy 41 near the Miccosukee General Store) is another local. He was cool too. He knew the alligators, their approximate ages, favorite resting area etc. we saw a spectacled cayman- much smaller than American alligator, Osprey and bunch of other birds. Amazing experience with local and native residents showing us their land and giving us history coming from their perspective. A full day adventure in a comfortable big van, good food, great tours and friendly knowledgeable tour guide and boat captains. 2 thumbs up! I highly recommend it! read less

Fantastic trip Amazing tour. We had a great time with our guide. Strongly recommend this tour. We met so many birds and alligators and the guide introduced them very well.

Great experience Our guide was informative and friendly. He knew a lot of information about a wide range of topics, all of which was interesting. You could see his passion as both a naturalist and native Floridian. The van felt a little crowded at times, but all in all, no complaints- it was a great experience.

awesome experience This was the best tour ive done in awhile, Mike was an amazon tour leader and and i will recommend this to anybody i know, thank You so much for making my time here awesome

Full day Everglades Our tour guide was Zac. He was awesome and was perfect for our experience. He gave us perfect info..

Full Day Everglades Tour I booked this tour as I was assured by Ben that my wife's special travel needs (she walks with a cane and uses an Inogen portable oxygen device) could be met, and to add to our bucket list of visiting as many National Parks as we could.

The tour was on December 11, 2022, following a Panama Canal cruise. Our tour guide was Zac, who is 10-star. He's a walking encyclopedia of knowledge of the area flora, fauna and history, related with enthusiasm and made interesting. Importantly, he graciously accommodated my wife's special travel needs, and she was able to participate in all aspects of the tour comfortably, without inconveniencing the others in the tour group. Zac even made an unscheduled stop a very short distance off the highway on the way back, at our request, to for a photo op with the Everglades NP entrance sign, to add to our list of similar ones, which all of the others in the group did as well. On the 10,000 Islands boat trip, Captain Aaron, at our request (to fill another bucket list item), successfully located a mother dolphin and her baby, in open water. He maneuvered the boat so they could willingly follow us in its wake, where they entertained us for several minutes. Aaron had previously spotted a dolphin in a shallow bay, but stayed away from it because it was feeding, and out of respect for that, he didn't want to disturb it, which we totally agreed with. That was unlike another tour boat in the area, who disregarded that philosophy and drove his boat right up to the dolphin and disrupted its feeding. Lunch at the Smallwood Store was also very good. We were picked up precisely on time at our hotel in Miami Downtown Brickell and dropped off only a few minutes after the scheduled time (our fault because of the photo op request). Great tour, and kudos to Ben for the itinerary and his staff. We highly recommend Wild Lime Adventures. read less

Well work the investment of time and money for priceless memories and helpful education of nature We signed up for a full day of activities on Dec. 15, 2022, and we were picked up by our two guides, Stacy and Elijah. From the very start to the very end, they were courteous, friendly, and very good at explaining helpful details and the background history of each stop we made.

From the very start to the very end, they were courteous, friendly, and very good at explaining helpful details and the background history of each stop we made.
We started the day and worked East to West, with a Miccosukee Indian, Elvis, taking our small group of 6 guests on an air boat across the Everglades NP grasslands to a historic Indian island. There we meet "Mother," an alligator of 65+ years of age who allowed Elvis to open her jaw, rub her belly, and others of us to 'touch' the calm and friendly alligator. The temperature was perfect in the mid-70s as we whisked across the grass and water.

We visited the Oasis welcome center of the Big Cypress national preserve, where a plethora of different bird species, fish, and lots of black alligators enjoyed the weather. It was very interesting to understand the different topologies and historical references in the different areas we visited.

Another exciting time with a fast, small boat that left Smallwood Store in Everglades city for a tour of the 10,000 islands area. We saw a dolphin, the mangrove tree-covered islands, and the islands but just from shells from a thousand years of civilization.

Bravo to Stacy and her son, Elijah would both contributed to a memorable day for my wife and I read less

Fantastic half day adventure We absolutely loved our time on this tour. Zach, our guide, was so knowledgeable and funny. He clearly knew the Everglades very well and answered all our questions.

Awesome experience We spent the day with Stacy and she was incredible. Knowledgeable, sincere, and fun! We also got to meet Elvis driving the air boat, and was a trip. His ability to spot wildlife(gators) was next level stuff. Hotel pick up easy and on time. Highly recommend this trip!

Cadillac of Everglades Tours! This tour is Cadillac of all Everglades tours I researched and heard about and experienced first hand.

Booking, communication, pickup, the Limos, tour guide, content of the tour, exclusive interactions, indigenous people habitat / island, snack, drinks and can you believe even big sprays, ponchos.. wow the tour operators did meticulous planning and execution with surgical precision.

Great tour We had a great trip. The Big Cypress nature walk, the boat ride through the islands and the air boat ride were all excellent but the best part was our guide, Zack, who was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. His ability to spot animals and plants was outstanding, We highly recommend this tour

Hands down, WILD LIME is the BEST!! There are a lot of options when visiting Florida, Everglades National Park, & its surrounding natural wonders. This visit, Wild Lime Adventures delivered the best experience ever! We booked their Part Day tour, that featured an air boat ride and nature walk. Both of these greatly exceeded expectations, due mostly to their amazing naturalists, (Lindsay & Zac). Passionate, PHD expertise, & real-world backgrounds. They are both deserving of the highest praise.

Both of these greatly exceeded expectations, due mostly to their amazing naturalists, (Lindsay & Zac). Passionate, PHD expertise, & real-world backgrounds. They are both deserving of the highest praise.

Air Boat Ride w/ Lindsay: This occurred on the Miccosukee Reservation, a more lush and vibrant eco-system than the other air boats I have taken before. We stopped at the island with re-created native structures, and a loop walk. Very informative as to native life. Our boat driver found some gators, a small caiman, and magnificent birds in flight. These air boats seat you up higher than most, allowing for better photos. They also have serious horse-power. (Hearing protection provided). The rainy morning gave way to gorgeous blue sky during this tour. The part day tour group then transferred to another naturalist for the walk. Now just three in our group, Kudos to Wild Lime for allowing this, as other outfits could have cancelled for not meeting some unspecified minimum. You obviously care about those who choose your company, thank you!

Guided Walk in The Everglades w/ Zac: This occurred on the “Shark Valley” section of the park. We walked the Bobcat Boardwalk, with Zac explaining various flora and fauna. He pointed out things you would easily miss. Going into great detail, having us smell leaves, then giving us a wealth of information as to how the native people utilized what nature provided. On the main road, he described all of the birds, his specialty. Spotting a gator, we took more photos as the Tram whisked by with its pre-recorded spiel, unaware. This is why you need a guide, and we had the best! It wasn’t too long a walk for us old folks, then we headed back to the visitor center before the long ride home.

They give you a souvenir water bottle to fill with chilled water, and lots to snack on. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Fort Lauderdale. This allowed us plenty of time to have lively conversations with both Lindsay, then Zac. We really enjoyed getting to know more about them. They really love doing this, props to Wild Lime for hiring the “cream of the crop.”

Wild Lime Adventures has one of the best websites. Lots of info, easy to navigate, colorful, with lots of stunning photography to inspire. They offer plenty of different tours, something for everyone. You can spend less, then regret it all the way home. Wild Lime Adventures is so worth the difference. I can’t wait to visit Florida again so I can book another tour with them. Hands down, the Best!

Great lunch on the beach, lots of snacks & water throughout the day. If you have a day to spend, this is definitely the tour you should take. I highly recommend you avoid the cheesy touristy places & spend a day with passionate people who love The Everglades & want to share some of it with you. Ryan was so knowledgeable on so many subjects, he was truly delightful!! I’m sure the other guides are good too, but our group was glad we got to spend the day with him! read less

Best Everglades tour ever We’ve seen both alligators and one baby crocodile during the trip. Even when no alligator was spotted in the walking tour, the illustrations from our guide Ray and his discovery of many other species including a brown snake made the trip wonderful!

Amazing Trip It was an amazing trip. Our guide Zac was very kind, a good animal spotter and had impressive knowledge about the animals and plants.
We have seen a lot and had much fun!

Would highly recommend them and look forward to another trip with them in the future. They definitely cater to whatever you want to do and what you have time for. The Keys will be our next trip with them. read less

Learned so much!! Very knowledgeable biologist (Stacey) was our guide for the day and she was amazing. We learned so many amazing facts. We covered the entire southern part of Florida.

A great educational experience Zach was an incredible tour guide! He picked us up from our hotel right on time and, throughout the entire tour, proactively sought opportunities to educate us about the surrounding flora and fauna. He has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of birds in particular—his passion really shone through and was contagious. Definitely recommend taking this tour!

Wonderful Experience and Tour!! What a wonderful experience! Our guides, Ryan and Zach were knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining. I learned so much from them about Florida, the "Glades", and the Seminoles and Miccosukee Native Americans. Awesome!

Everglades Airboat and Animals The visit is very interesting thanks to passionate guides.
We were able to see and observe several animals.
And the ride with the Airboat was a very pleasant experience in a wonderful location.
I would definitely recommend.

Do it right - book with them as the real naturalists Awesome experience. Great communication. Brian was a very knowledgable guide - if you’re into nature it’s worth going with a naturalist (not a naturist as autocorrect keeps trying to say!)

Awesome tour! This was an excellent tour and a great opportunity to explore South Florida! Ryan is a knowledgeable guide that made the trip entertaining as well as educational. The airboat ride over the grasslands is an experience not to be missed.

Best Everglades tour! As a local that have tried many different companies to tour the everglades I can assure you this is the best!!! you can't get any closer to nature than with Wild Lime Adventures. You will learn everything there is to learn about the Everglades by the hand of their professional ecologists and you will get the best Air boat tour there is. Elvis was amazing! he really is one with the Everglades.

Ryan is great Loved that we didn’t have to drive. Van was very nice. Saw most of the Everglade environments. Our tour guide Ryan was a lot of fun and knowledgeable. Saw young and adult dolphins, alligators.

A wonderfully enjoyable and educational tour We looked at lots of possible options for an Everglades tour with a pickup from Miami Beach, and we’re so glad we chose to go with Wild Lime Adventures.

Enjoyable Trip w/ A Great Guide My family and I had a great time on this day trip. Lindsay was our guide and did a phenomenal job of answering all our questions and showing us everything the Everglades had to offer. The motorboat and airboat tour were also great as we got to see a variety of wildlife including alligators, dolphins, and several different birds. Overall it was a very enjoyable day.

Great way to experience the Florida Everglades! What a wonderful outing we had with Wild Lime Adventures! The day was so well organized. Our tour guide was Ryan. He was knowledgeable and funny! The boat captains, Elvis and Corey, for our two boat expeditions, were both knowledgeable and respectful of the environment. We saw alligators, pelicans, dolphins, and manatees!
Can’t thank Wild Lime enough for a great day!

Highly recommended Awesome tour. We saw baby gators and the airboat ride was quite memorable! Ryan was an excellent guide, and I learned a lot about Everglades plants and wildlife.

Fun and educational day Great experience! Ryan, our guide was super knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. The airport ride was awesome, we saw many alligators very close up. It was so fun to see them in their natural habit. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Experience What an amazing experience! Our guide Ryan is very knowledgeable of the rich history of this area. I would definitely do this again!

Full Service Outstanding Tour! Full service experience! Everything from hotel pickup to drop off was included. That includes sunscreen, insect repellent, drinks, snacks, admission to the park and a great tour! I highly recommend this tour. Ben and Ryan were courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and great hosts. I highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic experience Fabulous Everglades tour with Ben, who was knowledgeable and engaging. Our kids loved it and enjoyed hearing all about the wildlife and seeing gators and turtles etc. thoroughly recommend!

Awesome Everglades experience On time pickup which is always a great start. Stacey introduced us to the group and was knowledgeable, informative and engaging. We had plenty of restroom stops where Stacey answered all questions about flora/fauna. Weather hampered the end of the day but no complaints. Would highly recommend!

Excellent The tour was really good. We saw a range of different wonderful animals and it was lovely to be out in the nature. All the guides were extremely knowledgable and friendly.

Fantastic day out from Miami This was a fantastic day out. Ben the guide was knowledgeable and attentive. The hotel pick up worked smoothly and he was happy to drop us at the ball park at the end of the day. We loved all parts of the trip: the airboat ride, the cruise out to the islands, and the nature walk. And lunch was really good also! Highly recommended if you’re in Miami for a holiday.

This year we chose Wild Lime Adventures to plan and lead our tour to the Everglades and Dry Tortugas. We chose right. Ben, the owner, was very responsive as we communicated back and forth about what we were looking for. Our trip was a Wed-Mon with four full days of adventure planned.

Our guides were Lindsay and Darren. They were full service. They picked us up at the airport and stayed with us the entire tour. They each have degrees in the science and are extremely knowledgeable about the vegetation, wildlife, and parks. We had 11 people on each van and had room for our luggage. ( 1 suitcase and backpack each).

Day one: Everything Everglades. A wet walk through a cypress dome, a 90 boat ride through the 10,000 islands mangrove forest.

Day two: drive to key west. Along the way we stopped at the Wild Bird Sanctuary, Robbie’s fish camp, and Bahia Honda State park. Once we arrived in Key West we visited the Ernest Hemingway house, the African Slave Memorial and the Southernmost Point.

Day three: Dry Tortugas National Park. This is a full day experience that you should hands down try if you ever have the opportunity. The snorkeling is unreal. The water was so clear!

Day four: we drove back to Fort Lauderdale. We had a kayak tour through mangrove channels and did a 1 hour snorkeling tour of Hens and Chickens reef. The snorkeling was out of this world! The fish and coral we saw was absolutely incredible. The kayak adventure was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable as well.

Day five: Airboat ride through Everglades sawgrass. We met “Gar” the gator and saw a lot of wildlife.

Our meals were planned at local favorites. If you are ever in Florida City/Homestead please go visit Fonda Familiar Mexican. We also ate at City Hall Bistro. In Key West we ate at El Siboney and Dante’s.

Our all inclusive experience with Wild Lime was top notch! You won’t be worry. Lindsay was my van driver and I cannot compliment her enough. She was professional, fun and informative!!! Our students had the trip of a lifetime. Darren, the driver of the other van, was kind, calm and so helpful. He always put our needs first.

Six Day Trip with 22 teenagers! I wish I could give this company ten stars! Lindsey, Darren and Ben from Wild Lime organized a flawless six day trip with 22 8th graders and 4 chaperones.

Lindsey and Darren were so knowledgeable and patient and were able to keep the students and chaperones happy the entire time. If you are looking for a company to handle all your south Florida eco tour needs, look no further! Ben (the owner) ensured everything was taken care of from start to finish. I encourage schools to take advantage of letting Wild Lime handle a multi-day trip…you will not be sorry! read less

Wild Lime Adventure Wow. I can’t even put into words how amazing our experience was. I came here on a school trip with 26 people, and this tour service made my trip! First of all, the service. The service at Wild Lime is impeccable, our tour guides Lindsay and Darren were the epitome of first class service.

The service at Wild Lime is impeccable, our tour guides Lindsay and Darren were the epitome of first class service. They drove our large group from place to place, kept us safe, and were an absolute joy to be around. Our large group was split in half, and I had Lindsay. Lindsay was one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met, and she was so much fun to be around! The whole trip was so well organized, and we always had time for bathroom breaks, food, and fun! We started our trip with touring the Everglades, and took part in a wet walk. We also visited the beach, state parks, the Hemingway house, took a ferry to Dry Tortugas, snorkeled, kayaked, and did so much more. We got so close with our guides during this trip, and the carpool karaoke sessions were amazing! This trip was one of the best experiences of my life, and Darren and Lindsay helped that! We always felt like a family, and have so many inside jokes already. Wild Lime tour service is something I would recommend from the bottom of my heart, and you would be so lucky to experience the fun! read less

Even Dawgs Like Gators Lindsay and Darren were incredibly organized and knowledgeable guides who catered all excursions to our group’s interests. They handled every detail and were very personable and engaging. They were the best and a large part of what made the trip so awesome.

Best Trip Ever! What a week! Wild Lime Adventures was not just a tour it was an experience! Wild Lime Adventures had selected 2 guides Lindsey and Darren who not only made it fun, but showed us the history, and life found in Florida!

Great way to explore the Everglades This is a very fun way to explore the Everglades. We drove to the meeting point ourselves, but they also provide a pickup service from your hotel!
The walk was easy and there was so much to see! Our guide Darren was very knowledgeable and passionate about nature and its preservation.

Must do trip to the Everglades What a fantastic day. Informative and so much fun.
Early start pickup (we grabbed a quick breakfast first), we headed off out of Miami along the Tamiami to our first stop which was an airboat ride across the glades watching gators and various local bird species. We got really close to the gators and learned a little about the Miccosukee and Seminole tribes. Our next big stop was at Chololoskee island for a boat trip out into the mangroves.

Our guide Darren was fantastic. We were tired at the end of the trip but we’ll worth it. Strongly recommend. read less

Mr What a phenomenal day out. It wasn't the cheapest tour but it was worth every cent. Guide was knowledgeable and super freindly, lunch stop was great, and all the events were memorable. I got within 2 foot of a gator, and had the most amazing experience with a family of dolphins that raced behind our boat, that was magical. I learnt so much. Honestly this is the best day out I've had in the US.

Great experience! Great experience! Stacy was our guide. She was great from picking us up from the hotel to dropping us off at the airport. The connections they have with local operators who know the area for generations is unparalleled.
Highly recommend!

Highly recommended Everglades Tour What a fabulous day from start to finish! The pre-excursion experience was great, easy booking on Tripadvisor and early contact from Ben to confirm pick up location and clarify available food options. The pick up arrived exactly on time and the minibus was nicely air conditioned. The branded water bottles and chilled water, soft drinks and snacks were a nice touch.

The pick up arrived exactly on time and the minibus was nicely air conditioned. The branded water bottles and chilled water, soft drinks and snacks were a nice touch.

From the first stop we were able to see plenty of alligators in the wild, and this theme continued from crickets to squirrels. There were plenty of stops and mini excursions on the itinerary which made the day fly in.

The highlight was the cruise with Erin (?) a really interesting local captain who’s excellent navigation meant we got to see Roseate Spoonbills up-close and were literally trailed by two dolphins for about five minutes.

Darren, our driver and guide was exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable and patient, despite the heat and all the groups questions. I would definitely recommend this to anyone staying in Miami. read less

Hundreds of birds Great half day trip and guide through the Everglades. We saw herons, turtles, gators, and a huge cluster of spoonbills, storks, and egrets. This was our 3rd tour of the Everglades and Wild Lime was definitely the best experience ever.

They are the best Best I found for this type of trip—best experience for exploring the area, period. Pick-up and drop-off to your hotel/airbnb are awesome, and all the service they provide is amazing. Def recommended to anyone who wanna go to the area. I usually don't write a comment, so this also indicates how nice this is that I'm willing to comment on it.

Great experience Lindsey was a wonderful guide. Got to see wild dolphins and alligators in their natural habitat. Thanks

Wonderful day trip! It was a wonderful excursion to the Everglades. Total time investment was about six hours. The guide was a wildlife biologist and very knowledgeable. The trip was very well organized with breaks for bathroom and snacks. There is about an hour of walking on wooden walkways and pavement. If you have trouble walking, that section of the trip is not for you. The airboat ride was especially beautiful.

One awesome day in the Everglades! Awesome trip with a very knowledgeable naturalist, Darren. I thought the all day trip would be too much time in the sun, but turned out to be perfect. Two different boat rides in two completely different environments really gave my family an understanding and appreciation of the Everglades. If you want to see gators this is the trip to book!

Awesome Amazing experience are tour guide was amazing with a good sense of humor. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have fun. The tour guide was Lindsay. Also shout out to are airboat driver he was awesome. Don't remember his name but he was a big guy with gold grill

An Everglades Experience It’s amazing when you can LEARN and BE ENTERTAINED at the same time. Darren did a great job giving us lots of info without overwhelming us with facts. His passion for protecting the land and its environs, along with wildlife, made him a good ambassador for this tour. We also loved the airboat ride. The captain was good about letting us take photos when wildlife was sighted.

This well-rounded experience is worth the cost! A fantastic experience. For us a perfect balance of nature, water, interesting and educational information, thrills…and a nice lunch! Our guide Stacey was wonderful--knowledgeable, great at explaining things to us at our level, attentive to the needs and questions of everybody. Felt like having a friend as a traveling partner.
I hope the guides are compensated well, because I noticed that not everyone tips well.
Our TripAdvisor events have been consistently good. Thank you!

Book this tour over the more commercialized ones… This was great! I am obsessed with seeing animals in their natural habitats as much as possible so this tour fits the bill. I thought the full day tour was absolutely worthwhile. We saw many alligators, various bird species, snakes, sawfish, dolphins and more and learned a bit about all of them.

We saw many alligators, various bird species, snakes, sawfish, dolphins and more and learned a bit about all of them. My only bit of feedback is that I would have liked a little more patience and time in viewing the animals when we found them (e.g. just letting the boat coast a little when viewing the dolphins instead of reviving it faster immediately to see them jump by the boat, or stalling out and being silent in one place for a while in the airboat when we came across gators instead of rushing to the next thing). Then again, I could watch animals in their natural habitats in silence for hours and be happy as a clam so maybe others prefer the quicker pace. In no way does this decrease my rating for this company and would definitely go with them again. read less

Excellent customer service when we had to cancel My family of 6 was so excited to go on our first Everglades airboat tour. We were traveling from Nebraska over spring break for a week in the Hollywood, Florida area. I chose Wild Lime Adventures based on their website description and trip advisor reviews.

They love nature!1 When I came to Florida I wanted to experience the diverse ecosystem the state has to offer, but I was concerned about how these tour companies treat nature and wildlife. Wild Lime Adventures cares about nature and respects the wildlife all while showing you everything. No archaic alligator wrestling here, they frown upon it as they should. The guide was super helpful making sure everyone was happy and had what they needed. Would highly recommend for all age groups.

Trip was excellent!! It’s a must do. Trip was amazing!! Highly recommend. Enjoyed every minute of it. Our guides were so knowledgeable and ent

Everglades Had a great time. Guide was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. The trip exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend this trip t

Amazing Nature Tour Ben did an excellent job. He kept us informed of changes, was super friendly and gave a great tour. We were the first on and last off and he was engaged throughout. Fabian was our airboat guide and I was enthralled at his respect and love of the animals. Couldn’t have asked for more. I chose this tour over the other to see the Everglades and their inhabitants and “naturally” as possible. Did not disappoint

Great overview of the Everglades. The experiences are varied and you get to see wild Alligators up close as well as dolphins. The nature hike was hot but even that was worth it with the some of the swampland features. Lunch and transportation w

Fantastic tour experience !!! Absolutely the highlight of our mini getaway! Ben is without a doubt, the best tour guide you could ask for. We saw so many alligators and so much other wildlife - birds, turtles, even an otter crossing our path! Ben is so knowledgeable and made the entire experience unforgettable. My husband and I will definitely come back for another tour, next time we are in Florida.

The perfect way to spend 1/2 day in the Everglades/Big Cypress NP. This was the perfect way to do a short 1/2 day trip that included a 1-Hour Air Boat Ride and Nature Walk with Ben, a Naturalist, in Everglades National Park. We’d been to the park before and done the tram ride but the nature walk with Ben was so much more detailed and informative about the park, the eco-system, plants/trees, and all the animals we encountered.

Fantastic part day tour We chose Wild Lime because of their Google reviews. They did not disappoint. Our guide for the part day tour, Mike, was knowledgeable, informative and friendly.

Fantastic intro to the Everglades We had a fantastic day with Ben and Mike. All the logistics from pick to drop were brilliant, including navigating our trip around a sea food festival! Lot of information on the eco systems and lots of fun. Both boat trips were great, simple but very good lunch and a great walk along boardwalk. Definitely converted us to the beauty of the area and has made us want to come back. Would definitely recommend the whole day trip.

Wild Limes partners with the Miccosukee tribe for the air boat portion of the tour. Seeing the wildlife, especially alligators, on their land was remarkable. The only thing I would suggest is that the management change the paperwork regarding covid precautions they are taking. The company wasn't still doing all of what they said they were. For example, our confirmation said groups were being limited to only six people, but we were put on a van filled to capacity that held about 15 people. They did require masks on the van though. read less

We really felt that we got our money's worth and would definitely recommend Wild Lime Adventures!

Full Day Everglades with Wet Walk we had an amazing day in the Everglades and Big Cypress with Stacey. Her knowledge of the flora and fauna, enthusiasm and love of the area- all were infectious. We saw alligators, dolphins, egrets, roseate spoonbills, anhingas, and wood storks. We are so glad we took the time to explore this most beautiful part of our country. So close to Miami,yet a world away. Don't miss your opportunity to do this day trip if you are in the area.

The tour had several showstopping highlights including the wonderfully informative dry hike (on a boardwalk so tennis/walking shoes are ok), stops at visitor centers, a historic trading post, and regular boat ride and swamp boat ride towards the end with awesome mirror like sky views on the swamp. Lindsey has an otherworldly ability to spot wildlife which led to some freaking awesome pictures. The tour itself was well planned for comfort, food (the restaurant was great!) snacks, hydration, ear protection, sunscreen, air conditioning when needed.... etc. Lindsey was energetic, witty and so informative (and truly an asset to Wild Lime Tours if I might add.) My husband and I highly recommend this tour! read less

Great Tour of the Everglades Even If You Are Not Visiting the Park for the Frist time My wife and I took this tour and we had a wonderful time. We had visited the park twice before (it is one of our favorite national parks) but our excellent guide Ben made the experience new and enriching. He clearly communicates his love for the park and he has a great sense of humor. We can not recommend this tour enough!

Everglades Wonderful educational tour with a wonderful guide. Darren was knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend if you are visiting Southern

Wild Lime Adventures is GREAT! Lindsay did a wonderful job of leading us on a nature walk at Shark Valley. She was knowledgeable and fun. The weather forced us to swap a full day tour for a half-day tour. Ben was very accommodating and so courteous about our circumstances. Then, I left my hat on the van and they made arrangements to drop it at a hotel near me so I could pick it up. 5 stars all the way around!

Captain Zach was impressive, behind his mild mannered Louisiana drawl was a young man with great respect for all the animals and they for him. Even the huge alligator, he has befriended, allowed us to take great photos which otherwise would have been impossible. In summary, our tour was excellent and Lindsay rocked it out in style. read less

Florida trip from London Oh my god, Lindsay is possibly the funniest person I’ve ever met in my life. She had me crying with laughter all day. It was just so much fun. Really enjoyed this trip which was very informative. Lindsay knew everything about the wildlife and plants which really made the trip. Thanks for a great time Omar

A great family morning We had a lovely morning with Wild Lime adventures on a hike through Shark Valley and an airboat tour through the Miccosukee lands in the Everglades. Ben was very helpful and accommodating with trip planning and making last minute changes to accommodate my family. First we had a walk with Ben through Shark Valley.

Ben was very helpful and accommodating with trip planning and making last minute changes to accommodate my family. First we had a walk with Ben through Shark Valley. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned from Ben, because I have actually been to Shark Valley many times before. I appreciated learning more about birds and alligators and that he was careful to point out the native history of the area. Then we went down the street to the airboat tour. He partners with the Miccosukee guide to take us and he narrates along the way. I was surprised that we stopped at a small village way out on a mangrove island. It was absolutely beautiful. He very thoughtfully provided us water, snacks, and ear protection for the airboat ride. I have a new love and appreciation of this area and I will definitely be back. read less

Fabulous Day What a great day! The tour is well organized, informative, and fun. The lunch was delicious as was the Fry Bread we stopped for during the air boat ride. Observed wonderful flora and fauna (and fish)--a great way to experience the best of Florida. So happy w

On the first day we started early and were driven down to the Keys to first go on a special snorkel tour alongside divers who were feeding nurse sharks. We the snorkellers got to watch and even stroke them ourselves at one point. We visited two sites and then head for lunch - fish tacos for me were great, though I could have eaten twice as much. In the afternoon we went kayaking - supposedly to find manatees - but we ended up going down mangrove tunnels which was a great experience as you had to dodge the mangroves and other kayakkers. The guide - Lindsey ​- was fun and perfect for the tour, helping people on the kayaks and diving down to the bottom to take pictures for me while snorkelling. The second day tour to the everglades was even better. First a 'wet walk' into a cypress dome. I had no idea what to expect as we trudged through water which got up to our thighs at one point, but suddenly the landscape became eerily beautiful, like no other. We saw plenty of wildlife too in the canals by the car park, loads of alligators. Then we went for lunch at a wonderful cuban restaurant which had a hearty vegan option for my wife too. We learnt a lot about Everglades city and the Mikosukee Indians from the excellent guide - Stacey . Next we went for a boat ride in the 10,000 islands park and finally an airboat ride which stopped at an Indian outpost where we sampled pumpkin fried bread - a must. The tour prices were quite high - $300 per person, and normally I would have booked all these things myself and driven from place to place, but this time I think we did the right thing in booking with Wildlime and letting them do all the hard work. Maybe we codl have saved a few dollars by booking the parts ourselves - we had a car after all - but every single experience was top notch, as were the guides, and their knowledge and experience meant that we just had to enjoy ourselves, which we did. Two great trips, loads of pictures and memories. Priceless. read less

Ben was a terrific and entertaining guide. He knew all our names and thoughtfully answered every question with intelligence and a sense of humor. We left learning much about the ecosystem of Florida and how it is dependent on the health of the Everglades. We saw stunning examples of wildlife at every turn, with Ben there to identify and talk about each one. As we drove past busloads/airboats jammed with tourists, we were very happy to be in a small group. Our airboat was guided by a local from the Miccosukee tribe, who talked about his experience growing up in the Everglades. For my next trip - and there will be one - I'll book Wild Lime Adventures. read less

Wow! What an opportunity! What an amazing way to experience the Everglades and Cypress! Lindsay rates up with the best tour guides we have ever used. She is quite knowledgeable about the ecosystem and the human history of the area. Both of our boat captains were amazing as well. We highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the Everglades!

Well-organized, informative tour! Highly recommended! Fantastic guides! The owner of the company was just great about communicating with us prior to the tour as we had to make some changes to our reservation, and then our tour guide was both friendly and knowledgeable.

If we had just gone into the Everglades Natl. Park on our own and walked the trail there, we wouldn't have known what we were looking at, but she pointed out several plants and explained how the Native Americans used them, gave us a bit of history, had us such on sawgrass for water to show us how one can get moisture when it's unsafe to drink the water, and spotted many birds and even some gators. We had fun and learned a lot. She also made sure we had ponchos and blankets for the wind on the airboat, had water, snacks, and sunscreen handy, and took some great photos of my husband and me that Key Lime promptly sent us the next day at no extra charge. In short, everything was beautifully organized. Highly recommend this company! read less

Great Day Tour through the Everglades Loved this tour! Such a beautiful place and so much wildlife. It was a cold day when we went, but we still saw a bunch of animals. Lots of birds, alligators, a turtle swimming on the airboat tour, dolphins, and more! Our tour guide was very informative, helpful and friendly. Definitely take this tour to get an all encompassing guide to the Everglades!

Ben, the owner, was extremely accommodating. After coming up with a date for the full day tour because of inclement weather, it was cancelled. Fortunately, Ben was able to book us for a ½ day tour. It gave us a taste of the Everglades. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Darren, our guide, provided us with the ideal balance of knowledge without being overwhelming and taking away from the delight of experiencing the environment. He shared the history of the Everglades and explained in very digestible terms the ecosystem. The Everglades is not only essential to the flora and fauna that live there, but life sustaining to all of Florida including human. The airboat portion of our tour was guided by a member of the Miccosukee tribe. We learned that the Miccosukee tribe once lived throughout the Everglades in chickees and how they sustained themselves. He introduced us to “Mama,” an alligator he had grown up with since his teenage years. This tour was one of the highlights of our stay in the Miami area. Thank you very much. read less

Wet walk was great! Our Guide Darren was excellent, interesting explanation of ecology of Everglades. Both boat rides

Don't Miss This Tour! Wonderful! Worth every dollar. We don't do tours and my husband was skeptical but this was such a great way to see the Everglades up close and personal. Terr

Great day in the Everglades Ben was a great guide and we had a awesome experience on both the nature walk and air boat ride. Definitely nice to get both experiences in one trip. His knowledge of the Everglades and his partnership with the Miccosukee Tribe was definitel

Amazing Everglades Adventure Amazing tour with Ben (owner) - knowledgeable, has a passion for wildlife, great teacher (held the full attention of our teenage boys) and went out of his way to accommodate our schedule. All expectations were exceeded. Would recommend them to anyone! The airboat tour and walk were the perfect combination. Would love to go back!

She did a fantastic job driving, educating us on the parks, and the tour was so well planned out. The Cuban lunch was unexpected and delicious! Thank you guys for an outstanding tour.

Besides the trip, I want to mention that the pickup is very well organized as well. Car is very clean, have water, drinks and some snacks prepared. The equipments looks in good condition and well sanitized as well. I would choose wild lime again for other activities if coming back to Miami. read less

Very fun and educational! Lindsey was informative and made it fun for our group! I had so much fun of the airboat ride and got to see quite a few alligators. On the nature walk we found a mama and baby alligator and then another one growled at us as we were leaving! He must have wanted us

Amazing Day! What a great all day adventure! Our guide Darren was knowledgeable and to be with. On the air boat ride we got to see an alligator eating a turtle! Crunch! The wet work was exciting and not as creepy as I thought it would be. Lunch was at a Cuban restaurant and then another boat ride in the 10,000 islands area. So many different eco systems. Lots of education and unforgettable experiences!

fun time in Everglades with Darren we loved our full day tour: wet hike & Everglades adventure led by an experienced naturalist (Darren). the highlight was Darren- an educated and enthusiastic biologist and we learned a lot, and enjoyed his company. first we admired all the egrets, cormorants and anhingas by the canal as we drove into the everglades, then the alligators! the wet hike in the cypress forest/swamp was totally different and wonderful. then we had a fun lunch at the Havana Cafe. we... read morewe loved our full day tour: wet hike & Everglades adventure led by an experienced naturalist (Darren). the highlight was Darren- an educated and enthusiastic biologist and we learned a lot, and enjoyed his company. first we admired all the egrets, cormorants and anhingas by the canal as we drove into the everglades, then the alligators! the wet hike in the cypress forest/swamp was totally different and wonderful. then we had a fun lunch at the Havana Cafe. we enjoyed captain cody on his narrated boat ride thru the Everglades, and also the air boat ride. these are people that have grown up in the Everglades and have a lot of experience there. all in all, I recommend this highly and would do another tour with Wild Lime (maybe the same tour in a different season, to see different things like blooming orchids). another plus: we had no insects!! read less

We opted for this tour as it was highly rated and seemed very up front on what to expect. It absolutely delivered on all levels and more! Our guide, Darren, was awesome! He was also very friendly and knowledgeable; due to some programs we had watched we had a lot of questions for him about local wildlife and he was able to discuss all of them intelligently. Once in the park he gave us the wildlife disclaimer, because wildlife usually doesn't show up when you ask it to. Seconds later we walked into an Alligator chilling next to the trail head. It just kept getting better from there! By the end of the nature walk, we really felt very lucky to have seen as much wildlife activity as we did! Of note: most of the walk is along a paved path that runs next to a natural channel. I saw some reviews frown at this, but i assure you that the wildlife in that channel is very wild, and you will appreciate the ease of travel versus the unpaved trails you will walk. Do not let that deter you, believe me! From there we went to the airboat ride on the Indian reservation. This was well thought out by the tour, including having vital hearing protection ready for us as these boats are LOUD!! I felt bad for the other people on the boat who were not a part of our tour as they did not have them. This was the portion of the trip which required masks (as seen in our photos) as this is an Indian reservation requirement. It was not an issue for us nor did it take away from the experience. The airboat ride was just the right length, and the tree island village was very nice. One of the best parts: they picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the day! We did not even have to drive anywhere for the tour, which was amazing!! All in all it was money very well spent. Highly highly recommend this tour for the information and context you will be provided on everything you will see in the park, and beyond. read less

Best thing we ever did! This was the highlight of our south Florida/keys trip. We did the wet walk all day tour. Thanks to Mike and Pat, we had an absolutely amazing experience and learned so much about the Everglades. Truly once in a lifetime experience. My kiddos absolutely loved walking through the muck, swamp and waist high water!

Excellent tour! Our full-day tour with Wild Lime was the highlight of our time in South Florida. The wet hike in the morning was incredible. Not strenuous or scary but immersive into the Everglades.

Lindsay was our extremely talented guide who shared her extensive knowledge about the wildlife and the ecosystem throughout the expeditions. Not only does she have a degree in wildlife science she really knows and is passionate about the environment and had so much to share. Lindsay made even the most complicated scientific concepts like water quality digestible to the entire group of folks with all different levels of understanding. On top of that, she was friendly, fun, and made sure everyone was safe and taken care of. There was plenty of water, sunscreen, snacks, and mask wearing while in the van so you are always cared for and protected! The food was yummy and prompt at a local restaurant as well. The tours themselves were fun and exciting. The boat captains really knew how to engage with the wildlife and find us rare sightings like sawfish and dolphins. A total 10/10!!!

Great Tour! Highly recommend! We had a great experience with Wild lime adventures. Lindsey was our tour guide. She was friendly and had our curiosity from the beginning of the trip. Her explanations were very informative. We also had a great boat tour guide, Gary, who shared his rich history with Everglades city. We saw a bunch of alligators, which was exciting. Would definitely recommend this tour to people who want to know more about Florida's everglades and big cypress.

Enjoyable Everglades tour. I had a fantastic Everglades tour with Darren. He was knowledgeable and worked very hard to make sure the entire group enjoyed their day. The experience was both enjoyable and educational. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the Everglades and learn a little bit about the wildlife and the ecosystem.

EVERGLADES ADVENTURE W/ WET HIKE LED BY AN EXPERIENCED NATURALISTOne of the best experiences I had in a very long time. It is beautiful and the tour guide is so knowledgeable and professional. The 10,000 island boat tour, was incredible with Dolphins all over playing around us. The airboat ride is unique and the wet walk, is something that everyone should do. So much nature!!! So beautiful!!!

My daughter and I had an amazing time. Ben and Darren where knowledgeable, professional and very friendly! We would definitely go back. The weather was perfect and flora and fauna was plentiful…beautiful birds, exotic plants, dolphins and alligators (even seeet little babies)! Totally worth it!

Amazing day What an amazing day! We started with the wet walk and what a different experience for us. This is something you could do on your own but we never would have done it because you need to know where the trails are and where to go.

This is something you could do on your own but we never would have done it because you need to know where the trails are and where to go. I also don't think you would learn as much going without a guide as the amount you learn about the vegetation and why/how the terrain changes is fascinating. After the wet walk is finished you then proceed on to the first boat ride. We zipped through the mangroves of the Everglades learning about the history of the area and seeing a lot of wildlife including some dolphins and sawfish. We were then on our way to lunch at a local restaurant in town and the food was excellent with a nice selection. One of the better lunches you could have on a full day tour. After that we went on to our airboat ride in the sea of grass. It was enjoyable and we went to an old Indian village. We also saw a lot of alligators ranging from babies to adults. I would be remiss not to mention our amazing guide Darren. The sheer amount of knowledge he provided on the history of the area, the ecology and the wildlife was fantastic. He really made the day come together and ensured it was a great experience. Can't recommend this tour enough if you want to get immersed into the Everglades and Big Cypress. It's a long day but well worth it!! read less
