#1 – Part Day: One Hour Air Boat Ride and Nature Walk with a Naturalist in Everglades National Park Tour

Come with us on a 1-hour air boat way out in the real Everglades! On this smaller air boat trip, we stop at one or two Native American tree island villages to learn about how the Miccosukee people survived in the Everglades. We are the only tour to provide this unique experience! Become immersed in their special customs and the authentic beauty of their remote way of life.
On this trip, we typically see large alligators, baby alligators, birds and other wildlife. This sometimes includes the critically endangered Everglades snail kite! On this exhilarating trip, you’ll find yourself mesmerized by the reflection of the white clouds on the water, way out, far from land in the middle of the “River of Grass.”
You will also go on a 1.5 hour nature walk led by our master naturalist in the Everglades National Park. This is one of the most iconic National Parks in the United States. We are one of just a few companies permitted to lead interpretive walking tours In ENP.
Visiting here is a bucket-list item!
On this walk, we know where the wildlife is, and we get to see it up close!
WE DO NOT GO TO PLACES WHERE THERE ARE ANIMALS IN CAGES AND PENS!
Guests learn about the natural flora and fauna, and better understand the critical role of water flow and quality in shaping the historic Everglades. We also learn about recent conservation efforts.
Enjoy a 25 minute narrated scenic drive provided by the master naturalist. There is also 30-45 minutes to explore on one’s own too, including a stop in at the Visitors Center.

Wild Lime provided a first rate tour experience. They were sincerely interested in their customers, and the backgrounds and experiences of both made available a wealth of information about the Everglades, the surrounding area, and the history. The nature walk was the best nature tour we have ever taken! A variety of alligators, birds, fish, and turtles were observed, and they had interesting information on all of the wildlife. The air boat tour was exceptional as well, and I would strongly recommend this experience.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Parties of 5 or more – Must cancel 7 days in advance of a tour for a refund.

No refunds will be issued if not providing the required advanced notice.

Policy:

Wild Lime Adventures is the sole decider if a tour should be conducted or canceled, based upon any reason, including but not limited to concerns about the weather. No guest or participant or any other person not in the management of WLA shall decide if a tour needs to be cancelled.

Weather:

Florida is sometimes called "the sunshine state." While South Florida has its share of sun, rain is also often a frequent reality of daily life here in this subtropical region. Many times, the rain will come in and then move out, with the sun soon to follow. We at Wild Lime are accustomed to all kinds of weather and have our ways of conducting the tour in and out of the raindrops in a safe and responsible manner.

Refunds and Rainchecks:

If Wild Lime Adventures determines that an overall tour should be canceled in advance of the start of a tour for weather or for any other reason, WLA will refund all participants in full (or provide a raincheck or an alternative date for those who prefer that instead of the refund).

Weather is certainly beyond anyone's control. Once a tour begins, Wild Lime reserves the right to cancel any part(s) of the overall tour due to its own determination regarding the safe and reasonably comfortable execution of the activity. In such a situation where any part(s) of the tour needs to be cancelled, Wild Lime may look for replacement or alternative activities if WLA deems it is possible. No refund or voucher or gift certificate may be provided if a replacement part of the tour is provided. However, if part(s) of a tour is cancelled and there is no alternate activity provided, Wild Lime may provide each guest with a gift certificate voucher to be used for a future tour. This voucher is transferable with expiration 18 months from the date of the original tour. Wild Lime Adventures will not provide a refund of any kind for a canceled part of a tour. There are terms and conditions printed on the gift certificate that need to be followed.

Any person who does not show up for a tour or who cancels without providing the required advance notice listed above will not be provided with any refund, raincheck or gift certificate.

Wild Lime Adventures, Inc. reserves the right to decide to cancel a tour for any of the following reasons, but not limited to: road closures, poor weather, tropical weather systems, fires, high or low water levels, or any other reason that WLA determines could interfere with the normal, comfortable or safe operation of the tour. WLA maintains the right to provide alternate activities or locations as replacements for parts of tour for any reason it deems necessary. If such alterations to a tour take place, WLA is not responsible to provide any full or partial refund to the participants or to anyone who paid for the tour. It is solely up to WLA to make these cancellation or tour alteration decisions, including before the tour, on the day of the tour, or during a tour. WLA is not responsible for any partner or vendor in the field that closes its operations or denies entry to WLA or visitors in general. WLA is not responsible for issuing any full or partial refund as a result of such decisions by its partners, third-parties, or vendors. Guests, customers, and participants do not have the right to determine if a tour needs to be cancelled. A customer or participant does not have right to request a refund if he or she cancels a tour after the cutoff deadlines for requesting a refund provided above. In the case of its decision for complete tour cancellation, WLA will provide a full refund to each participant or offer an alternate date for conducting the tour, depending on availability, for those guests who prefer such an option.
