Just One Recent Review:

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.

Overview:

This tour begins with pickup from your Ft. Lauderdale or Miami area hotel, port or other location. With an expert naturalist guide, go on an amazing nature walk in Everglades National Park. Immerse yourself in the beauty of different ecosystems in the Everglades. View a wide variety of birds and alligators up close! Learn about the Everglades wetland ecosystem and the tropical hardwood hammock ecosystem, with its diverse trees, plant life and wildlife. This is a dry walk. Next, enjoy the thrill of an exhilarating air boat ride into the heart of the REAL Everglades, where wildlife abounds! This is no touristy type of trip. Learn about the heritage of the Miccosukee Indians as you visit a historic and remote tree island village you can only get to by air boat on this tour. See alligators and wildlife where they should be seen, in the wild, and up close! Enjoy a scenic, narrated wildlife drive through the Everglades. You’ll be back in time for lunch or an afternoon trip to the beach. Find the real Florida!
