Good half day close to city! Great half day adventure. Our guide Abby was kind and informative. The walk through the park was interesting and we were lucky enough to see several gators. The air boat ride was awesome!

Epic Everglades Experience We took this tour on 8th December 2025. Lindsay, our guide, was exceptional. We were the first pick up at 7:00am, she was bang on time. We did have major traffic issues on route to collect other guests, Lindsay was keeping the other guests, and her office, updated with projected arrival times, so considerate. On the tour she was brilliant, so knowledgeable, explaining all details of all the animals. On the walking tour we saw turtles, amazing birds, and a female alligator with perhaps half a dozen babies, we were within 8 feet from her, really quite a moving experience. The Airboat was awesome. On one of the islands we saw, on land and up close, an enormous male alligator, and many others, incredible. I must say this trip was worth every penny. (Lindsay, if you read this, Michael and Marion did go to Georgios Bakery, had dinner overlooking the river in a thunderstorm, EPIC!!!! Thanks for the recommendation)

Discover the "real" Florida The Wild Lime Adventure tour of the Everglades and Big Cypress was a wonderful experience. It includes a hike, two boat rides (motorboat through the mangroves and airboat through sawgrass wetlands), lunch and several other short stops. We saw quite a bit of wildlife including numerous alligators, a crocodile, herons, osprey, ibis, egrets, storks and pelicans.

Our guide Ryan was excellent and possessed considerable knowledge and a true passion for the area and its natural and human histories. He is also quite entertaining and made the day enjoyable. I came away with a deeper appreciation and knowledge of the area, ecosystem and the abundant wildlife that it supports.

The only negative comment I have is with regards to the information provided by the pilot of our mangrove boat. He told our group that the mangrove trees were introduced by the Spanish and that the trees had a detrimental effect on the ecosystem because the leaves, which are periodically shed, acidify the water causing the underlying limestone to dissolve, decimating bird habitat. I'm not sure if he was simply misinformed or had some sort of agenda, but none of this is true. The reality - Mangroves are indigenous to southern Florida and are crucial to the health of the ecosystem.

Great tour otherwise and we got to hold a baby alligator!

Best day while in Florida We were not sure what to expect on a full day tour. Ryan our tour guide was extremely engaging as well as knowledgeable in not only what we were seeing but the history of the area. Highly recommend!!!

Wildlife Fun Had a wonderful experience with our friends. We saw lots of gators in their natural environment, on the walking tour, and also on the boat ride. We saw a crane catch a snake. Very informative and fun time.
