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. 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.

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

Two wonderful trips We did two tours with Wild Lime Adventures on consecutive days, both different but both excellent an d full of things to do. 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

Excellent experience! And Guide Lindsey is outstanding! Lindsey made this an informative and entertaining adventure. From the timely meet up to the well- selected activities and guides. We learned about the Miccosukee tribe and their strong connection to the Everglades. Lindsey and the guides (air boat ride and boat ride out to the Gulf) were friendly and professional, and each offered a unique perspective about the environment and shared that knowledge and appreciation. We saw over 150 alligators(!), many birds, and dolphins. We also learned about medicinal plants growing in the region, and enjoyed a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Our group of about 14 included people of all ages, and all activities were well-suited to us all. Overall, a very enjoyable snd informative experience which I would recommend highly.

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
