5.00This tour exceeded my expectations. Ryan was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable about the area historically, nature, and geology wise. The day was filled with exiting wildlife (alligators, crocodiles, birds, dolphins, manatees), boat ride within the mangrove islands, airboat ride and a walk within the Cypress Preserve. Lunch was at a quaint cafe with fresh made sandwiches and salads. Try the homemade Key Lime pie.
Thoughtful perspectives…

5.00The tour provided us with all of the stated activities and much more. Our tour guide, Ryan, was a fountain of information. He was pleasant, accommodating, and fully knowledgeable about each experience. In addition, between stops Ryan provided a detailed historical account of the development of Florida, and the impact that humans have, not only on each other, but also on the habitat in which they live.
The tour was excellent in...

5.00The tour was excellent in every way one could expect. The pickup was punctual, the vehicle was clean, comfortable and the arranged lunch at Camille’s was delicious. Our guide Ryan was very courteous, considerate and professional. He was well versed and passionate in the science of Botany, Zoology as well as the science and history of the Everglades and the State of Florida. We had a chance to witness firsthand a lot of wild life wonders of the Everglades and learned a lot while enjoying the beauty of it. The cruise, hike and the airboat ride provides added excitement and information as well. Overall, this was one of the best and pleasant tours we’ve ever experienced.. Thank you, Ryan and Ben who arranged this tour to happen very smoothly. Thank you, Wild Lime Adventures . Thank you Viator.
Good Value

3.00Good trip and appreciated the vendors Wild Lime partnered with (to offer the air boat tour, etc.). I would have had the walk through the park FIRST, instead of after the END of the day... during the heat of the day. I would also advise the tour guide to not make any liberal political comments... Know your audience and role, perhaps? Overall a very good experience!

5.00Thank you, Lindsey, for an unforgettable day in the Everglades. Your humour, knowledge, and relaxed pace made the tour exceptional. We were amazed by how you managed to spot so many animals: dolphins, newborn alligators, turtles, crocodiles, fish, and beautiful birds - that we’d never have seen without you. The small group of eight was perfect, the lunch was delicious, and the whole experience was ideal for our family with teenagers. Even after nine hours, it felt like just a few magical moments. We’re so grateful for the wonderful memories you helped us create,truly a day to remember!

5.00We had an absolutely fabulous experience from start to finish. We were picked up on time by a high quality small group passenger van. Our tour guide Lyndsey was both professional and extremely educational as well as approachable and funny. We enjoyed every part of the experience, and despite the full day I wouldn’t have wanted to miss any part of it. The boat operators were also very thoughtful in their approach to the wildlife and were careful to be respectful of the animals and their natural habitats. Snacks and water were provided and the lunch was delicious! If you are on the fence about booking it is worth the time and investment for a true naturalist experience!
Perfect way to see the Everglades in one day.

5.00Our tour guide Ryan was exceptional…friendly, informative, and entertaining. Airboat ride was fantastic. Got to see some gators, and other wildlife. Riding fast on the airboat and gliding around turns was a thrill! Boat ride to the 10,000 islands was also fun. Dolphins racing and jumping beside and behind the boat! The original tour with the hike was cancelled for lack of people so we were moved to one with a “wet walk” hike through the swamp. Didn’t do that since we didn’t come prepared for it. Lunch in Everglades City was delicious. All in all a great experience. Bug spray and sun screen are a must.
Top tour!!

5.00Just amazing! The cruise, hike and airboat ride gave us a real taste of the wildlife and beauty of the Everglades. Our guide was fun, and amazing sharing stories. The biologist made it fun and educational - sharing fascinating insights about the plants and animals we saw. We spotted birds, alligators and so much unique scenery along the way. It's perfect mix of adventure, learning, and unforgettable views. Highly recommended for nature lovers!
