Not your typical tourist tour

5.00My niece and I had a wonderful full-day tour of the less well-known southern Everglades with Wild Lime Adventures. Professionally and passionately led by a knowledgeable, experienced zoologist, Armando, the tour gave us a renewed respect and appreciation for nature, and the wonder that is the Everglades National Park. A beautiful and unique experience that we will keep with us always.
Excellent tour, Armando really made it.

5.00Armando did a spectacular job of showing us the Everglades, Big Cypress National Preserve and several other sights. His knowledge of the land, animals, and plants is amazing and he gave a great perspective on the Native American history and their relationship with the land. The air boat ride and afternoon boat rides were both really fun and educational. Overall great tour. Highly recommend it.
A great way to experience the Everglades

5.00Excellent experience, and a perfect way to see a variety of environments within the Everglades - from the river airboat, to the thousand islands, and a short hike through the grasslands. Addy was an AMAZING and knowledgeable naturalist guide. I would highly recommend this trip!
Great way to experience the Everglades in one day

4.00Great day with Armando who provided great information and context. Kept my teens engaged. The airboat and boat tour were fantastic and the hike was very informative if a little mosquito heavy.
Incredible private tour

5.00We had the most incredible day with our tour guide Ryan. My daughter has mobility issues (& we had our wheelchair with us) Wild Lime were incredibly accommodating and this private tour was everything we hoped it would be and more. Ryan was so knowledgeable about the history of Florida as well as about the flora and fauna, we learnt so much! We saw so many alligators, turtles, amazing birds and the highlight of the trip for all of us was the dolphins swimming by our boat round the 10000 islands. Even the lunch stop was an experience! (& yummy!) very different to anywhere we’d eat in the UK. It was an incredible day and will be one we’ll never forget! Thank you!
We saw a squirrel! And so much more on the full day Everglades tour

5.00We spent a fantastic day with our guide, Ryan, and learned more than we anticipated about the ecosystems and history of the Everglades and south Florida. We did the full day tour, and recommend it highly as a way to both experience the area and gain a deeper understanding of the flora and fauna in the region. Ryan was highly knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, and offered excellent local recommendations for things to do while in town.
One million stars to Biologist Addy

5.00One million stars to Biologist Addy and all those involved! This day was the highlight of our trip! This tour was immersive, informative, organized and delightful. Every place we stopped was ready for us and provided a wonderful experience. We were there for the animals and a 'non-zoo' experience of the Everglades, we were not disappointed.
Everglades Adventure!

5.00This trip gave us a good sampling of what is available in the Everglades Region, wildlife viewing on a manmade canal with an airboat, more wildlife viewing from a boat at sea and a short walk with explanations of fauna and flora.
