Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
With your expert naturalist guide, head out on an amazing 90-minute nature walk in Everglades National Park, the only Unesco World Heritage Site in Florida. This is your chance to view a wide variety of wildlife, including birds, large alligators, baby alligators, turtles, and more, up close! And where it should be experienced, in the wild! Discover the biodiversity of this one-of-a-kind wetland wilderness.
For 20-30 minutes, explore Everglades National Park on your own and stop in at the national park visitor center. Collect stamps, pins, or other souveneirs of your choice from ENP. Also, go on a scenic narrated drive led by your naturalist through the Everglades.
Take an exhilarating 60-70 minute air boat ride way far from land way out in the true "River of Grass." This non-touristy trip is your opportunity to see all kinds of wildlife and a vast array of bird species. Learn about the Native American culture, and to experience the remote beauty of their unique way of life.

Definitely the way to see that side of the park

5.00This was wonderful. Tammy was an amazing guide. Friendly and so knowledgeable. This was also very handicap assessable ad my elderly father was with us and we needed to take his scooter and our own car. They gave us a discount for taking our own car as well. If you call instead of book online they also give you a discount just fyi. The walk in shark valley was so great! We saw tons of wildlife very close up. It's difficult to get into shark valley on your own as there is very little parking so taking the tour was beneficial in that way as well. The airboat was different than I had thought it would be. But it was still very nice. Keep in mind that there is a whole other side of the park so be sure to go in there as well to see some amazing stuff and go on some great trails.
Very satisfying tour

5.00Guide was very knowledgeable and professional. Shared interesting stories about the land, wildlife and people of the area. Due to the current drought, we didn’t get to fully experience the air boat tour but they were still able to make the air boat ride a good experience. Would recommend the tour.
Great trip, would highly recommend

2.00Very mediocre. Little to know information about the Everglades or the animals. One boat after another like a Disneyland ride
A fun way to get a taste of the Everglades and be back in Miami in time for a late lunch

5.00Really impressed with the crew at Wild Lime. From pickup to drop-off, very professional. I want to especially give a shout out to their team as it turned out that the staff had lost an important member of the team literally the day before our tour, and they still pulled it off and made sure everyone had a great time. Our guide was great; she was knowledgeable and fun and the entire experience was exactly what I had hoped it would be.
Bucket list - airboat ride

4.00We were staying in the Keyes so we drove ourselves to a meeting site and may have missed some of the information provided on the ride to the event. Our tour guide was well informed and very passionate about the tour. The tour guide on the airboat road was also well informed and pleasant. A very fun event.
Ryan - amazing tour guide

5.00The tour was great although we were not lucky with the weather . The tour was nicely organized, with prompt pick up, water and snacks available. But the best part of the tour was the guiding part. Ryan is a "walking" encyclopedia - he has so much knowledge about the history, geography, nature and he shares it so easily. Thanks to him we could learn a lot about the park, animals, Florida and history of Miami. Amazing experience and fully recommended.
1/2 Day Airboat Ride and Everglades Nature Walk

5.00It was an a wonderful, immersive experience. We got to the Everglades and went on a fascinating walk at Shark Valley National Park. We saw baby Alligators, as well as full grown ones. We saw many species of exotic birds, all so well explained by our guide Mitch. Then we went on an airboat ride and saw many more Alligators and birds. It really was just a wonderful way to spend our day.
Great experience!
