    Lindsay was a phenomenal tour guide that made the entire tour and day go by fast. She offered great facts about alligators and Miami in general, where she really did keep us entertained the whole day - even the car rides. We saw alligators very up close and also saw dolphins right next to our boat during the 10,000 islands tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Everglades!

    This tour is very well run. Our biologist was very knowledgeable, and he did an excellent job of making us think about the ecological interaction between mankind and the Everglades. We did see some birds and alligators, but far fewer than we expected. The airboat and skiff boat rides were great fun, and the dry hike gave you a different perspective of life in the Everglades.

    The guide, Lindsey, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat rides were a lot of fun, though I would have liked to hear a bit more information from the boat captains. We saw lots of wildlife, including alligators, dolphins, and the endangered roseated spoonbill. As I was the only one in the group out of Fort Lauderdale, I had to get picked up early (6:30am) and dropped off late (8ish) but it was nice they called me the day before to tell me and gave me the option to cancel.

    Had a great day, our guide Lindsey was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a ton about the Everglades and the history of SW Florida. Our boat captains, Elvis and Gary explained the history of the region and details about the wildlife.

    I was on the full day everglades adventure tour with a dry hike led by a naturalist. I went on November 30th. This was a fantastic tour of the Everglades and Cypress National Preserve. If you love the outdoors and being in nature this is a great tour. We went on an airboat ride in the beautiful Everglades ecosystem. We had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant that was delightful. We had a fun boat tour through the mangroves of the 10 thousand islands and a walk through the cypress canopy in Cypress National Preserve. It was a wonderful day led by our naturalist Lindsay who was extremely knowledgeable about the natural history, eco system and historical culture of the area. We even topped the tour off with a piece of frozen key lime pie. Lindsay was knowledgeable and delightful and besides sharing her enthusiasm and knowledge of the area she made sure we were all very comfortable. I highly recommend this tour if you love the outdoors.

    Went out with Ben, owner of Wild Lime on November 23. Great Trip. Saw different types of birds, nice lunch served, and the air boat ride in the Native American reservation was awesome, felt like were thousands of miles away from civilization. We didn't see much wildlife on the motor boat tour in the Ten Thousand Islands area but Wild Lime can't control that, but got to see the mangroves and zoom in and out of the many islands. Overall, well worth the trip to see the Everglades in one full-day and get the A to Z tour. Highly recommended.

    The trip was wonderful and the naturalist imparted so much information and was so enthusiastic . The tour included an hour cruise on an airboat through the Sea of Grass where there were so many birds and a large female alligator up close on one of the islands. While driving, we saw many birds and alligators. We had a nice Cuban lunch then stopped at a museum telling the history of developing the Everglades. Next we took an hour long boat ride through the 10,000 Islands where we saw many birds, but no manatees. It was delightful. We then took a nature walk through Big Cypress National Preserve and ended with close ups of alligators. The tour was definitely worth the price. I highly recommend it.

    My friend and I did the Full Day Tour: Hike and Everglades Adventure led by Ben. The minute we were picked up we started learning about the history of the everglades and the birds that we were seeing as we were driving to our destinations. We saw alligators, dolphins, pink birds, turtles, etc. We stopped many times along the Tamiami so Ben could point out and explain the different wildlife we were seeing and the changes in the ecosystem. We went on a short hike, a boat ride through the 10,000 Islands and an Airboat Ride to end our adventures for the day. We also had many pit stops, a wonderful lunch and small attractions that we stopped at along the way. This was a full day of adventures and worth every penny. At the end of the day I was looking into what trips I could take on my next visit with Wild Lime Adventures. You wont be disappointed a very fun full day!

    We had a great experience with Wild lime adventures. Lindsey was our tour guide. She was friendly and had our curiosity from the beginning of the trip. Her explanations were very informative. We also had a great boat tour guide, Gary, who shared his rich history with Everglades city. We saw a bunch of alligators, which was exciting. Would definitely recommend this tour to people who want to know more about Florida's everglades and big cypress.
