Excellent -well worth it! - This was an amazing experience. The tour was excellent, well organized, and the two boat rides are not to be missed. Ryan, our tour guide, was pleasant, professional, and very, very knowledgeable. His passion for the Everglades was evident.

Magical day - This trip was booked at the last minute to celebrate our daughter's birthday and everyone at Wild Lime did their best to make it a special day for her and our 9 year old son, including sending a birthday tiara for her to wear. Lindsay is a fantastic guide - friendly, energetic and knowledgable, and due to her eagle eye we were lucky enough to see a host of wonders including Roseate Spoonbills, manatees and alligators gallore. And if that wasn't enough we had a dolphin diving behind our boat. The logistics and arrangments were courteous and well organised. Thank you guys. It was truly memorable.

Everglades biologist tour - Randy was very friendly and knowledgeable. History facts were great to listen to. Also both boat rides were very nice.

Excellent Tour - Excellent tour. We got picked up at our hotel, right on time. Our first stop was an airboat tour, Moscow tribe. Traveled to chichis and saw a few small alligators and kits of birds. Then we had a great lunch (Joanne's Blue Crab”  and we're off to a skiff where we toured the everglades park and saw a lot of dolphins. It ended with a “wet” walk which u are in at least ankle deep water  and sometimes knee high water. I recommend water shoes that do t co.e off and shorts that u can hike up when u need to. It was a great time, we saw lots of small gators, orchids, air plants, storks and a variety of other birds and plants.

Great Day Trip! - Princess and I were picked up in Everglades City by our guide Abigail from Wild Lime and headed out for our wet walk. Princess was certain she was going to be eaten by a gator or bitten by a snake, but Abby was able to convince her there was nothing to worry about. The water was surprisingly clear and mid thigh at the deepest. It wasn't muddy and we felt safe the whole time thanks to Abby. We learned about birds and plants that we saw along the way. It was a great time and I was surprised when Princess told me it was her favorite part of the day, since she was real nervous about walking through the swamp. After the wet walk we stopped at several areas looking for a Crocodile, Alligators, and Manatees, where we also saw a lot of fish and a huge soft shell turtle that must have been 3 foot around. On the way to our first boat ride we toured Ted Smallwood's Trading Post. Very interesting and glad we went through it. Lunch was provided at Joanies Blue Crab Cafe and was good enough that Princess and I went back later. We also went for two boat rides. The first was out in the ten thousand islands. There were tons of different birds including white pelicans and had a pod of dolphins playing in our wake. The second was on a fan boat out in the river of Grasses, where we stopped on an island that members of the Tiger Tail family lived on until somewhat recently. Neither Princess nor I can imagine how people lived out there. Princess wouldn't make it and sadly, i probably wouldn't either. Here we were introduced to a huge mama gator. The air boat ride was fun and smooth like riding in a Cadillac. Abby was amazing! She loves what she does and it shows. She was very engaging and knowledgeable. It is a bit pricey, but if you can afford it, do yourself a favor and go. This was one of the best days Princess and I have had together.

Great day, Great people, Great expetimxe - We were picked from our guide on time and were met with smile. Enoch our guide was very engaging during our journey to meet up with others for the Everglades fan boat tour. This was an awesome experience from the actual boat ride to seeing alligators in the wild ( especially mama- a large female alligator we saw). Our journey then took us for a lunch at a local vetted restaurant ( so nice to see the support of local businesses and not large chains). We then ended up at our next adventure. A boat ride to 10000 islands where we saw beautiful scenery and had a nice relaxing boat ride. We were not as fortunate as the other boats as they had Dolphins swimming behind them in their wake ( saw video) We then proceeded from there to a location for a nature walk with two naturalist ( Armando and Enoch) They tag teamed to make our experience that much more better. Armando finished with a speech with a heart felt speech about becoming ng in nature as one and living the moment. This especially reached home as a lady in our group was ill and dying. You would not have known by her joy for the life she was living at that moment. Wish her all the best for her remaining time. When then all said our good byes and departed to our original locations ( a great group of individuals we met which enhanced our experience). Enoch then drove us back to our hotel. Would recommend this tour 100%

Great Everglades tour - not to be missed - This is an excellent trip and Abigail our guide for the day did a fabulous job in sharing her extensive knowledge and expertise of the Everglades. The only downside was unusually cold Florida weather making the boat trips rather chilly, but despite this we really enjoyed the day, learnt lots about the Everglades and saw fabulous wild life including many birds; alligators; manatees and dolphin. Our thanks again to Abigail - a great guide for the day.

Amazing Everglades National Park experience - This is an excellent National Park tour of Everglades National Park. The animal life is abundant including alligators, birds, dolphins and turtles on our tour. The airboat ride took us into tribal land that gave insight into how the native tribe lived. The boat ride into the Ten Thousand Islands area was a highlight especially with the dolphins playing in the boat’s wake. Most importlantly our guide Armando is passionate about the Everglades and is passionate about teaching the public about the history, wildlife and plants of the Everglades. Highly recommended

Smitten by the Everglades - This was our first time in the Everglades and we hope one day to go back and explore more. We would do it over and over again with Wild Lime and what I believe is the most enthusiastic nature guide I have ever met, Armando. He grew up near the Everglades and his passion for the park is obvious, and as a guest in his world you can’t help but be amazed by every feature whether it’s an animal, a plant or a fossil. I believe he is an alligator whisperer; he has the photos to prove it. Don’t disappoint yourself by booking a half-day. Go for the full day and be sure to ask for Armando. Some helpful info: The vehicles we rode in were spacious and clean. There are several bathroom breaks during the day. The lunch that is included is absolutely delicious (one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had). If you plan to tip during a full day, there are a few opportunities (air boat ride, boat ride, restaurant and the Wild Lime guide) so have a few bucks in your pocket otherwise you need to dash back to the van each time. The full-day is a long day. Don’t make plans for the evening because you’ll be exhausted but very very satisfied.

The most in-depth day trip to the Everglades - Let's not beat about the bush - this tour is expensive. Very, very expensive. Having said that, the tour is very good. After a round of hotel pick-ups,. you are driven to a rendezvous on the edge of the Everglades where you meet your fellow group members and guides for the day - different groups will gave signed uo to do different tours. This one is the biggest and baddest. Then there are three main sections for the day: First off, there is an air boat ride over marshland, looking for alligators and wading birds. Sometimes there are snakes too, but it was not a snakey day when I went. The boats are run by the Miccosukee tribe. They are large and you are likely to be combined with other groups on the boat. Next up is a brief stop at the Big Cypress Park Nathaniel P Reed visitor centre where there are plenty of alligators to be seen. There are also interesting films broadcast in the auditorium but the stop is not really long enough to engage with these. Then lunch at Joanie's Blue Crab Cafe. You pre-order food at the start of the morning so it is delivered quickly. I had a blackened fish sandwich - which is one of Florida's famous dishes. Then Joanie came out to sell us key lime pie (the other famous Floridan dish) at extra cost. The second big stop was for a boat ride in the Ten Thousand Islands to look for dolphins. We got lucky and had dolphins following us for a long way. and we also saw swimming raccoons = which are in scarce supply as they are preyed upon by the invasive Burmese python. On the way we passed through Everglades City where most of the men had to go to prison for being involved in the drugs supply line, and visited the historic Smallwood Store. The third and final stop was the wet walk. This is the bit that I had been most hesitant about - mostly concerning what to wear and how the logistics would work. The answer is that there is an opportunity to change before and after the wet walk, and the team make old shoes (pre-dampened) available for anyone who wants them. I got wet up to the tops of my thighs, but given that the floor is full of mud and hidden obstacles, it is always possible that you would fall and get completely submerged. I had brought a dry bag for my phone for this possibility. It was a sensible precaution but it did make getting it out to take a photograph something of a hassle. The walk itself was around a cypress dome - aka an alligator hole. The alligators do not see people as prey so they tend to back away if people appear. We were able to see many rare endemic plants and experience a habitat that is completely alien for humans. All under the watchful eyes of the alligator. Then, after changing back into dry clothes, we were left back in our hotels. Overall the day started at about 7 and ended at gone 6 o'clock, Our guide, Elijah Ruby, was a great asset. He knew the biology stuff but he also had a passion for the history and the people of the Floridan peninsula. While that may not be everyone's interest on the tour, it worked for me - understanding how Florida transformed from a swampy backwater with few inhabitants and little development to the cities and holiday destinations we see today. This came through in little details, like the way when we sat the smallest Post Office in the USA at Ochopee, Elijah told us about the communities it served and the huge area to which it delivered. This turned a quirky hut selling postcards into something real and functional. Throughout the day, we had access to water and snacks (crisps, biscuits, etc) in the vehicle. We were also given a water bottle to take away. If I could offer a couple of suggestions - they would be (a) to start earlier to allow longer at the Nathaniel P Reed Centre; and (b) to include the key lime pie in the price - or just add it onto the price. Otherwise it feels a bit like being nickel and dimed. I am glad to have done this tour and I don't believe there would be a more comprehensive day trip to the Everglades on offer. You see three different environments in three different ways. You see some last vestige of Florida's soul that has long been lost in Miami. I just wish it had not been quote so expensive.
