Best. Day. Ever. - Hands down one of the best trips I have EVER done. My wife picked the trip for us. I honestly wouldn’t have picked anything that ever had the words “wet walk” involved but I’m so glad she picked this one. The Everglades trip was AMAZING but the wet walk was EVERYTHING. We have done a hundred tours for various things but nothing will ever top this one. Worth every penny. Between the scenery and the sights, this was truly an experience we will forever treasure. We saw and did so much. My 70yr old mum absolutely loved it as well. And our guide, Lindsay, was the icing on the cake. Absolutely made the trip for us. She was funny, warm and so knowledgeable and engaging. This is one of those trips that no amount of words can ever do justice. Cannot rate this trip enough.

3 for the price of 1 - It was like 3 or 4 different tours. Air boat, driving/would life watching, boating out to ten thousand islands, and then the wet walk. Lindsey was knowledgeable and fun. The wet walk was a bit tough… mucky at first, but VERY cool. I highly recommend the entire tour.

A trip to the Everglades - Our day long tour with our guide/biologist, Lindsay, was very enjoyable. The company arranged for an Uber to take us to the meeting point (Fort Lauderdale) in Miami. Our group consisted of 12 individuals and we drove in a comfortable air conditioned van. Lindsay provided a good overview of the Everglades and its varied ecosystems. The airboat driver, Elvis, was very accommodating and allowed us to get up close with the alligators in the River of Grass. We had a very enjoyable lunch at a cafe in the area, followed by a cruise into the Gulf of Mexico where we saw dolphins, and bird life. Lindsay then took us on a nature hike to view the flora and fauna of the region. We saw egrets, fish and baby alligators and learned the medicinal value of plants and trees in the area. During the day we were provided with several rest stops, snacks and fluids. The metal water bottle was greatly appreciated. Lindsay was a great host and arranged for a return Uber to take us back to Fort Lauderdale at the end of the day. We would definitely recommend this tour to get a good overview of Florida’s Everglades.

Perfect day out - We had an absolutely fabulous day out with Eli. He was very knowledgeable about the area and took great trouble to share that knowledge with us. From the time he picked us up at our hotel to the time he dropped us off he took great care of us making sure we had drinks and nibbles and comfort breaks. The Everglades area is great and the partners who provided the boat trips and lunch were equally as knowledgeable, friendly and professional as Eli. Would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Beat expectations with Elija as the naturalist! - ELIJA was one of the best tour guides we have ever experienced....he was friendly, informative, courteous and in the end, we all considered him a friend. The airboat ride was very pleasant....the babies we saw were spectacular but we did expect to see more alligators. The driving tours were well planned and very informative...and the van extremely comfortable, especially with all the water and snacks. The lunch was simple but ample. Loved the "colorful" boat tour in the Everglades, complete with the stories and folklore. The Big Cypress dry hike was fascinating....we never though we could get so much from a simple nature hike...again, a testament to Elija. We highly recommend this tour if you can insure you get him!!

Highly recommended! - Such a great tour with a visit of one of the Miccosukee once inhabited islands together with Robert, a Miccosukee, who grew up there, and a unique, 1 1/4 hrs. boat ride in the Ten Thousand Islands at the Gulf of Mexico, where we also saw Dolphins. I also like, the the group is always small, max. 12 people. It has been the second time I took this tour. This time we’ve been out with Stacy, a very kind a knowledgeable guide. Thank you!

A great introduction to the Everglades - We had a wonderful day in the Everglades with Wild Lime. Our main guide and driver, Julia, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were impressed with how much she knew even though she had only been leading tours for 3 weeks. We enjoyed our nature walk and two boat rides. These were actually outsourced to other operators by Wild Lime, but both boat captains were also very knowledgeable and friendly. We did see lots of birds, lots of plants, a few dolphins, some turtles, and some alligators. The last included a few larger ones near a visitor center, a tame one named "Mama" near where we started our airboat trip, and some babies. We did not see any large truly wild gators during our airboat ride, but that was because the mothers were on their nests on the grassy islands and the males each have 2 square mile territories which makes them harder to come across. I also imagine that the loud airboats scare them away. We were served a very generous lunch and given souvenir metal water bottles that we used the rest of our vacation and brought home with us. We felt safe the entire trip. Overall, this tour is a great way to spend a day in the Everglades, especially if you have never visited before.

Top tour of the Everglades! - Ryan was a fantastic guide! He knows so much about the ecosystem, the history, and the Native American tribes of the area. He kept us entertained all day (and it was a long day, as I was picked up from Ft. Lauderdale). The boat ride was fun and the airboat ride even more so. The wet walk was both gross and a fascinating close-up look at the ecosystem. This is definitely my top pick for a tour if you want to tour the Everglades.
