Great way to experience the Florida Everglades!
OnAir00842442763, 01-10-2022
What a wonderful outing we had with Wild Lime Adventures! The day was so well organized. Our tour guide was Ryan. He was knowledgeable and funny! The boat captains, Elvis and Corey, for our two boat expeditions, were both knowledgeable and respectful of the environment. We saw alligators, pelicans, dolphins, and manatees!
Can’t thank Wild Lime enough for a great day!
Best Trip Ever!

What a week! Wild Lime Adventures was not just a tour it was an experience! Wild Lime Adventures had selected 2 guides Lindsey and Darren who not only made it fun, but showed us the history, and life found in Florida! Our school group used this company and Lindsey and Darren showed us the Everglades, led us on a kayaking and snorkeling adventure, and made this school drip a dream come true. Everything was perfectly organized and we enjoyed great food everyday we were there enjoying the local restaurants.I would definitely recommend this company!!
Great Day in the Everglades

The entire tour was great. You get to experience three different ecosystems, and our guide was very knowledgeable about everything. Comfortable van with plenty of snacks and drinks.
Really fun day out for the family

Great trip for our family. Really educational learning about the wildlife, history and area - made really fun by our amazing guide Lindsay.

Both boat trips were great - highlight was the dolphins chasing our boat.
Serious Educational Tour in the Everglades

Our guide, Ryan, gave us a non-stop, comprehensive & well-organized overview of the Everglades -- history of the peoples who first populated the region - Native Americans & Spanish; the spectacular fauna & flora -- rare orchids, bromeliads, wood storks, 'gators, etc.; and culture. We learned about the building of the Tamiami Trail, the history of Everglades City and a whole lot more. We'd highly recommend this tour. Unforuntely, we forgot our binoculars in the van. The good news is that thanks to their responsible staff, Stacy called to say they found them, so we were able to get them back. It was a great pleasure spending the day with Ryan, who was patient, responsible, and entertaining. We hope to do the kayak tour with this group next year!
An inside look into the Everglades with a real expert

We loved our trip with Zac. He knew EVERYTHING about the Everglades, pointing out rare bird and plant species, as well as the unique history of the area. It was the perfect way to experience the Everglades with our family.

Exhilarating

Fantastic day all around! Guides were informative (our main guide had an incredible amount of knowledge on local history and wildlife), fun and accommodating —-the day was well planned and had a good flow. I thoroughly enjoyed the wet walk and could’ve done another hour of that part of the day!
Awesome way to experience the Everglades
I5766MIjohnt, 21-01-2023
Absolutely AWESOME trip. Zac was an amazing guide and extremely knowledgeable and good fun.

Highlight of the day had to be the Dolphins playing, following the boat on the edge of Chocoloskee Bay / Gulf of Mexico, followed by the wet walk.

A long day, 7.00am pick-up and 6.45pm drop-off but well worth-it.

Would highly recommend
