Half-day was awesome
Mar 2021
Thoroughly enjoyed the half day tour with Ben. After being picked up from our hotel, we drove ~45 minutes out to the Everglades for a nature walk followed by the airboat ride. Ben was very knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating, even providing some snacks and drinks throughout the day. We look forward to booking another tour with Wild Lime when we come back to the area, and would definitely recommend to friends.

Easy and Fun Way to Visit the Everglades
Apr 2021 • Couples
Ben was a great tour guide! Prior to our excursion there was clear communication for pick up and directions, which made our car ride very easy. We learned a lot on our nature walk and he answered every question I had (which was a lot.) I actually left my water bottle in the van after we left the air boat, Ben happily made an extra trip to drop it off at my Airbnb. He is awesome! I would recommend Wild Lime Adventures to anyone of any age that wants to visit the Everglades.

Fantastic tour
We absolutely loved this tour. Ben was great, and even though it was unusually cold we saw lots of wildlife including plenty of alligators. The airboat was fun, as always, and we got to see an alligator up close and personal.

Eco nature walk
Communication and pick was great by our guide, Mike. There is a few pickups along the way, which wasn’t too bad. Nice ride out to the middle of the Everglades, with a restroom stop at a general store. Then it’s off for a short ride out to the National Park entrance. There is a visitor center there and restrooms. We were offered cold water before our hike. The hike is a leisurely mile or so, with a brief rest break about half way there. Also, we hiked briefly down a slightly muddy trail if you choose to, which was great. It wasn’t that muddy, but I guess if your wear Gucci, you might want to skip it. We got really up close and personal with a lot of wild life. We saw snakes, egrets, alligators, turtles and all kind of birds. The air boat ride was fun. But, I really enjoyed the hike, and was glad we had a guide. Our guide was fantastic, and interesting, another family attempted to join our group, LOL, but true. There were plenty of breaks, and restroom stops, which was appreciated. I didn’t feel rushed.
I highly recommend this Eco tour and Mike.

Your review seems to reflect the relaxed, non-rushed nature of the trip. We try to pack in all of the excitement of seeing a lot of alligators and other wildlife, all the while being able to take our time to soak it all in. Thanks for letting us know we achieved that pace with this particular tour. We appreciate you coming out there with us, and for leaving us this quite kind review.

Air boat
Mar 2021 • Couples
We had a great time on this tour. The posting should include that there is a 2 hour nature hike and then a pretty cool airboat ride. The shuttle vans that pick you up are really nice!

Thank you for taking a moment to leave a review. The nature walk isn't exactly a 2-hour hike. It is an easy walk really, of about an hour and 20 minutes, led by a naturalist; but then with time to explore and walk on one's own a bit too - which all in all, does total about 2 hours. We never want out guests to feel rushed, so we take out time. This 2-hour time frame is mentioned in the trip description online. We are glad you had a good time. Thanks for coming.

Amazing!
Mar 2021 • Family
I cannot say enough great things about this tour and company! I set out to find a tour that had an informative guide for my nature loving family. My 5,7 and 10 year old were thoroughly entertained and our guide was able to answer all of their questions. We learned so much about local wildlife and Native American culture. This is the best tour on the Everglades!

Great half day excursion to Everglades
Our guide picked us in the south end of South Beach at the condo we were staying at. She was very friendly and we had a text saying she would be a few minutes late. Her background as a marine biologist provided for an informative ride and walking tour. Felt very safe as all wore masks and hearing protection headphones were sanitized. Enjoyed the adventure and arrived back at our condo by 1:30. Snacks and drinks also provided. Elvis was the perfect person for the boat ride and was amazing seeing him talk to Momma the old alligator we saw on the stop to the small island. Well worth the money.

No, further north. However, I’m pretty sure they will pick up in south Miami because the route to the Everglades runs nearby. Suggest you contact them directly; call phone number in their website, NOT the one in Trip Advisor. The latter is just a know-nothing call center.
