Good trip worth a try for energetic people! - Thanks for tour guider Ryan! good trip for most of people! Learnt very much things about Everglades and Miami history and culture. If something had to say, it’s better for well-prepared people because it’s a one-day trip and need some energy to go through the whole trip, as it includes things you may be interested in here and compress into one day.

Amazing! Highly Recommend! - We went on the full day biologist led Everglades and 10,000 Islands tour. Our main tour guide Addie was amazing! Learned so much in the history and science of this part of Florida. They picked us up from our hotel and took care of lunch and snacks too. A+ experience!

Lots of information and great activities in the Everglades - Enoch introduced us to the Everglades, he shared a lot of great deal of information about the ecology, fauna and flora of the area, highly recommended activities that included a nature hike and two boat excursions including to the thousand islands.

Fun in the Everglades! - My husband and I had a great time! Lindsey was an excellent guide. We really enjoyed learning about the ecology of the Everglades and the history of the region. The airboat ride, boat tour in the Thousand Islands region, short dry hike, and stop at a visitor center would be good adventures for anyone, including kids or older folks. It was a long day, but a good one.

Discover the "real" Florida - The Wild Lime Adventure tour of the Everglades and Big Cypress was a wonderful experience. It includes a hike, two boat rides (motorboat through the mangroves and airboat through sawgrass wetlands), lunch and several other short stops. We saw quite a bit of wildlife including numerous alligators, a crocodile, herons, osprey, ibis, egrets, storks and pelicans. Our guide Ryan was excellent and possessed considerable knowledge and a true passion for the area and its natural and human histories. He is also quite entertaining and made the day enjoyable. I came away with a deeper appreciation and knowledge of the area, ecosystem and the abundant wildlife that it supports. The only negative comment I have is with regards to the information provided by the pilot of our mangrove boat. He told our group that the mangrove trees were introduced by the Spanish and that the trees had a detrimental effect on the ecosystem because the leaves, which are periodically shed, acidify the water causing the underlying limestone to dissolve, decimating bird habitat. I'm not sure if he was simply misinformed or had some sort of agenda, but none of this is true. The reality - Mangroves are indigenous to southern Florida and are crucial to the health of the ecosystem. Great tour otherwise and we got to hold a baby alligator!

Best day while in Florida - We were not sure what to expect on a full day tour. Ryan our tour guide was extremely engaging as well as knowledgeable in not only what we were seeing but the history of the area. Highly recommend!!!

If you’re on the fence... - If you’re on the fence about this excursion, just do it! This is the best way to experience the Everglades, imo. It is a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and learning. Our guide Lindsey was awesome! She is extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. She goes out of her way to keep everyone safe and will make sure you have fun. She’s a huge science nerd, and I mean that in the best way! She was extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw and her excitement about animals is contagious! The tour itself is very well paced. We never found ourselves waiting for anything nor did anything feel rushed. The dolphin viewing was our favorite part! This is the best way to see the real South Florida. You won’t regret it! Ask Lindsey!!

Great experience! Lots of interesting sights and animals - We had a great time in the airboat through the river of grasses in the Everglades seeing lots of gators and many birds. We then traveled to the 10000 islands near the Gulf of Mexico and saw porpoises and lots of birds. We also did a hike along a boardwalk back to a cypress grove. Lindsay, our biologist was great and very informative throughout the day. We also had a good lunch included.

Exciting boat rides! - My group had a great time on the 2 boat rides. We also did a small hike in Big Cypress Preserve. We saw many alligators, birds and even a dolphin. You do have to travel some in a van, but the guide tried to inform us about the history of the area during the ride. The lunch was also good.
