Everglades National Park Naturalist Led Hike, 2 Boat Trips + More

Lindsey is the best! Very knowledgable of the habitat and area. We had a great time and would definitely recommend.

A bit of a grueling day and a lot of riding in a van between locations, but our guide, Armando was upbeat and knowledgeable making it interesting.

Enoch was awesome, and really knew his stuff. We loved the second boat best, but it was fun to get a taste of everything. The description doesn’t mention lunch, but rest assured, you get well fed. All in all a very fun trip and would highly recommend.

I chose this tour as my first solo adventure during my birthday, and I could not have been happier with my choice. Each part of the tour is magical in its own way, and I truly enjoyed the entire day. Our tour guide, Armando, was so knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful. Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience!

While it might seem a little pricey--go ahead and book it! Our all day adventure was excellent! Our guide, Enoche, was very friendly and a wealth of knowledge. Getting to see the Everglades and learn about the area more indepth was a fantastic experience. The lunch spot had really good food options--the Mahi Mahi tacos and Shrimp tacos were a hit. The airboat portion was extra special as we stopped and watched an Blue Heron eat a snake!

Very fun; the guides were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. A cold day but I would still do it again.

The guide was knowledgeable, kept us up to date on timing and had a fun variety of activities. thanks

Excellent trip. Enoch was our guide and was amazing. We learned a lot about Everglades. Had a boat ride in the indian reservation - saw tons of birds, gators, a large blue heron eating an eel!, and one in the everglades park itself, with a lot of mangroves on the gulf thousand island side. had lunch at a good place, and a nature walk. worth it.

On time, experience matched advertising, you will get wet/ wear water shoes, bathing suit, rashguard- full sun exposure on arms and legs even with awning- don’t need insurance- impossible to sink the boat! We went 30 mph but you could stay in the rear if you didn’t want to go that fast- if nervous ask to get in water first to play with the steering/ throttle/ Hat with strap- it will blow off, Devin was responsible, clear and direct with instructions- we went on two different days and saw dolphins each time- dolphins were in arms reach each time

Five of us did the Dry Hike & Everglades Adventure with Addy as our guide. She is super knowledgeable about the Everglades area and wildlife. Addy made our trip most memorable. It was an excellent use of our time and money. We enjoyed every part of the trip and learned a lot about the local Everglades environment. We saw several dozen alligators in their natural habitat, a bunch of manatees, and dozens of species of native birds. We took great photographs of alligators within 20 to 30 feet, and birds as close as 5 feet.

The tour was fantastic, and Ryan is a very knowledgeable guide. His knowledge of the flora and fauna is incredible and the things we saw made trip absolutely worthwhile!

Great Trip, Lindsey did a great job, very knowledgeable about the plants, animals and birds we saw. She is very passionate about nature and a lot of fun to be with.

This was an absolute amazing tour of the Everglades. We saw gators, birds and dolphins. We loved the Native American airboat tour. Armando was an exceptional tour guide. His knowledge of this area made the visit so much more memorable. Please update the information for this tour. It talks about 2 boat rides and then shows pic of kayaking. I dressed for kayaking. No kayaking on this tour which was fine. Pics were just misleading.

It was a fantastic trip. Our guide was very knowledgable and made the trip fun and exciting. I highly recommend it!

The tour exceeded our expectations. The air boat ride was probably our favorite but each part was great. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly.

Our guide Ryan was super! Informative, organized, prepared and friendly. Really wanted to teach us about the Everglades. Took good care of us all day. I learned and saw sooo much!

Our guide was Ryan. He was very courteous, and knowledgeable about the park. No one was able to ask a question he was not able to answer. Our boat Captains were knowledgeable of there respective areas, and knew where to take us to get the best experience. Good jobs both Fred, and Dave. Lunch at Joanie’s Crab House was excellent. Portions just right. Recommend the Mahi mahi fish sandwich and the shrimp basket. If we needed a nibble, Ryan was stoked with various snacks, water, sparkling water for the thirsty. Tour is recommended.

I will organized and will executed tour of the 10,000 islands area, and the Everglades! All of the amenities were clean… From the van transporting us to the boats used for the tours. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned lots about the history of the area, as well as the ecology and potential future of the Everglades. The young one enjoyed seeing alligators in the wild, as well as the dolphins playing off the edge of the boat! Yeah, it was a wonderful tour and well worthexperiencing!

Extremely knowledgeable staff, masterly professional, and so very kind. Tour was top quality. Staff went out of there way to inform us of biodiversity, history, taxonomy, indigenous populations, and so, so much more. Abigail was knowledgeable and extremely likable.. her understanding of the region is admirable . We left the region feeling as if we knew how special it is. Saw dolphins playing in our boats wake, snapping turtle, alligators galore, and numerous species of birds. If we ever come to the area again we would do the more extreme wet walk with these wonderful folks now that we love and appreciate the region. Thanks you Wild Lime Adventures.

My wife and I very much enjoyed our excursion yesterday. The air boat trip and the Ten Thousand Islands boat trip were our favorite parts, but the entire day was fun and informative. Our guide, Abigail, was extremely knowledgeable and very personable.

Abigail picked us up at our Hotel and The Adventure began. We had a wonderful time. She was so informative. Great Fun/Personality. Had a great group of people that were on this trip that booked. Stopped at a little road side for lunch that was a treat. Nature at its best and the very Qualified person to show and tell us about out it.

This tour was absolutely fantastic and a large part of that was due to our guide, Abigail. My goodness that young woman is so knowledgeable and so enthusiastic. HIGHLY recommend this trip!

This was an amazing, well-planned trip out of Naples, FL. Our guide, Abigail, was very informative and engaging. She gave us so much knowledge about the Everglades, birds, animals and plants that we saw, but also about the history of the places we visited as well as the history of the Everglades and how past generations have attempted to tame it. This tour is so important as it helps you understand how important this area is to the entire State and how we need to protect it for future generations. I highly recommend this tour!

Armando, our guide, is a zoologist and knew a lot about the Everglades due to growing up here. He was able to share a lot about the history of the area. Very amazing experiences seeing many animals and wildlife. Also learned about the plants and what is helpful and harmful in plants. Great day. Highly worthwhile!!

My husband and I felt as if we were on a Floridian Safari. So much nature all around us. From in the water to flying above and everything in between. Florida is teaming with wildlife and our guide Abigail was very personable and knowledgeable of the eco systems we were introduced to in our full day tour. The tour was everything we expected plus more Lunch was delicious too BTW Abigail kept us on schedule and we never felt rushed. The airboat through the grass river with Capt Randy was very educational. The speed boat ride through the 10,000 Isands was fun and we did get to see a dolphin and spend a little time on one of the islands where we found a couple of amazing shells. Our walking tour through the Big Cypress forest was a treat where we saw bromeliads and orchids growing on the trees. A few turtles allowed us a peek and we saw how the roots of the Cypress trees grow back up through the surface for better stability to withstand the hurricane season. We saw and learned a lot during our full day tour. Well worth the time and money spent

Abigail, a marine biologist and experienced tour leader, made this trip! Her passion and enthusiasm enhanced every sighting. Giant flocks of wading birds-heron, egrets and the rare roseate spoonbill- were just the start. Airboat tour, walking tour and boat tour each revealed a myriad of wildlife and plants. The baby dolphin swimming and playing in our wake was a highlight. Abigail shared her vast knowledge of the history, culture and environmental impact of the area with our small group . If you want to experience the Everglades, this is the trip!

The whole day was a pleasure. The arrangements and organization were seamless, the comfort level good, and the price right. The activities were fun and interesting, and we were given the right amount of time for them, as well as for rest stops and lunch. But the best part was undoubtedly the running commentary and teaching from Abigail, the tour leader. She had an endless trove of information about the animals, the plants, and the history of the communities and the Everglades. I learned so much! She was also just warm, friendly and extremely capable, so that I felt I was in good hands. I don’t have the greatest health (poor endurance, can’t tolerate heat) but this trip, while a little challenging because of the sun and the length of the trip, was well balanced and very doable. There were ample opportunities for rest, and I could have stayed in the van at any time, if I had had to (my only complaint is that the air conditioning was not very strong for the heat of the day). I felt very well taken care of, so that all I had to do was enjoy what we were doing and learn about the Everglades. Kudos to Abigail and the tour.

Our family of four had an unforgettable time on our nature tour with Abigail! We saw and learned a ton about the different habitats of the Everglades. Abigail was a great guide: knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to spend the day with. The two boat rides were a real highlight: alligators, dolphins, and more birds than I remember. The hikes helped to connect the dots and make us understand the broader Everglades ecosystem. This was a great way to spend the day and see more of Florida than just beaches and amusement parks. I highly recommend it!

Abigail, our tour guide, was super knowledgeable and overall awesome. The whole day was really fun for the whole family - including our 9 & 12 year olds! Would highly recommend this tour, our family walked away with so many amazing memories. And snacks and lunch was included. 5 stars all the way!!!

This trip is a must-do for anyone on or near Marco Island, and was truly a highlight for our family. We had a group of six family members ranging from age 8 to 70. Everyone had an amazing experience and learned so much. Abigail, our guide, was outstanding. She was knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic. Her communication style is clear and engaging - her passion for conservation and the beauty of southwest Florida was contagious. The airboat ride was a highlight - we had a close encounter with two alligators, many birds, and fish. The boat tour of the 10,000 islands was another great experience- we saw dolphins and were able to explore one of the islands. We also enjoyed the nature walk. The pace of the trip was great - lots of stops, plenty of food, and a very comfortable van. Five stars for the quality of the trip and five stars for Abigail. Highly recommend this trip!

Please note this tour has a VERY misleading title. It DOES NOT take you to the National Park - it goes through the National Preserve. Very frustrated as we booked the tour expecting the National Park and now have not seen that. Note the comment about visitor centers is for the National Preserve. Abigail was our guide and very knowledgeable. Picked up over 45 minutes late so not sure what was cut short as it said the tour was 9 hours but still made it back in time. Typical air boat ride and ride through 10,000 islands were fun. Saw lots of gators and birds. Lunch was good at local restaurant - love it supports local business! Child approved snacks and drinks were provided.

Very capable and knowledgeable guide. Well designed tour— riding/sitting alternating with walking/standing. Sufficient bathroom breaks. Nice lunch from local eatery. Two great boat rides with local companies. Great samples of Everglades wildlife. Ready to go again!

Abigail was an excellent and knowledgeable guide- We learned so much about the history of the area and the multiple ecosystems within the Everglades- we had an entirely new perspective of the importance of this area. What an excellent opportunity from the West side of the park (Naples). Highly recommend this well organized full day tour!

If you are going to the Everglades, this trip is a “must do!” We learned so much about the Everglades while on this tour. And we saw dolphins and alligators and so many birds! Out guide, Abagail,” was the best. It’s a ten hour trip. We rode on an airboat snd a flat bottom boat with a big engine around the ten thousand islands. Then we hiked through a cypress canopy. We had a large range of ages on this tour and none of us got to tired from the tour. You won’t know what the Everglades is about without this this tour.

Abigail was such a well informed, personable & educational guide! Loved the two boat rides. Boardwalk hike was a highlight! Loved the hike and boat rides! Highly recommend this tour!

Abigail was very knowledgeable. We were able to experience multiple ecosystems and view wildlife and plants. Abigail was enthusiastic and ensured our tours went off trouble-free. Five stars for the everglades and 5 stars for Abigail.

Very informative guide Abigail She was very pleasant and nice and friendly. She explainedevertiing we saw and answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable.

Airboat ride was awesome, loved Cypress National Park, our guide , Abigail,was friendly, fun and very knowledgeable. Lunch at Joanie’s was such a treat- fast , courteous , delicious food and appreciated all the varied menu options. We gained an invaluable perspective of South Florida including history, topography, wildlife, and just the raw beauty of the area.

This family adventure was well worth the day to explore and learn about the wildlife, habitats, culture, history, of Everglades National park and Cypress Reserve by boat and land. Our guide Abigail made the tour even more enjoyable with storytelling her Everglade knowledge and eco passion. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Our family did a full day tour with Abigail. She was incredible!! So knowledgeable and personable! We learned so much! I was hesitant to spend the money but it was more than worth it! We are now sitting at dinner after the day raving about her and the incredible day we had. We also had dolphins follow us in the wake of a boat for about 20 minutes! Experience of a lifetime!

Abigail was our incredible guide. She was a positive, passionate, incredible marine biologist that excitedly shared her wealth of knowledge about the flora, fauna, culture, history, developments, attributes, future of the Everglades! We learned so much and the day flew by. She pointed out things we would have never seen on our own adventure. She brought it all to life and then entrusted us to become advocates for the Everglades!

We took the tour today with Abigail as our tour leader. We thoroughly enjoyed the all day tour. The airboat ride was exceptional! We saw lots of alligators and birds! At the Reid Center board walk we saw snakes and learned a great deal about the different trees and vegetation, including their different needs for water. Abigail is very knowledgeable and has a great way of communicating the knowledge in a fun and active manner; very passionate about her work. We saw manatees at one stop and dolphins chased our boat during our tour of the thousand islands area. Gary our boat captain of the island tour was also very knowledgeable of the area as he was born and raised on the water. Abigail did an excellent job of educating each of us on the need to protect this special place here in southwest Florida. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see animals in their natural habitat!

Excellent day while learning valuable details about the Everglades. Was great to be picked up at resort front door. Abigail was extremely knowledgeable regarding wildlife and history of area. Both boat rides were once in a life experience. Peaceful, beautiful piece of paradise.

Wildlime adventures to the Everglades was well planned and executed. Day was full and kept interesting by an eclectic itinerary. Tour guide Abagail was informative and personable. Great job by all and a shout to Abagail!

My wife and I had an excellent time with this tour. I appreciated that it was led by biologists who care about the area and they provided a great history background of Florida and the everglades. We saw some alligators during the fanboat tour, had a small pod of dolphins (including a baby) follow us on the boat tour, and tried our best to see some manatees but they were hiding that day. Overall, a great way to spend the day with friends and family.

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Naples. Abigail, our guide, did an excellent job. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and shared her love of the region with us. I would highly recommend this tour.

This day will be the highlight of our Marco Island trip this year. It's an all day (10 hrs) trip that is well planned and lead by a most knowledgeable guide. From stop to stop everything went according to plan and each was explained thoroughly. I learned a lot about this area of Florida. Highly recommend!!

What a super fun day. This time of year (April) turns out to be very suitable for this trip. We have seen a lot of alligators and dolphins! Lindsay did the tour with super enthusiasm. Great! Only we were not picked up at our hotel as promised. For this, we got $30 back and an apology, so fine solution. But it is useful to keep in mind that your hotel may not be in the pick-up zone.
