Overview

Visit two national parks in a half day! Experience the remote estuary ecosystem of Everglades National Park and see dolphins near our boat! There is always the chance to spot manatees, critically endangered sawtooth fish and sharks. This is a birding hot spot and you may see roseate spoonbills and white pelicans. Get off on a remote island to explore while listening to the fascinating lore of the Old Everglades from your multi-generational captain guide. We will visit an historic trading post. This trip combines this saltwater region with the fresh water swamps of Big Cypress. Our tours are led by experienced biologist/naturalist guides. Our specialty is seeing wildlife where it should be experienced, in the wild! Never to places with animals in cages and pens. This tour combines history and ecology. See why we are so passionate about what we do! WILD LIME ADVENTURES IS THE ONLY COMPANY TO HOLD SPECIAL PERMITS TO GUIDE TOURS IN EVERGLADES, BIG CYPRESS AND DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARKS.

Awesome!!!

Published on Jan, 2025

Abigail was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. I will absolutely be recommending this tour and Abigail to my friends and family in the future.

Western Everglades Tour

Published on Mar, 2024

Our guide Abigail was a marine biologist and very definitely a people person. She was a wonderful knowledgeable guide . We enjoyed our day with her and we learned a lot about the diverse ecosystems of the Everglades. Highly recommended . Our tour entered from the west. We would like to do a tour from the east entrance someday..

Great hiking and boating trip in the Everglades.

Published on Mar, 2024

The trip with our guide, Abigail was fantastic. She was friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable on the full range of Everglade topics. Our boat ride was also great as several dolphins played in the wake of the boat right next to us. Take this trip, you will enjoy it.

We learned SO much, and I think we'll remember it because what we were learning about was right in front of us.

Published on Feb, 2024

I (Kami Day) really think everything was equally memorable. Michele and I have wanted to visit 10 Thousand Islands and the Everglades every since we read Shadow Country by Peter Mathiesson. We loved riding around among the islands, seeing the mangroves and birds, playing with the dolphins (very fun!); seeing the alligators and more birds (especially the wood stork) at the visitors' center; our walk through a bit of Big Cypress. We have continued to talk about all we learned about the trees, plants, prescribed burn, environment, etc. etc. I thought there was an awful lot of driving, and I wondered if Abigail was maybe overloading us with information, but we loved her enthusiasm and expertise and we have found we remember so much of what she taught us. We were fortunate to have a tour guide with so much expertise and knowledge. I cannot stop thinking about the Everglades as a slow-flowing river, about Lake Okeechobee and the fact that it should be able to empty freely into that river. The way I think about the Everglades is forever changed. I hope we get to take an airboat tour someday.

Great trip!

Published on Dec, 2023

This was a great excursion to see the 10,000 islands in the Everglades. Our guide, Abigail, was very attentive and knowledgeable. She was a gem! The boat ride was great and throughout the trip we saw lots of wildlife. Highly recommend this trip.
