Everglades Nat'l Park Biologist Led Adventure Hike, Curise, Airboat + Lunch

Overview

All of our guides at Wild Lime Adventures are trained biologists or certified master naturalists. This is the only authentic and immersive tour of the Everglades. This tour is quite comprehensive as you will visit most of the unique habitiats found in the Everglades. We only experience animals in the wild! No animals in pens and cages. This is NOT a touristy tour. Also, there are many choices of tours out there but we are one of only a select few that actully hold a PERMIT to lead tours in the National Park. The NPS only gives these permits to top notch companies. Know before your Go! We are also Eco-certified as a true ecocpmpany with high standards of respect for the animals in the wild and the environment. Our tours are small groups but we can accomodate a large group or private tours if requested. WILD LIME ADVENTURES IS THE ONLY COMPANY TO HOLD SPECIAL PERMITS TO GUIDE TOURS IN EVERGLADES, BIG CYPRESS AND DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARKS.

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!!
