My school takes 22-30 students each year on a National Parks trip. This year we chose Wild Lime Adventures to plan and lead our tour to the Everglades and Dry Tortugas. We chose right. Ben, the owner, was very responsive as we communicated back and forth about what we were looking for. Our trip was a Wed-Mon with four full days of adventure planned.
Our guides were Lindsay and Darren. They were full service. They picked us up at the airport and stayed with us the entire tour. They each have degrees in the science and are extremely knowledgeable about the vegetation, wildlife, and parks. We had 11 people on each van and had room for our luggage. ( 1 suitcase and backpack each).
Day one: Everything Everglades. A wet walk through a cypress dome, a 90 boat ride through the 10,000 islands mangrove forest.
Day two: drive to key west. Along the way we stopped at the Wild Bird Sanctuary, Robbie’s fish camp, and Bahia Honda State park. Once we arrived in Key West we visited the Ernest Hemingway house, the African Slave Memorial and the Southernmost Point.
Day three: Dry Tortugas National Park. This is a full day experience that you should hands down try if you ever have the opportunity. The snorkeling is unreal. The water was so clear!
Day four: we drove back to Fort Lauderdale. We had a kayak tour through mangrove channels and did a 1 hour snorkeling tour of Hens and Chickens reef. The snorkeling was out of this world! The fish and coral we saw was absolutely incredible. The kayak adventure was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable as well.
Day five: Airboat ride through Everglades sawgrass. We met “Gar” the gator and saw a lot of wildlife.
Our meals were planned at local favorites. If you are ever in Florida City/Homestead please go visit Fonda Familiar Mexican. We also ate at City Hall Bistro. In Key West we ate at El Siboney and Dante’s.
Our all inclusive experience with Wild Lime was top notch! You won’t be worry. Lindsay was my van driver and I cannot compliment her enough. She was professional, fun and informative!!! Our students had the trip of a lifetime. Darren, the driver of the other van, was kind, calm and so helpful. He always put our needs first.
Now stop reading and go book your trip!

Absolutely stunning experience! It was my first tour with Wild Lime Adventures (WLA). Everything worked as swiss watch. WLA people were very responsive and helpful before, during and even after the adventure. We were a group of 5 and Lindsay was our guide. She is very knowledgeable about the local ecosystem and a pleasant person to deal with. On top of it she is great photographer. She made our day when she brought us on kayaks to a creek were we observed 4 adult and one baby manatees. The baby was playful and very curious, she was swimming along our kayaks ling time. Her mom was surely happy that her baby found a company to play with and she had some time for a short nap. Snorkeling around the coral reef in the afternoon was exciting too, sharks, barracudas, jelly fish and countless colorful fishes.

We were guided by the concierge at our hotel to take the Wild Lime Eco tour of the Everglades rather than the one we had in mind, and they were so right! The entire process of scheduling and pickup was seamless. Our guide and driver, Stacy, was such an incredible resource for information on the native peoples, the many Everglades eco systems, and the history of the area. Her outgoing and inclusive personality made the entire day very positive, enjoyable, and memorable. Our boat ride on the Everglades with Randy was incredible - he was also knowledgeable about all of the wildlife and history, and he was so flexible about exploring opportunities that presented themselves in the moment as we made our way through the ride. I would highly recommend any of the trips that Wild Lime offers. In addition to the superb knowledge their naturalists possess and the extensive preplanning they have done, they add little perks such as providing a water bottle, cold water to refill the bottle, snacks, sunscreen, and ear protection for the noise of the boat motor. They have thought of everything!

I arranged a tour for 29 business associates to the Everglades this week. Working with Stacy and Ben on the set up was easy and comfortable. The trip was well organized, fun and enlightening. They are great and I strongly recommend Ben and Stacy for any kind of an eco-tour in South Florida. They know their stuff!
