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.
