Top Florida Safaris

Went first ride of the day and good thing! But being on the airboat was very comfortable even on a hot, humid day in summer. Loved the birds, flowers, dragonflies and of course the baby gators. The Animal Park was a pleasant surprise. Watched the vet and animal specialist work with a 7 foot gator, snakes,and reptiles. Saw Capybaras and lenurs, Bat Fox earing. Fwd the birds by hand. Definitely go!

If you want to have an incredible experience, you should definitely take this tour with Troy! He picked us up at the hotel, making our lives so much easier than schlepping around Key West to get somewhere on time in an unfamiliar city. We headed out in his extremely comfortable (wonderfully air conditioned!!)van. He gave us restaurant tips along the way, pointed out things that the average tourist might not be aware of and shared the fascinating history about the early days of the Keys. We crossed over several bridges as we traveled through the Keys, getting an interesting lesson on the environment and ecosystems of the region. At Bahia Honda State Park, we saw an historic railroad bridge, iguanas (pretty exciting for city people!), and had time to dip our toes into the amazingly warm water of both the Gulf and Atlantic. From there, we went to Deer Key, where deer just wander through the neighborhood (again, pretty thrilling for city people!). We opted to skip the walk on the 7 mile bridge, but driving over it was thrilling. Our final stop was the Blue Hole. It was a quiet, magical place, with birds and other wildlife. After that, we spent the time being driven back to our hotel, chatting and sharing stories about places we’ve been (Troy is a fascinating guy, with some really interesting stories about living in Alaska and the times he’s sailed all over the world). We both really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to everyone!

Make sure you wear insect repellant as partner was bitten a couple of times. Well worth the visit. Lots to see and opportunities to pull over to take a picture (from inside your car) then the gator park which you walk around, very good. Get some gator food to feed them, fun to do.

This tour started at our hotel in downtown Miami (Hilton). Häagen was our driver and tour guide. I got a text via Viator saying they would pick us up at the hotel at 7:30am and he was there at the exact time. He was an excellent driver and guide. Very friendly and helpful. He gave us info on what we were seeing downtown while we picked up other people. We only had 9 people on a Banana Joe tour bus that could have held 18-20. We got to Everglades Holiday Park 30 minutes before our airboat tour was to start, plenty of time for restroom breaks and a quick stop in the gift shop. He picked up our wristbands for the airboat for us and we were #1. He explained how the day would go and that he would be there when the tour was over. The airboat held about 25 people and was covered. Be very careful getting in and out of the boat. You have to duck your head to get in or out and the floor of the boat has ridges that can trip you. We saw 3 gators on the tour which they said was a little low but that’s nature for you. After the tour Haagen was there and handed us the group photo that had been taken before the boat ride. The photo was included in the admission. He told us there was an alligator show next and that we would leave on the bus at 11:45am. The show was a single guy talking about the gators in the little stage/habitat and he spent about 10 minutes interacting with one. Very interesting and at certain times amazing how calm he was and the gator was. After the show we had 20 minutes to use the restroom and/or shop. We boarded the bus at 11:15am and dropped everyone off at their hotels. If you get Haagen as your tour guide you will be very pleased. He is from Germany and has been here 18 years and is very friendly and helpful.

It was great Captain John was awesome as well music, it did go out for a bit, but he fixed it, also did get wet. If that’s what your looking for definitely will an ait more in back of the sea rocket. Id have to say parking is a little crazy, one person was 20 a car next car was 10 dollars an we were told to tell whoever was out there at ticket collect we were on sea rocket, she, was one rude, an two there should have better communication with the resort.

Justin , our airboat captain was friendly, considerate and a good boat driver. We so enjoyed our off the beaten path boat ride. Beautiful scenery with some local wildlife sunning on logs. Birds flying and a couple in their nest feeding their baby bird. This ride was both relaxing and invigorating. So glad we included this tour in our trip.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Lime Adventures. The entire day was incredibly well organized, and we received so much interesting and valuable information throughout the tour. The walk through the forest was truly refreshing — breathing in the pure, healthy air felt amazing. After coughing a few times, I genuinely had the impression that my lungs were completely cleared, and I could breathe deeply and freely again. It was such a revitalizing feeling. We saw a wide variety of animals, which made the experience even more special. Every moment felt authentic and close to nature. The highlight for me was definitely the boat cruise — seeing so many dolphins in their natural habitat was simply unforgettable. A truly wonderful day that we will remember for a long time. I highly recommend this experience!

We were assigned the same guide on our drive to and from the Everglades Park. It was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the area and give us some great tourist tips. Rolando was an excellent guy would be happy to work with him again. Be prepared for any kind of weather! Overall worthwhile excursion highly recommended
