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.

We had a great time staff was friendly and knowledgeable we got to meet a baby ostrich and feed the giraffe very cool experience. The park is very clean and we’ll keep the animals are free to roam the grounds as they please and eat and drink whenever very peaceful. I would definitely recommend this place.

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.

Best experience I’ve done, it was so smooth. No hassle. They was so nice to me & explained everything to me. I would definitely do it again. & yes for those wondering bring a change of clothes lol their will be mud but driving through all that made it worth it & don’t worry at the end you get to get washed off.

Book ahead, we got very lucky booking a slot the night before. It was absolutely brilliant! A unique way to see Marco island, Glen was extremely informative with great humour and certainly had an eye for spotting any wildlife…. And much to my pleasant surprise, we saw a lot! The real bonus for me was just how many Burrowing Owls there were, something I’ve always wanted to see! I can imagine kids loving this too and they are certainly catered for, as are disabled. A great mix of learning some history of the area, having a nose at the beautiful mansions and the wildlife ( binoculars supplied too!) Very impressed, highly recommend

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!

This was a delayed Christmas present for our daughter and her family. They had a great time and the operator took into account their ages and how inexperienced they were in this new adventure. They enjoyed every aspect of the ride and loved seeing all of the different animals. Thank you for a successful present!

We took this tour with Captain Don this afternoon. It was me and my girlfriend and we are both 71. Turned out it was just the 2 of us and the experience was amazing. First, the boat is small but there were very comfortable cushioned seats. We stayed dry the entire time. Captain Don was a great guide. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and made short stops along he way to educate us about the birds we saw giving us great details about each one. We mentioned that we went on a shelling tour where our guide, although nice, knew nothing about shells. So Don brought out a special box of shells and told us in detail about each shell and how they were formed. I would highly recommend this tour and hope you get Captain Don as your guide.
