We will offer you a unique experience from the moment you arrive until the end, not only because of the tour but because of our detailed oriented personalized customer service. This guided tour will allow you to appreciate part of this beautiful city from a different perspective, from the buildings, mansions, and constructions, to the variety of wild-ocean life. The boats, cruises, and cargo ships can be seen all at once around the Ft. Lauderdale Port Everglades. If it’s your lucky day, which we know it will be, you can see dolphins, sharks, turtles, rays, manatees and more, while we are flying over the ocean, near the shoreline. You will be amazed at how closed these species can get to you when you are having fun at the beach. In general, flying in a helicopter generates different emotions, from facing your fears, to experiencing a high sense of amaze, gratitude, and happiness.

We rented paddle boards for 90 minutes with my husband and teenage daughter we are experienced on the water and with paddleboarding . We had a great time but 90 minutes is not enough time. Rent for the entire day and bring some snacks and take your time. The wind was really blowing the day we went too so we got quite a workout. Easy to find, friendly staff, and fun!

Thoroughly enjoyed the half day tour with Ben. After being picked up from our hotel, we drove ~45 minutes out to the Everglades for a nature walk followed by the airboat ride. Ben was very knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating, even providing some snacks and drinks throughout the day. We look forward to booking another tour with Wild Lime when we come back to the area, and would definitely recommend to friends.

This cruise was not worth $85. It was a small catamaran and crappy cash bar. There was a terrible rain storm 1/2 hour into the trip and they didn’t turn around prob bc they didn’t want to give us a refund. There was no place to stay out of the rain or to hold on bc it got quite rocky. People and crew were nice so we made the best of it but not worth it. They gave us open bar bc of weather but it was too rocky to hold a drink.
