Excellent experience. Our guide, Julia, was knowledgeable, energetic and engaging. This was the full day adventure that included dry nature walk to old cypress mound, motor boat around the 10,000 islands and the airboat through the Everglades. The boat guide, Tristan, was very good host. We saw dolphins, spoonbills, egrets, old alligators, baby alligators. Even got to hold a baby alligator! Highly recommend this if you want to experience the Everglades.

I had the pleasure of going on a tour with Lindsay Lewis and it was an amazing experience. She was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining, bringing great energy to the group. Some highlights of the day included seeing alligators, manatees, petting a crocodile, and most memorably, seeing a baby dolphin and her mother swim alongside our boat. It was truly a worthwhile day, and I am grateful to have been a part of it.

Zack was great. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the different animals and areas he was showing us. The boat ride with Tristan and Wylder was great. We saw a bunch of wildlife and each captain answered questions and gave insight into the different places they took us. Would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the everglades and surrounding national preserves.

These guys are the best evre. Julia is a gem and so helpful. Met every expectation. They went the extra mile for us. Ubered us to the pick-up site and back to our hotel at noextra cost. I loved this tour. Highly recommend it to everyone. Not just a tour to see the Evergaldes, but helps you understand the interaction of the Earth, the animals and man over a 400 million time period. So interesting and explains all these changes and evolution of the origins of the state of Florida.

The experience was in 2 part. First, the small walk with a biologist. She really know a lot about the environnment and the park. Really interested !
For the airboat with Tigertail, we stoped at a old pontoon. Here the airboat guide show us animals on captivity. A 1-2m crocodile on a 2m pool without structure. Just a pool with a branch. Didn't have space, didn't have sun. Same for baby alligator, turtles and exotic turtles.
Installation was durty, I didn't see food for animals. Turtles need plants to eat. Didn't see plants to.
He proposed us to tuch the crocodile and was so happy to said us "in Florida it's illegal but here we can it's a reserve". Why do you think it's illegal ? Maybe because it's cruel ?
He said "it's a rescue center". I working with rescue center in Canada and it's not one for sure. This animals didn't need help, they need to go on a real rescue center or on the environnment.
We are far than a eco tour sorry

Really cool experience! Our tour guide, Stacey, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and super willing to answer any questions we had! The tour reminded me of the diversity of life on this planet and educated me of the history of the Indian tribes here. While doing some activities, we had local tour guides as well so it was fun to get multiple perspectives. I also didn’t realize that we got both an air boat and motor boat ride, so that was fun. I appreciated that they handled all transportation for us so I didn’t need a car rental. I felt they did a good job managing that.

How often can you take a tour of one of the world's most unique ecosystems with a guide who was previously a Marine Biology professor and researcher? I think this may be the only tour company that offers such a unique experience. Our guide, Stacy, was the best tour guide I've ever had, and the tour, itself, it structured to give you tons of great experiences and information throughout. Stacy's deep respect for people of Miccosukee Indian tribe and the environment are evident throughout the tour. If you only do one tour while in South Florida, do this one!

I took the Wild Lift Adventures full day tour to Everglades National Park on 8Apr24 which included an airboat ride, a second boat ride and a couple of hikes/walks. I got to hold a baby alligator, and saw many alligators including baby alligators in the wild, a crocodile, dolphins, herons, an anhinga with a fish in its mouth, a stork, an osprey nest with a visible baby, turtles, 2 snakes and lot of nature. It was a great day spent in the park. Abigail was our tour guide, and she was very knowledgeable and made sure all of us on the tour had a very enjoyable day. She knew about the history of the park as well as the wildlife and plants we saw in the park. Definitely an enjoyable time!!
