Full Day Everglades Wet Hike & Adventure

Highlights

Description

Discover the Everglades as few ever do on the Full Day Everglades Wet Hike & Adventure — a small-group, eco-certified journey combining water, land, and cultural exploration. Guided by Florida Master Naturalists and Native family partners, this immersive experience introduces travelers to the Everglades’ hidden beauty and biodiversity through three unforgettable activities. Begin your morning with a wet hike through cypress domes and sloughs, a signature Wild Lime Adventures experience. Wading through pristine waters under cathedral-like trees, your naturalist points out orchids, ferns, and bromeliads while interpreting signs of wildlife — from herons to alligators — that thrive in this thriving ecosystem. After the hike, transition to a VIP airboat ride that ventures deep into the River of Grass. Led by a Native family with generations of local knowledge, this adventure goes far beyond the standard airboat experience. Glide quietly over shimmering water to reach secluded tree islands, once home to Native village life. Learn about the land’s cultural significance and its vital role in modern conservation. Your afternoon unfolds aboard a 10,000 Islands boat trip, where dolphins, manatees, and seabirds bring the coastal Everglades to life. As your captain weaves through mangrove channels and open bays, you’ll hear stories of the area’s history and witness the stunning meeting point of freshwater and ocean. Along the way, enjoy a hearty lunch in Everglades City, as well as snacks and drinks provided throughout the day. Hotel pickup, park entry, and all gear are included — making this an effortless yet deeply meaningful experience. Perfect for adventurous travelers, families, and photographers, this tour delivers a full-day immersion into Florida’s most iconic wilderness — where water, wildlife, and culture converge in harmony.
