Purveyors of Uncommon Adventures
The South Florida most visitors never see.
Private expeditions through the hidden history, living culture and wild ecology of Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and the Everglades. By appointment, for more than three decades.
Uncommon by design.
Dragonfly Expeditions is the oldest and most prestigious tour company in South Florida. For more than three decades we have hosted distinctive tours and excursions for corporate groups, individuals and small parties, uncovering and sharing the hidden, mysterious and magical beauty, culture, history and ecology of the region.
We are an exclusive, by-appointment-only operator, working primarily with groups of ten or more. Every expedition is led by certified, trained guides, and a portion of many tours goes directly to local preservation and conservation efforts.

What sets a Dragonfly expedition apart
Guides who wrote the book
Historians, naturalists and field biologists. Certified, trained, and often the authors of the very tours they lead.
Doors that stay closed to others
Exclusive interior access to the historic Biltmore Hotel, private gardens by appointment, and lantern-lit entry to places the public never sees.
Every trip gives back
A share of profits from many expeditions goes directly to local preservation, conservation and wildlife rescue organizations.
Built for groups
Two staff on every vehicle, guide ratios that never exceed our published limits, and logistics that start and end at your hotel.
