Kayaking Adventure in the Everglades - Garl is so sweet, passionate and knowledgeable. You can tell he truly cares for the land and loves what he does. Walking through the cypress grove in hip deep water was such a cool experience. My husband and I had amazing bird watching and saw one of our bucket list birds, the spoonbill. Not only that but we ended with salt water kayaking at sunset where there were THOUSANDS of birds about to fly back to an island for the night. It was truly magical to witness. Also you HAVE TO get some fruit and a smoothie from Robert is Here (the meeting spot). They'll slice up the fruit for you and it's out of this world.

Amazing trip, must do - The trip was amazing. We had a great time with Garl and Zack, they explained everything and answered every question we had. They also took some great pictures of all of us, so you don't even have to worry about that. We also felt really safe with them, you can tell that they know what they are doing. The full day trip is perfect for seeing as much as you can and having completely different experiences througout the day.
Defenitely would recommend doing that, you are missing something if you don't.

Breathtaking experience, so beautiful! - Amazing tour, especially walking through the mangroves in close vicinity to alligators was a breathtaking experience, thank you so much, Garl! With Garl we always felt save even with the alligators’ eyes on us. Kayaking was also fun, we enjoyed the labyrinth of little canals very much, nature is so special in the Everglades - and I guess you miss most of it if you just drive through the park on your own. Therefore: strong recommendation, book with Garl!

Walking and kayaking through a variety of ecosystems. From cypress dome to the Gulf of Mexico at sunset ❤️🧡💛🩵💙 - Garl and Zach were a fantastic combo on our gorgeous trip through 3 different ecosystems in the Everglades. They were both super knowledgeable, approachable and fun. We felt at ease in their presence even as we approached gators! We learnt loads about the variety of plants and animals living in this super precious national park. We wouldn’t have known where to start without Garl in-depth knowledge of the area, its history and variety. Thank you for a wonderful, educational experience. My favourite was walking through the cypress dome with cool, refreshing clear water up to our knees with gorgeous blue skies above 💙🩵🤍💚🐊

Safe and fun! - Garl is a great guide. we were a little hesitant at first at the idea of kayaking and walking in knee deep water with the potential of enountering gators and crocs. once we got started we felt perfectly safe. it was a fantastic day. we can't say enough good things about Garl and his tour. we would do it again if we ever get back there.

A spectacular, expertly- guided tour through a seldom-seen part of the Everglades. - Garl & Zach are real experts and guides, and the tour was simply stunning. We started with a slog through the wetlands where we saw amazing flora, beautiful ferns, real live gators, and birds we never thought we'd see including the Anhinga. Garl has extensive knowledge of the area, and answered all our questions thoroughly. Wear comfortable, well-fitting water shoes, and enjoy the scenery, it's fabulous. Next we did the fresh-water kayaking, cruising through the mangroves & cat-tails, sampling the edible part of reeds, watching the fish, and getting insightful information from Garl & Zach. The kayaking was relaxing, fun, and easy, and we saw more gators on the way back to shore. Highly recommended! If you decide to go into the 'Glades, go with Garl & Zach. You'll be glad you did.

Awesome with an Over-The-Top Experienced Guide - Beyond belief! Not being much of a "tromp through water" person, I am so grateful we took this tour. Garl's knowledge and experience allowed me to completely relax and enjoy nature in a way I never would have. After the hike through the Everglades, we Kayaked through the mangroves.
Even if you're not an 'outdoorsy' type person, I highly recommend Garl! **Go For It**

Best experience of our holiday in the USA - We stayed in the USA for just under 3 weeks. Starting in New York then to Florida. A super great trip. But honestly the best we could do was the tour in the Everglades with Garl. He is a super nice man and you feel very cared for with him and very safe. So also something for scared bunnies. ;-) I can highly recommend this tour. I will definitely come back there and take more time with me.
Thanks to Garl.

5 stars - We did this tour with 2 adults and a 7 & 9 year old. We all LOVED it and it was a highlight of our experience in the Everglades. We plan to return to again someday to do another tour with Garl. He is so knowledgeable and pleasant as a guide. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time.

Garl is Great - So fun! We learned so much about the Everglades. We felt safe and happy and well taken care of. Garl is so knowledgeable. All the alligators are known to him by name. Apparently April is the best time to go because the Everglades dries up a bit and all the alligators congregate in one or two spots. But it was fun in December to walk in the river. :)
