A highlight of our Florida vacation - We had a great day with Garl and Zac. We liked the trek through the submerged cypress forest dome the best. It was an environment that we never thought we would ever be in until Garl led us there and educated us about the ecosystem. It was so cool. The kayaking was great too. We saw crocodiles, manatees, sharks and dozens of bird species. Highly recommend spending the day with Garl as long as you are capable of kayaking for a few hours.

Kayak / Hike adventures in the Everglades - We just did our 2nd trip with Garl's and is was equally as good our 1st trip which was outstanding. We did the hiking and kayaking and it was an adventure and very educational and enjoyable. Janice and I (Gary) learned a bunch about the Everglades, eco-system, wildlife, etc and saw a bunch of wildlife and unique plant life. We plan to bring our friends and go again and then bring our grandkids (13 and 15) and book another trip. I would rate the trip, guide and price a solid 5 (I would higher if the rating didn't max out at 5. We look forward to going again soon.

Wonderful and exciting! - Our Girl Scout troop of 7 fourteen year olds and 3 adults had an amazing time with Garl! He's super knowledgeable and great with the kids, while pushing them to do amazing things. He also had all kinds of Florida tall tales to tell our Californian kiddos that made the whole experience incredible. He's the greatest! Go with Garl!

Memorable day in Everglades - Hugely fortunate to be able to join Garl, at short notice, for a day in the Everglades and saltwater kayaking. Garl is a remarkably knowledgeable and experienced guide. We really enjoyed all we were fortunate to see and do, and really enjoyed spending the day with Garl. You could not do better.

Incredible and unique experience - Garl is an incredible guide. You wait in the knee-deep mud in search of alligators and listen to the birds and the sounds of the forest. He knows every inch of the Everglades and has already worked with Steven Spielberg's film teams for documentaries. After that, we go on canoe trips to look for birds, alligators, dolphins and sharks ❤️ it was a day that I will never forget for the rest of my life. If you want to do an Everglades tour, then this is the only one. Because everything here is perfect from A to Z. Thank you Garl for this wonderful day 👍☀️

Best. Tour. EVER. - Garl and his tour were the absolute highlight of our trip to Florida. My partner and I can't stop thinking about our experience—we're already figuring out when we can come back and hit the Everglades with Garl again! Garl is so incredibly knowledgable and affable, as one could expect after almost 30 years of experience. It was an honor to spend a day with him in his "office," as he puts it. We did a full day tour, hiking and kayaking. We were awed by the flora and fauna we saw. The Everglades are far more beautiful and enchanting than I could have dreamed.
Truth be told, I was very concerned about hiking through the Everglades... all for naught! I, very new to Florida's wilderness, convinced myself that leeches, bugs, and snakes would be a concern. If you're like me, please rest assured that nothing will bother you on Garl's watch, especially not leeches :)
Do yourself a favor and book a tour with Garl! I can guarantee you will NOT regret it. We can't wait until the next time we get to visit the Everglades and see Garl again. Until next time, Garl!

Amazing day tour in the Everglades - This trip was a great adventure - we did two walks in the swamps, and two kayak rides. Garls is a great guide, he knows all alligators ny name and their behavior. It was really amazing to see them so close in their natural environment. We learnt a lot about the animals and the plants in the Everglades. The final Kayak ride into the sunset was a great experience, too. We observed little sharks, flamingos, crocodiles and many more in a quiet and peaceful environment. Perfect day with many many great momories, we can only recommend this!
