Voyage V

Go there if you want to have some magic in the eyes and a wonderful experience being part of nature ! Don’t miss the fantastic (and sadly endangered) Everglades! Don’t go there if you are in a rush, or not sensitive to nature and environment, or not patient (wildlife does not come in front of you like in a zoo!). Meeting point at 12 for about 12 hours of activity until night, 150$ / people. Group of 8, pretty lucky to have Garls himself as guide! A passionate guide, walking barefoot, expert in Everglades wildlife and knows the spots where to find animals. What is included: All the group gathers in the same big car. Mosquito repellant is provided, little leaflet in the car showing the most commons animal species to see. Wine provided for sunset. Recommendation: Be curious and ask questions to enjoy Guide’s knowledge! Good level of English required (don’t imagine getting an audioguide, you’re in the middle of nature :) ) Bring a camera that you don’t fear to lose or get wet (or protect it !) otherwise you will spend the time being worried about it Bring 1 bottle of water / person, bring fruits to hydrate (the ones sold at “Robert is here” are simply excellent), light clothes and shoes to walk in water. Our experience: Very dry and low level of water, very hot weather = not the best conditions to see wildlife. A lot of interesting comments from our guide tough, on trees, ecosystem, we managed to see various birds, 2 alligators, an alligator nest, a tortle and snakes during the day. Walk through water and sawgrass, then through water and cypresses Kayaking among mangroves, then close to ocean + sunset (brackish water) Nightwalk (we saw 1 crocodile, spiders, snakes..) What we liked best : this magic touch being immersed in the middle of nature, passion from the guide. Feeling of a unique type of visit, nothing comparable to a “trolley” tour or any other “safe” visit. What we liked least: weather conditions not best to see wildlife, and somehow we were wondering about the 'business-side' of this kind of visit (probably routine speech, as guide seem not deeply interested in our reflections or comments?). Last but not least: guide takes a lot of pictures during the day, and sends them per email..but seems to cost extra if you want them.

We went with Garl before he was famous! We did the everglades tour. It was fantastic! He did the best job and was the nicest guy! The trip was amazing. That was almost six years ago. Well we decided to do the snorkel tour this past Saturday and were lucky enough to to get Garl as our guide. Once again, a fantastic day! Thank you Garl and Suzett for everything. If you are going to the Keys make sure you do both trips. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to go back again. They go out of their way to make your experience wonderful. I will remember these times forever. What an adventure. Thank you Garl!

The drought in the Southern Everglades limited the available wildlife, but Karl worked hard to find it. (Water levels were at least a foot below normal.) We "slogged" to several cypress mounds looking for gators - found one. Others members of the tour had decided to come at last minute so were not properly dressed for walking in the sawgrass or the shallow river which is the Everglades; Karl provided them with mosquito suits and water shoes. After a break for lunch, we kayaked on the Bay of Florida for about three hours. As a novice kayaker, the experience was great - saw manatees and gators. The rest of the group departed as they were half-day and Karl and I then embarked on fresh water kayak for another couple of hours. In addition to several gators, Karl pointed out the local vegetation that was part of the gators' diet. After loading the kayaks on the trailer and heading towards the park exit, Karl suggested a night walk. Using flashlights, it was easy to find the eyes of various creatures; we located at least a dozen gators in this manner. After almost twelve hours, we headed home. My only disappointment was that we never found a crocodile.
