We are a family with two moderately fit, middle-aged adults and two sporty boys ages 12 and 15. We did only half a day and were initially apprehensive about walking knee-deep in the Glades but... That turned out to be the best part of our tour. Absolutely awesome! So interesting and exciting. Getting to the Cypress domes, spotting a gator or snakes (worry none, absolutely safe), enjoying fantastic views of thousands of bromeliads and orchids. We really enjoyed kayaking the 9-mile pond but the walk was the true highlight of the tour. The mosquito suits kindly provided by our guide offered extra comfort. Kids didn't have water shoes and were offered a fitting pair each. Jeffrey, our guide, was very knowledgeable and exactly the right person for the job. He made us all feel very comfortable and made sure we saw as much wildlife and interesting plants as possible. We've done many things during our 2-week Key Largo vacation (just about everything the keys have to offer) but the tour with Garl's was the true highlight we will never forget. Highly recommend to anybody who loves and enjoys nature. No special skills, experience, or fitness level required (although, having a decent balance will help you stay on your feet during the walking part and in the kayak when on water). Great fun and experience.

We recently spent 3 weeks touring the SE USA and our trip to the Everglades with Garl's was perhaps the highlight. Our guide, Geoffrey, was enthusiastic, informed, and passionate about his role in educating the public and protecting the Everglades. He was clear that we shouldn't expect comfort, but we should expect an adventure. He was careful in managing the experience for our diverse group of two parents and girls aged 16, 14, and 12. We suited up in mosquito gear and trudged through swamp; we kayed 5 miles in shallow water, and we watched a lightning-lined sunset sipping drinks in our kayaks. We saw manatee, gators, American crocodiles, roseate spoonbills, tarpon, lemon sharks, sawfish, and countless other species. We paid $750 for a nine-hour experience for five people. What a value!

We visited the Keys recently and I had picked out kayaking with Garl long before we left for the trip. My boyfriend and I are both nature lovers and work in the field of biology so this was high on my list of activities to do. He took us into the Everglades and showed us all the things he loves about it. He was very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm for the "Glades" showed! We were hoping to make it out into Florida Bay but the weather conditions were too windy, so that was a little disappointing. Hopefully people reviewing this will get to experience that because the water looks amazing! The highlight of the trip for me was kayaking through the mangroves with alligators all around us! A little scary (one came up underneath my kayak and hit its head) but also exciting. We also got to see the elusive crocodile, wood storks, and many other cool birds. I would definitely recommend going with Garl over any of the other outfitters!
