We had an incredible time with Garl. He picked us up at noon, and served us for a full 8 hours. Our family of four (kids ages 9 and 11) had the adventure of a lifetime. Experiences will vary based on the weather and season. For us, we started at an alligator hole, and slogged/hiked through the spot, seeing alligators, owls, birds, and snakes. Garl took pictures with his high powered camera and shared them with us as part of our tour. Next we drove further into the Everglades and kayaked through the freshwater mangroves, seeing alligators and other wildlife. We then drove to the very southern tip of Florida and the Everglades, and kayaked out into the Florida Bay in hopes of seeing sharks. The wildlife did not cooperate here, but as we returned to the marina, we saw crocs and manatees! Finally, we stopped at a boardwalk as it was getting dark. Garl provided flashlights to see the alligators as they were really getting active at night. The pictures he shared and the day we experienced are priceless. It is an amazing adventure.
