What a great trip! When you book the full day hiking-kayaking tour, that's exactly what you get. My husband and I and another couple were picked up by Garl at 10am and got back around 9:30pm! We started with a stop at the local tropical fruit stand, then two hikes, mangrove swamp kayaking, sunset kayaking on the bay, then a night hike with flashlights. We saw snakes, birds, and at least 20-25 alligators...some REALLY up close! Garl takes pictures the whole time, capturing amazing moments and magazine-quality wildlife shots. You can get a CD with all the pictures on it for $30, and I think it's definitely worth the money. I would recommend this trip, or any of Garl's trips, to ANYONE wishing to experience the true wild side of the Florida Everglades!
