Garl was recommended to my fiance and me by an environmentalist in the Keys. Any fear I might have had of snakes and gators was diminished by his knowledge of their habits and surrounding habitat. If you like going places without a lot of tourists, doing a little hiking and a lot of kayaking, you'll love this day spent with Garl among the cypress trees, mangroves, birds, and ending with the sunset over the saltwater marshes. Be warned--there are other tour groups out there that can show you where the gators live and put a kayak in the water for you but they don't really have an understanding of protecting the life in the Everglades. Garl is the real deal and worth every penny.
