As mentioned in other reviews, this is the best way to explore the everglades! You can tell Garl loves his work and knows the area intimately and knows where to find the various creatures. Along with the kayaking, you get to hike to an alligator hole which is quite stunning (be sure to bring your camera!) He also stops at an interesting market where you can buy exotic fruits and snacks to bring along the trip. You never know what you are going to see from gators, salt water crocs, dolphin, sharks, and even a 14 foot long saw fish! Of course there are the dozens of native species of birds to see. It is a naturalist and wildllife photographer's delight. The trip is capped off with a breath taking sunset on the way back.
