We booked a full-day trip having never kayaked before. My husband and I absolutely loved our day! It was amazing. Garl is so knowledgable about the Everglade's plant and wildlife. In addition to learning so much, Garl is just about the nicest person you ever want to meet. We will never forget our day and would like to go again. We are in our mid-fifties, never kayaked before and had too much fun to worry about anything. We always felt safe. Garl knows the area like the back of his hand. I would recommend deep woods off for the mosquitoes though. I highly recommend this adventure!!
