I booked a full day walking and kayaking tour, and the experience has been fantastic. Garl is a very friendly and entertaining guide.
The tour consisted of four main events
(1) A stunning walk in knee-deep water trough sawgrass and little forests. Garl picked the route based on the physical abilities of the group of guests – in my case this lead to a rather long walk which was very exciting.
(2) A sweet water kayaking tour which was stunning. Travelling alone, one could very easily get lost on one the kayaking tracks, but with Garl (which seems to know every corner of the glades) you can completely relax and enjoy the nature
(3) A salt water kayaking tour. This is a little less exotic than the other events, but also definitely worth doing. We saw a stunning sunset as well as loads of fish and birds.
(4) A night walk in knee-deep water. The atmosphere out there in the dark was fascinating.
During these four events, Garl answered every question we had and always tried to adjust the tour to our interests. It is an absolute must do for every traveller, which is a bit adventurous and fit enough for a day of walking and kayaking.
Garl explained before the tour stated that during this time of the year it is rather unlikely to see a lot of wildlife. Indeed, we did not see as much as some may hope, but still saw a crocodile, lots of birds and fish, some small sharks, some alligators and more. Even though it seems to be very unpredictable at this time of the year where to find which animals, I can totally recommend doing the tour – the scenic views are stunning and Garls explanations are very interesting.
Before the trip, you’ll receive an email with a list of things you have to bring. Make sure to follow it, and you’ll have everything you need. Garl takes stunning pictures, which you can buy afterwards. If you still want to bring your own camera, make sure it is waterproof.
