As everyone else has said - you cannot go wrong with Tour the Glades. Tod is the friendliest, most knowledgeble guy and you feel 100% safe and at ease with him. He was prepared for everything, and it took very little time to get used to the tandem kayak my fiance and I were in (good for taking photos while... More

After our first rainy days in Florida we (34 and 35, from Hamburg, Germany) were lucky and had a very nice day out in the glades. We started at 8am on a beautiful Friday morning with our kajaks and immediately watched herons nesting. Mangrove tunnels and ponds were on our way and we got plenty of information on the eco-system.... More

This was our first time ever kayaking. Tod assured us going on the sunrise tour was worth getting up for and it did not disappoint. From being given headlights to wear in the darkness to Tod pointing out the red eyes of the gators lurking in the water... It was dark for only the first hour of our trip and... More

We are a family of 5 - 2 adults and 3 kids - 13,10,9. Looking for some serious family bonding time? If you are looking to get down to eye-level and be 'one' with nature? This is the absolute BEST way to see the Everglades. Yes, we did the airboat tour - whizzing by things at 50 MPH. There is... More

We had a wonderful kayak adventure with Todd. A family of four with limited experience mangaged to negotiate mangrove tunnels, open waters with fish jumping all around us, wonderful bird watching, and amazing close ups with some pretty enormous alligators! Todd was informed, encouraging, fun and reassuring all at once. He clearly knows the terrain and is very respectful of... More

The Kayak tour with Tod was definitely the highlights of our Florida trip. Tod is a very nice guy, who knows everything about the glades and its wildlife. We went kayaking off the usual tourist routes and did not meet any other people in that area. Tod also had a couple of recommendations for restaurants and other stuff to do... More

So you sin up for the tour. The 4 hour sunset one at that. 4 hours in your single kayak with two women, family members no less, each in their own. Some guy named Tod, an LA apostate born and raised in Ft. Myers, a near certain recipe for cruel and unusual punishment. Sure he says, come early, eat at... More

We had a superb time with Tod, kayaking thru the Everglades. We appreciated the private tour (they all are with Tod), so we went at our pace. We took the tour out to the ten thousand islands, so kayaked right beside the alligators, thru the mangrove tunnels, across ponds and out across the bay to Shell island. Tod was great... More

We booked a full day tour with Todd to go kayaking and hiking for our family of 4 (children 14 and 11), and what an unbelievable day our entire family had with Todd. Our day started off with an awesome Kayak adventure where Todd had our 11 year old son in his Kayak, 14 year old daughter in her own,... More
