Recently we took Garl's full day tour of the Everglades, which involved hiking and kayaking on Nine Mile Pond. Garl showed us a nest of two young red shoulder hawks, many impressive snakes (his specialty), alligators, and more alligators, beautiful roseate spoonbills, woodpeckers, and tree frogs. Garl obviously loves what he does and as a result you have a lot... More

My scuba trip was postponed due to weather so I was looking for something else to do and was referred to Garl. It was an amazing trip. We did the whole-day Everglades tour. The day was split between kayaking and walking. We saw a ton of 'gators, many at arms length distance, birds, snakes, flowers and beautiful vistas. The group... More

I recently went on a full day tour of the Everglades with Garl and had a wonderful time. He took us into some really neat spots to see areas of the park that I definitely would never have gotten to on my own. As a field biologist, many tours of this sort are not really interesting enough to keep my... More

Garl's Coastal Kayaking - An amazing outfitt that tailored 3 days and 2 nights of kayaking and everglade exploring. Rob Clift did an amazing job getting all of our gators in a row making sure we had the correct food, supplies and equipment. Thanks Rob, you made it so easy for us get what we needed where we needed it... More

They have all enjoyed it, and no need to be fit or know how to kayakk, Garl will help you and you will have an experience... More

Wow, that was one of the coolest things I've done while in Florida. I've been on the fan boat tours and done my own walking along some of the walkways along Alligator alley but this was something totally different. We walked straight in the glades, right off the road in the Everglades park. Straight into the reeds at specific areas... More

Garl's half-day kayaking and hiking tour of the Everglades was fantastic. We saw an amazing diversity of plants and wildlife (orchids, mangroves, alligators, snakes, owls, osprey, storks, kites, spoonbills, pelicans, etc.). We certainly got our money's worth; Garl's "half day" went from 10 am to 6 pm. To anyone considering this trip, I recommend bringing along some food (we didn't... More

What a great trip! When you book the full day hiking-kayaking tour, that's exactly what you get. My husband and I and another couple were picked up by Garl at 10am and got back around 9:30pm! We started with a stop at the local tropical fruit stand, then two hikes, mangrove swamp kayaking, sunset kayaking on the bay, then a... More

I would have to say that Garl lives up to his reputation of wilderness man. I went with his tour while my parents were visiting me in Key Largo. I wanted to show my parents the outstanding beauty of the Everglades in the real way that I had experienced while working for Outward Bound. It was amazing! Our day was... More
