We found Tod through trip advisor and were very pleased with our kayak trip. He took great care of us, giving us tips on places to eat and visit. He's an interesting and informed tour guide who was also patient with the slower members of our group. I would definitely call him again if I return to the area.

My wife and I had a wonderful day kayaking through the glades with Tod. We saw several gators, crabs and a lot of beautiful birds, including a newly hatched baby bird. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the beauty of the glades like no other way possible.

Tod is so passionate about nature and it shows. It was a bad weather day but he was fully prepared with equipment and we already had heard the forecasts so we were okay. We did the Kayak in the morning and the Hike in the afternoon to make a full day of it. We were 2 hours late!!!! We felt... More

Yo Tod - You are truely the modern version of "Tarzan of the Glades" From hiking the Fakahatchee to kayaking the glades at night to fossil hunting on the Caloosahatchee, our day and a half adventure was outstanding. We are all still talking about it ( yea, when you picked up the rat snake on the banks of the Caloosahatchee... More

The best part of our trip!!! We also signed up because of the wonderful reviews on Tripadvisor. The scheduling was done through emails and was very easy. We set up a meeting place and he was on-time (very important to my husband). We decided on the kayak tour which lasted about 4 hours. We also saw lots of herons, egrets,... More

If you are going to be in South Florida, you do not want to miss out on the opportunity to explore the Everglades with Tod! I just got back from my vacation and this experience far exceeded my expectations. I was traveling alone during this portion of my trip and Tod offered to do the tour one-on-one, which really added... More

Amazing trip with Tod through the everglades. We took an early morning tour to watch the sun rise, the gators hunt, fish jump and birds take their first flight of the day! Tod led us around some fantastic locations, even around a bird island surrounded by gators! Tod has knowledge of the area and its wildlife. Tod has everything you... More

Was visiting Miami and heard great things about Tod & the tour - even so, the tour was far better than I imagined. My buddy and I saw awesome gators, amazing birds, and relaxed among the mangroves. Tod was super knowledgable of the Everglades ecosystem, and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I certainly plan on returning. Cheers!

My friends and I went on two tours on our recent trip to the Everglades, one on a pontoon boat and one with Tod, paddling through the swamp in kayaks. Tod's tour was fantastic, and got us much closer to the animals and plants than the pontoon boat could. Tod was full of knowledge both arcane and practical, obliging and... More

We booked the kayaking tours with Tod based on the reviews from this site. Well the reviews did not disappoint! Getting that up close and personal with nature while in your kayak is an amazing experience. Tod is a very calm person so makes you feel at ease while navigating just feet away from the gigantic creatures. We saw several... More
