It’s ok to be a beginning kayaker. RJ was attentive and kept control of his group. Going a little later in the day may allow for some time for the manatees to get up and get moving.

Join us on a guided eco-tour of Crystal River on ALL clear kayaks! Throughout the expedition, you will have the opportunity to view the beautiful nature and wildlife that we are known for including over 70 freshwater springs. You will have the opportunity to possibly view dolphins, pelicans, tarpon, turtles, otters, various species of birds, and our beloved manatees. There will be plenty of chances to take pictures on our guided tours and a picture package will be available for purchase at the end of your tour. THIS TOUR DOES NOT GO INSIDE THREE SISTERS SPRINGS! Three Sisters Springs is closed during manatee season and it will remained closed during the Summer months in 2023 for maintenance. Three Sisters Springs will not reopen until April 1st of 2024 for kayaking.

If you enjoy being yelled at and treated like a child, maybe this is for you. My family and I went thinking this would be a great experience and maybe it is, but it wasn’t for us. Our guide Jaz was not what you would call, friendly. I get it, she needs to control the group and ensure everyone follows the rules but you can accomplish that with a smile, courtesy and respectfully. She was such a downer, it really made for a poor expedience. While we did see some manatees, the water is so dark, you really don’t see much here at this location. I wish we would have gone up to the State park where the water is so much clearer.
