ABOUT OUR TOURS

If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable experience in Crystal River, Florida, your next adventure is around the corner! Join us for our 100% clear kayak tours through the active waterways of Crystal River. Our CLEAR kayaks provide you with a great way to get up close and personal with the area’s abundant marine life, including the gentle manatees that call the springs their home. Unlike your standard kayak, clear kayaks offer a completely different perspective on the natural beauty of Crystal River, allowing you to see the underwater world beneath you as you paddle.

 

We offer TWO different tours throughout the year! During November 15th – March 31st, we offer our Manatee Season Tour. On this tour, we paddle to a number of different areas in Kings Bay with the hope of passively observing manatees and other kinds of Wildlife! During manatee season, manatees often congregate in the warm waters of the springs during the winter months, providing visitors with a truly unforgettable experience!

Our other tour option is our Springs Tour that runs from April 1st – November 14th! On this tour, we paddle to different springs and you will have the opportunity to get out for a quick swim in Hunter Spring as well as paddle over different springs throughout Kings Bay!  If you’re lucky, you might even encounter a manatee or two on this tour as a number of manatees call Crystal River home year-round! Manatees are not the only marine life that can be found in the area. Dolphins, sea turtles, and a variety of fish species are also commonly seen in the Crystal River waters.

After your tour, you can also experience the local culture and cuisine. The charming downtown area is home to a variety of shops, galleries, and restaurants, where visitors can enjoy fresh seafood and locally sourced ingredients! Our small town prides itself on its unique culture and history, and we work hard to preserve the natural resources that make the area so special. We hope to have the opportunity to paddle with you and share this beautiful area with you soon!

Family Fun

Very fun excursion - we lucked out and got to see/paddle near several Manatees. Launching the kayaks was quick, easy, and on time. Shade was an amazing guide - friendly, attentive, and interesting. He had lots of good info for us about the area, the ecosystem, and the wildlife. Thanks for the fun trip, and keep up the good work!

Great kayaking! Saw manatees just as soon as we got in water! Our tour guide was fantastic! Her knowledge of the area, the birds, and the manatees was phenomenal! Tour guides can make or break a tour and let me say, and she made the tour great! Would recommend Get up snd Go Kayaking in the future. Do this, you won’t regret!

Great Adventure

We enjoyed our kayaking experience. We were able to see 2 manatees up close during our trip. Our guide Hunter, was great! He made our trip a “splashing “ good time! He was very knowledgeable about the River and pointed out many natural features and wildlife.

Wonderful

We loved the relaxed, laid back vibe of our guide, Winsor! He knew exactly where to take us to see the manatees. It was awesome just hanging out with manatees and watching their activities. Having a manatee swim under your kayak is a wonderful experience!

Amazing

I celebrated my birthday yesterday and it was such an amazing first time experience Kayaking and being so close up to the manatees! Our guide Chris was so awesome and made this day even more special because he was so nice and you could tell that he is very passionate about his job and really cared about giving us all an exceptionally great experience! I would definitely do this again!
