CRYSTAL RIVER THREE SISTERS SPRINGS AND MANATEE TOURS

Crystal River is a wildlife wonderland! During your kayak adventure, you might spot:

• Marine Life Galore: Look out for the West Indian Manatee, especially in winter. Dolphins frolicking, turtles gliding by, and an array of fish like bass, snook, bluegill, mullet, and snapper could also make an appearance.
• Bird-Watcher’s Paradise: The skies are bustling with birdlife. Keep your eyes peeled for majestic Ospreys, graceful Herons, soaring Pelicans, and if you’re lucky, the regal Bald Eagle.
• Unique Underwater Views: Thanks to our clear kayaks, not only do you get to see the surface dwellers, but you also get a sneak peek into the underwater realm as you paddle.

• Reservations are required for all tours.
• There is a $5 Parking Fee per the city – you will need to pay by the entrance upon arrival.
• Pets are allowed on the tour as long as the weight limit is not exceeded.
• Alcohol is prohibited 
• Manatees and other wildlife are wild! We cannot guarantee sightings though we do our best to take you to the places where we are most likely to see them based on the day’s conditions!

Please do NOT put sunscreen on the back of your legs because it eats the clarity away and cannot be cleaned off.

We encourage you to bring the following:

• Water (preferably in a reusable water bottle)
• Swimsuit/clothes that you don’t mind getting a little wet
• Sunglasses/hat
• Shoes that can get wet/sandals
• Towel for after the trip
• Any extra gear you’d like! Remember – the less gear, the more visibility through the kayak!

We will provide you with the following:

• Dry bags to store your personal items
• Safety equipment including lifejackets and whistles
• A clear kayak with seats and paddles
• A knowledgeable tour guide

• Every tour is given on one of our 100% clear kayaks.
• Our fleet is small (5 kayaks) so expect an exclusive experience (no more than 10 people at a time).
• Our guides are always helpful and entertaining (and they love tips).

• Yes, children are welcome on our tours!
• We require children 30 pounds or under to bring their own Coast Guard approved life jacket as the size is very specific and safety is of utmost importance.
• We require one adult per each child under age 11.

This is a beginner paddle, so you do not need prior experience!

Tips are greatly appreciated. Our guides work very hard to provide all guests with an unforgettable memory! Standard US gratuity is 20%!

No more than 425 pounds per boat (two guests) and no more than 250 pounds per seat (individual)

Each of our kayaks are tandem (made for 2 paddlers). However, the seats are removable and if you have an odd number of paddlers in your party we are able to accommodate the kayak as a single.

Keep in mind, the same 250 pound PER person weight limit still applies even if taking a kayak out as a single.

No

Trips that are canceled by Get Up And Go Kayaking due to inclement weather, will be rescheduled or refunded.

All sales are final, however, we do offer Trip Protection at Crystal River for 10% of the ticket price to allow you to cancel for a full refund for any reason up until 12 hours prior to the trip time.

No-show participants will not be refunded.

This includes showing up with less paddlers than the original amount booked for.

Get Up And Go Kayaking will not launch in unsafe weather conditions. Because of this, trips may need to be cancelled or rescheduled due to safety issues. If this is the case, your reservation will be refunded in full (if it has already been paid). We will not be held responsible for any reservation that you fail to keep due to any unforeseen circumstances. We also reserve the right to change or cancel any tours due to circumstances beyond our control. In this instance, Get Up And Go Kayaking can refund the tour price, not any other expenses that may have been incurred.
