Quick Details
Crystal River is a great trip for those looking for clear water and possibly manatees in our crystal clear kayaks with high chances of wildlife! This 2- to 2.5-hour guided adventure includes a beginner/intermediate paddle through Kings Bay to 2 different springs in Crystal River.
Depending on boat traffic, there are areas where participants can take a quick swim if they choose. Crystal River is known for its natural springs and large amounts of manatee! Be on the lookout for manatee, dolphin, and many different species of birds, plants, turtles, fish, alligators, and more! We only bring out group sizes of up to 10 paddlers, so be ready for an awesome, personalized experience with our friendly guides!
We cannot guarantee manatee sightings each tour we take out, however we will do our best go to the areas where they are typically most active. Manatee season officially runs through November 15th – March 31st. Manatee season means that during this time, the gulf gets too cold for the manatees so they seek refuge in the springs. However, during manatee season, we sometimes reach warmer temperatures outside that cause the manatees to swim back out to the bay/gulf to find food. We would like all our guests to be aware of this possibility so that there are no surprises!
Join us for a guided beginner/intermediate paddle through Kings Bay to different springs in Crystal River – Jurassic Spring, Magnolia Spring, Hunter Springs, and Three Sisters Springs. Great scenery & wildlife!
