Amazing experience for our family - We had an amazing time on this tour! Josh was our tour guide and being a local working at a family business, he shared interesting and entertaining info on our tour. We had a great first time experience on the clear bottom kayaks paddling out to the Three Sisters Springs--all very peaceful and enjoying nature. We saw a few sea turtles and various birds. Not much in the way of fish (not sure if its maybe the time of year we visited). Springs were really nice. Best of all though was that Josh led us to finding a Manatee and her baby. SO COOL! we spent extra time just floating by these 2 beautiful animals and the baby went up to my kid's kayak. Unforgettable experience. And since this is not Manatee season, we were ecstatic. Josh also took some great pictures available for purchase and which we bought. Thanks for the great tour!!

Absolutely Worth it!! - Had an amazing time! Our guide, Seer, was outstanding. Very knowledgeable of the wildlife and area. You could tell he loved his job which translated to a great experience. He went out of his way to make sure we saw Manatees (it's not the season for them so there weren't as many in the area). Just an overall great experience and will certainly be bringing my whole family back.

Great, laid back paddle! - Love us some RJ, very fun guide, down to earth, loves the wildlife! Very patient & genuine. We were thrilled with the trip and learned a lot. Great manatee etiquette and education. Highly recommend! The clear kayaks are cool, but fogged in the rain. I still preferred them because you sat down in the water. Made it a little skippy in the bay, but I like that better. Well worth it, highly recommend. Great, laid back paddle.

Amazing Kayaking Experience in Crystal River with our amazing guide, Kyle! - Kayaking in Crystal River was an absolute delight. The crystal-clear waters allowed us to see fish and manatees up close, creating an unforgettable experience. The route was easy to navigate, and the rental service was top-notch, providing excellent equipment and helpful tips. The highlight was paddling to Three Sisters Springs, where the serene beauty of the blue waters was simply breathtaking. Highly recommend this adventure for anyone looking to connect with nature in a stunning setting.

Not much fun - It was very hard for me 66 and my 13 yo granddaughter I am in good shape and paddle and swim every day. We were never showed how to spot a manatee. Just paddle to the springs and back. Our guide was nice.

Long paddle - It was a long paddle to the springs. I felt there was way too many people splashing around in the springs at one time. Swimmers/kayaks etc. kind of an exhausting trip.
