3 hours snorkeling & kaiak at Three Springs - Great adventure! Our guide John was very knowledgeable and helpful. Super recommended! We snorkel: swimming to all three springs. We saw manatees, dolphins and many other wildlife (turtles, fishes, birds and crabs). The springs was a bit crowded for a Thursday… we recommend not going in the weekend ;)

Crystal River Kayak Tour - Danni was a fantastic guide and really worked hard to make sure we had the best trip possible. We were able to see a manatee even though it was past peak season. The swim at three sisters was definitely a highlight experience. Highly recommend this tour.

Bach Disaster Turned Amazing - I’m gonna be honest, I made a huge mistake and booked my entire bachelorette party for a tour on the wrong day and (obviously) we missed it. After a brief moment of panic, I called Shawna and she, the owner, and Josh turned my panic into magic. The stars luckily aligned and they hooked us UP. Josh was so knowledgeable of the area and the wildlife, got us some amazing pictures, and it’s a day we will all remember and cherish forever. Thank you so so much to the staff at Paddles Outdoor Rentals and Tours!!

Snorkel, swim spring tour - Need to get a more experienced guide before someone gets hurt, or coach the guides you have. Little communication with the whole group about what to do or expect
