Crystal River, Crystal River, Florida, United States This tour is ALL about finding the best manatee spots and utilizing our clear kayaks to give you the best viewing possible without getting wet!
Crystal River is known as the “Manatee Capital of the World.” On this tour, we want our guests to experience Manatees in their natural habitat. Crystal River is fed by dozens of natural springs, which makes it is a hotspot during Florida’s “colder” months. Between November and March, hundreds of manatees migrate inland to the springs to seek refuge and stay warm.
We can’t control where they might be in the area, but our experienced guides will take you to where they are most active! While manatees are our main focus of this tour, we often see dolphins, fish, turtles, birds, and more!
This 2-2.5 hour guided adventure includes a relaxed paddle through Kings Bay to Hunter Springs, Jurassic Springs, and beyond in Crystal River.
Check this paddle off your manatee bucket list!

excellent trip. Jimmy was attentive and we were able to see a ton of manatees and other wildlife! Small group (just two of us) made it extra special.

Not much to see. Water wasn’t as clear as advertised. We basically kayaked around aimlessly for two hours.
