We Saw Manatees! - We enjoyed swimming in Three Sisters. My advice is to watch the videos at home and sign the forms at home so you don't have to wait at the shop. Get there as early as you can. The parking at the launch park is limited. The later you get there the further away you will park. Oh, and drive to the park yourself. Go straight to Three Sisters first as it will get really crowded quickly. Then follow the route on the map provided to the other springs.

Amazing time great staff - The staff at paddles were amazing from the ladies in the office to the gentleman at the dock explaining where to go an what to expect we felt very well taken care of. Then upon returning our snorkel gear to the ladies in the office we asked for recommendations for great place to have a beverage an lunch the recommended coop brewery which was amazing the here at paddles went above an beyond to make our experience trouble free an memorable! Will be back next time highly recommend this rental !!

Exploring Crystal Rivers - I just wanted to express how much we enjoyed our day kayaking Crystal River. Even though the springs were closed to protect the manatees this time of year, we got to see at least 8 of them. Big shout out to all the staff at Paddles Outdoor Adventures! From beginning to end, they were so friendly and helpful. They are also very pet friendly, which was a big plus for us. I wanted to also thank them for canceling our reservation when we discovered our car had been stolen from our driveway the night before we were suppose to go kayaking. I called them and without hesitation, they refunded us. We booked the following weekend and had a great day enjoying the river!

We would do it again - The price was the cheapest we saw in Crystal river so we booked this and everyone was nice and helpful. The kayak was big. The manatees were everywhere on the lake you just have to be a bit patient.

Book your next trip here! - Great experience! Jess was so helpful getting us ready for our day trip and providing lots of information. The shop has really cute souvenirs and last minute items you may have forgotten. I will be booking again for sure! The water was a little cloudy the day we went but we saw at least 20 manatees. The wet suits and snorkels were really nice too - I’m always weird about renting that stuff but it was super clean.

Would use them again! - The staff was super accommodating and nice, they upgraded our kayak for us without charge, and answered our all of our questions before booking. Decently priced for all day rentals. Their website is very easy to navigate as well. We would definitely use them again!

Amazing and friendly service for kayak rentals - Booked the night before on easy to use website. Check in was easy and loved watching the care they take with the environment by requesting you watch the video first. Staff at kayak launch were friendly and helpful and gave clear instructions since this was our first time. It's a beautiful place and we will be back

The beautiful place and time for families - The staff is really polite and helps with everything. The place is also beautiful. Recommend for family trips.

Time of my life (this week) - Quite the adventure! We were launched in a stormy, windy sea of thunder and lightening. We were not alone. Motor Boats , kayaks, and snorkel divers all hoping for a manatee sighting. More developed than I had anticipated. Less natural. But! It was fun, it was cheap, exhilarating, whoo hoo! No regrets.

Ok - Nice way to get some sun & exercise. No instructions really given, like the proper way to paddle nor were we told to use the little guides on the handle for extra ease in control. Plus the office is about a mile from the launch site and a drop off ride/pick up wasn't offered so either walk it or pay $5 parking fee at dock.
