Manatees! - We had a threesome and they accommodated us with an extra one single. Liz was great. She needed a speaker on her front and back. We saw so many manatees! Great pics to buy, too.

Kayaking crystal river - Crystal River is a nice river with many forks to explore. We did not see any manatees. Where we launched was very busy.

Great multi family experience - Kayaking Crystal River was amazing! We saw manatees, brown pelicans, and so much more. Our guides, Jessica and Cody, were well informed and truly committed to making sure that we enjoyed our time on the River by guiding us to their favorite spots! We had a perfect day!

Good trip. Poor quality equipment - Amazing area. We loved seeing the manatees. The Rental was quick, but the Kayak wasn’t in great condition. Seat strap was broken and there was no rudder. We couldn’t track in the water to save our lives.

Very disappointing and unorganised - Having seen the website and photos of the kayaking alongside manatees and other animals, my family were very excited to experience this so we drove from Kissimmee for this adventure. However on arrival we were checked in and told we had to take a 15 minute walk to where we would get our Kayak and get in the water. On arrival, we were told that they did not have the 2 double kayaks available at that point and we would have to wait. The person trying to organise everything was quite clearly struggling and told us they were understaffed. It took approximately 45 mins for the Kayaks to arrive and when they did there was one seat missing, which they tried to replace. Once on the water we were disappointed that we could not see the bottom as the water was very cloudy / brown unlike the pictures on the website. The lake was very nice however we were very disappointed that we did not see any manatee or any other wildlife other than a few birds. We asked many other people on the lake and they had not seen any either. Bearing in mind that this is advertised as a place where manatee come for winter, you would expect to at least see one. Not somewhere I would be rushing back too

Less than average experience - The expectation is to go kayaking in Crystal river but instead we were directed to King bay which is a less than average experience. Lots of motored boats and dirty, dark water
