Great tour with a great guide! - Kyle was a fantastic guide. The whole crew was welcoming and on top of things from the moment we arrived. We didn’t spot any manatees on our sunset tour, but the experience was still worth it—gorgeous views, relaxed vibes, and plenty of insight into the area and the manatees themselves. Kyle knew his stuff and was genuinely enjoyable to talk with.

Birthday day to myself - Best time ever. It was my birthday present to myself. Loved it. Would do it again. Didn't think I could paddle for 2 1/2 hours but I did it.

Glow Kayak Tour - What an amazing experience! Kyle did an excellent job. He was very knowledgeable & taught us so much about the springs. He was very detailed in explaining all state & local resources going into protecting the springs & manatees. My husband & I kayak a lot at home. We never kayaked at night. We did the glow kayak in the clear kayak. It was beautiful & so peaceful in the evening. Kyle took some amazing pictures & videos of my husband & I. He promptly sent us the pics/videos within an hour of us ending the tour. I highly recommend doing this tour, it did not disappoint. And Yes, we were also lucky enough to see a manatee & her calf.

Night Adventure on Crystal River - Bring bug spray, will still get wet in kayak regardless. Cannot wear shoes on clear kayak due to potential scratching.

Great date night - We went in early June 2025 after spending the afternoon downtown Crystal River. We drove from The Villages, it was a great day trip.

Sunset clear kayak - Crystal River was beautiful, unfortunately we didn’t see any manatees during our sunset kayak trip. Clear kayaks were very cool and you were able to see the bottom of the river and lots of fish .

Spectacular Glow Light Tour! - Kacey was very welcoming and engaging throughout our entire adventure. She timed us being able to view the sunset perfectly after viewing manatees at Three Sisters Springs. We also saw manatees in the Hunter Springs area which was a spectacular view with the glow lights!!! Thank you again, Kacey, for an amazing experience!

This was a nice evening... - This was a nice evening activity. The sunset was so pretty. It was just me and another couple. We got to see a few manatees and some other wildlife including some racoons and birds. The experience could have been so much better if the guide was better educated on the different birds and could point and name them for us who are unfamiliar with the local wildlife. She seemed pretty unsure herself. Overall a nice evening.
