Awesome Time with Manatees - PaddlesOutdoor is a well run company with friendly and efficient employees who make sure the customers have an awesome experience. We rented water bikes in the morning and swam with the manatees in the afternoon. Crystal River has many springs with clear water that Lacie, our outstanding tour guide showed us. She was able to locate one manatee and caught some underwater photos. The Gulf waters were cooler, so most manatees were not in the river. She also told us about the fish we saw. When you rent a water bike, you are able to spot the manatees better with the higher viewpoint. I had the experience of a lifetime when a manatee came up to my water bike and actually pushed me with their snout. Priceless! Christopher Brown is a hands on owner who wants to make sure his customers have a great experience. I would highly recommend renting from PaddlesOutdoor.

Water bikes are tough work! But super fun!! - Omgosh, I didn’t realize how tough biking in water would be!!! It was a hot day and too much for me, but what a lovely experience we had with our grandson!!! The staff was wonderful and we truly enjoyed. I’d definitely recommend this place.

Water bikes were so much fun! - We really enjoyed riding the water bikes and seeing the manatees. I have kayaked before and the water bikes are so much easier to do and you can see the manatee so much better because you can look right down over them. It was a great time with family visiting from out of state. The staff at Paddles Outdoor were very nice and accommodating. Highly recommend !

Fun Bikes on the water - This was so fun. The only real complaint I would have is that my butt got a little sore ,but it’s a bike and it happens. The instructions are simple and easy. We really had a nice time. I plan on doing it again in a week or so. Defiantly recommend this company. The employees we ALL very friendly and helpful. 10 thumbs ups! I will say watch out for the sea grass it can stop you by rapping around the propeller but don’t fret, it’s easy to rectify. The helper at the dock will tell you about how to do that. If you get stuck in the middle of the grass and can’t seem to get out just rock your bike like a rocking horse while peddling and you will begin to move slow but sure.

Do this again! - Pleasantly surprised and very happy! Didn't know how bikes would perform. Certainly not nimble on water however not difficult to get comfortable with and maneuver. No very sharp direction changes! Very relaxing for me. Great briefing given by staff. Stay out of the grassy areas! Peddled to Three Sisters Spring. Took about 30 minutes. Everything was awesome! I'm doing this again soon!!
