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.

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

Not great - Pretty expensive. Lots of upselling on waterproof phone cases, water etc. $5 “launch fee” because we booked through Tripadvisor. Very crowded in the canals. Dodging many boats. Not a natural area at all. Marketing is all about Manatees and then you find out that they have mostly left the area. Plus Three Sisters spring is closed. Skip it and go see the manatees at Mamossa Springs on foot.

Terrible trip - Terrible! The worst experience of boating... There is nothing except dark deep water... Not even close to THE three sisters spring. Don't waste money kayak in crystal river. The management people in crystal river is rude!!!!
