Crystal River Clear Kayak Tour: Three Sisters Springs & Manatees

Kings Bay is the spring-fed heart of Crystal River — a network of more than 30 natural springs holding a constant 72°. You'll paddle it in a 100% clear kayak, watching turtles, fish, and birds move beneath you. From November 15 through March 31, this is where hundreds of manatees gather to escape the cold Gulf.

Three Sisters Springs is one of the most striking spring systems in Florida — turquoise, spring-fed, and 72° year-round. We paddle in by clear kayak, so you float directly above the limestone with a clear view straight down. April 1 through November 14, you'll have time to get out and swim. During manatee season, November 15 through March 31, Three Sisters is a protected manatee sanctuary closed to paddlers. On those tours we paddle the surrounding warm springs of Kings Bay instead, where the manatees gather.
