What you'll do

Three Sisters Springs
917 Three Sisters Springs Trail, Crystal River, United States
Three Sisters Springs is the crown jewel of Crystal River and one of Florida’s most iconic natural wonders. This protected spring system features crystal-clear turquoise waters surrounded by lush vegetation and is famous as a winter refuge for the gentle West Indian manatee. Guests will paddle or float through winding spring channels where the water stays a refreshing 72°F year-round. In the cooler months (November–March), the springs become a gathering place for dozens of manatees seeking warmth, offering unforgettable wildlife encounters. In warmer months, visitors enjoy the stunning clarity of the springs, perfect for spotting fish, turtles, and vibrant aquatic plants. Whether you come for manatee viewing, snorkeling, or simply to admire its beauty, Three Sisters Springs is an unmissable highlight of Crystal River.
