We had a wonderful time renting a double kayak. All employees were informative and helpful to get us on our first kayaking journey. The Three Sisters Springs was a easy, short kayak ride away and a great place to snorkel considering it had such crystal clear waters. Unfortunately we didn't get to see any manatees since they had already moved... More

My wife and I are "Friends of Crystal River" and spend a lot of time in the creeks and in Kings Bay. Normally we rent our kayaks from A Crystal River Kayak Company. This year (at the age of 77) we decided to buy our own kayaks. We tried out several types with help from Gary & Ray and we... More

We rented four kayaks for a couple of hours on April 10th. Alan at the dock was very helpful in adjusting footrests properly and getting everyone in and out smoothly. If you’re planning to carry your wallet in the kayak, ask Alan if you can borrow a dry bag. The Three Sisters Springs wildlife refuge is only 5 to 10... More

We rented two kayaks for our family of five. Our children (12, 6, and 5) loved this adventure. We were able to kayak the springs and open water for about two hours. Our kids got out and swam, so you may want to take your snorkels and masks for the springs.

Great location for Three sister's spring. We rented two boats and brought two of our own and they let us put in at their dock. Hard working guys on the dock was a blessing. Great staff.

We have rented kayaks twice now from this company, and both times have been great. Fast check-in, good prices, friendly service and, of course, a wonderful area in which to kayak.

My family and I rented 2 tandem kayaks from this company and the young man who helped us at the dock was friendly and efficient. I forgot it was spring break so the 3 Sisters Spring was overpopulated to say the least. It was still a great experience for my family as there were quite a few manatees and the... More

It is located at the end of a strip mall, so we drove right passed it (did not have our GPS with us). We called and were given great directions. I wished I could remember the woman's name that was behind the counter. She was very helpful, and gave us excellent directions on where to go, how to navigate around... More

Thank you so very much for your review. I must have been the 'woman behind the desk' since I am the only female employee at this time. I am glad you had a great manatee experience with our company. More
