My husband and I with our two children (12&7) decided on a whim to rent tandem kayaks and venture into the Three Sisters Springs and it was well worth it. The springs can only be accessed by kayak or by swimming off of a boat parked outside the springs. The shop was great in getting us outfitted and onto the... More

WE love this place - go to see the Three Sisters Spring - love Morgan and her crew. They are people pleasers. You will get a map and then the adventure is on! We have guests in town a lot from KY and this is a must - kayaking the Crystal River - it doesn't get any better! More

This is a great place to rent a kayak to paddle to Three Sisters Spring to see the manatees. Unfortunately, it was a holiday and very crowded. But we still had a great time. The next day we went on a tour boat to swim with the manatees, so this was the perfect place to check it out first. More

We really enjoyed our visit to Crystal River, and the highlight would have to be kayaking and swimming with manatees at Three Sisters Springs. Instead of doing the tour, we rented a tandem kayak and wet suit and spent the day kayaking around the Three Sisters Springs area. I'm sure it's all about weather and luck, but we were able... More

If you are in Crystal River, or anywhere near, Crystal River Kayak Company is a MUST. We went in July, which is not prime manatee season, and we still had a mother and a calf come within 2 feet of us, as well as another manatee swim under and up to our kayak for a few minutes later on.

I recently rented kayaks from Crystal River Kayak Company after buying a voucher from Florida Vacation Auction and had a great time. I got to get a good deal from the auction but the prices aren't too bad. I do wish they had gone over the different places to go (like 3 sister springs) a little more in idetail. We... More
