DISCLAIMER:
We cannot guarantee manatee sightings each tour we take out, however we will do our best go to the areas where they are typically most active. Manatee season officially runs through November 15th - March 31st. Manatee season means that during this time, the gulf gets too cold for the manatees so they seek refuge in the springs. However, during manatee season, we sometimes reach warmer temperatures outside that cause the manatees to swim back out to the bay/gulf to find food. We would like all our guests to be aware of this possibility so that there are no surprises!

The paddle will last at least 2 hours and we are more than willing to stop wherever you guys would like to take some pictures. Our guides can even take some for you. You'll love the clear kayaks with the incredible spring water! Also, you may get lucky and encounter some manatee and dolphin playing right under your kayak or some of the other great wildlife that Crystal River has to offer!
We suggest bringing a hat, some water, and lots of smiles! Small dry bags will be provided to guests for items such as keys, wallet, phone, etc.
Since there is a possibility of paddling with manatees in their home, we encourage you to watch this video about how to safely operate a kayak around them!
