Top-Rated Kayak Rentals & Tours in Crystal River, FL★★★★★
We rented 3 kayaks for 2 hours to see the manatees. We had an outstanding time with an accommodating staff as well as excellent equipment. The laminated maps clipped to the kayaks were so helpful, and the facilities for the rental were great! Well worth the time and money! The manatees were amazing!

We arrived, they brought us right in to watch the video and right out the door for a shuttle drive to the launching spot. Launching spot was a beach and was fairly easy in and out of kayak. Quick to pick us up as well and we were on our way. Kayaks were nice as well and not at all tippy. We saw so many manatee in the canals near Three Sister Spring - we went to hidden springs and others on the map but no luck - it was also a little rougher in the open waters getting there. Next time we will stick with the canals.

It was our first time kayaking in Crystal River and really enjoyed the tour with our guide Jessica. It was a perfect length of time and she was very knowledgeable and it was relaxing. We did see over a dozen manatees too! We did get wet in kayaks so wear bathing suits under clothing if cool out. Great memory

We visited on April 2nd. We had a private tour for our group of 14 with Jessica. She was the most patient, fun, and informative guide! We saw several manatees and learned a lot. We also purchased the photos Jessica took on our trip for a very reasonable price. The gift shop is super cute and clean. The whole experience from check in until we left was perfect.
