There’s no better way to experience the beauty of Crystal River than with Sunsets, Manatees, and Glow Tours in ALL Clear Kayaks.
This one-of-a-kind night tour gives you the best of both worlds in Crystal River.
You will tour through clear water to find Manatees among other native wildlife and then venture to catch a sunset before the second half of your tour begins. After catching one of our spectacular sunsets, we turn the lights on the kayaks to see EVERYTHING that is going on below the surface! You have the possibility of spotting various kinds of wildlife we have to offer here, such as manatees, dolphins, turtles, fish, various birds, and many different species of fish. This is an amazing tour and has limited space, so book today and don’t miss out! Sorry, no pets are allowed on any of our tours. Ages 3 & up only.
What To Expect
You will journey out to some of the clearest water in the world in our ALL clear kayaks with one of our amazing LOCAL guides. You will paddle to the outskirts of Three Sisters Springs as Three Sisters Springs is closed from November 15 – March 31st each year. We journey down the various crystal clear canal systems we have to offer in Crystal River. You will learn about our ecosystem and possibly spot local wildlife such as manatees, turtles, various birds, dolphins, and many species of fish. The Tour then leads out to our main bay “Kings Bay” where you will watch the Beautiful sunset of Crystal River. After this, you will be led to a different chain of Springs where you will turn on your lights and see the magnificent Clear Water Glowing through your ALL Clear Kayak. Manatee sightings are not guaranteed as they are wild animals, however, we take the best routes possible to find them. This is the NUMBER one tour in Florida for spring hunters. Don’t miss out and reserve your spot today!
