All Clear Kayak Tours

Our tour includes an ALL Clear Kayak, life vest, paddles, and one of our amazing LOCAL guides! The clear kayaks are all tandem vessels, partners are required. All guests must be under 250 pounds each and when picking their partner must be under 425 pounds together. If you have an odd numbered group, you will be paired with an adult from another odd numbered group. Each party involving minors (ages 3-12) must have another member age 13+ to pair with their children; minors are not permitted to be paired with another party. A minimum of one adult (ages 18+) is required for every booking. If the entire tour has an odd number of guests, one person may be set up as a single rider in the double clear kayak. No exceptions will be made.

Important Information

Manatee season is November 14th – March 31st, but we have resident manatees that live here year round. Manatee sightings are not guaranteed (they are wildlife), but we will visit various springs and point out all wildlife seen.

We require that you arrive 30 minutes prior to your reservation time. If you arrive late, there will be NO REFUNDS OR NO RESCHEDULING!  Our tours book out daily and we have a very strict 24-hour cancellation policy for this tour.   Tours leave at the scheduled reservation time and there is a quick video and waivers to sign before the tour starts.

Children must be at least 3 years of age to participate. No pets are allowed on any of our tours. There is a $5.00 per person launch fee that is charged at checkout, this gets paid directly to Pete’s Pier. You will be given a bracelet that is necessary to launch at Pete’s Pier Marina. There is a $10 parking fee per vehicle at the launch site that can be paid via card or cash.

THERE IS NO SWIMMING ON OUR CLEAR KAYAK TOURS!  It is extremely difficult to get on and off of the clear kayaks so we do not allow swimming on our clear kayak tours.  We recommend taking our Three Sisters Springs Swim Tour if you want to get out and swim 🙂

There are no shoes allowed on our clear kayaks.  You will leave your shoes at the launch location and can put them back on at the end of the tour.

Sorry, no pets are allowed on any of our tours.

Safety Procedures

There may be tours that will not be able to paddle through Kings Bay to get to Three Sisters Springs due to high winds in the area.  If this happens we will kayak to Hunter Springs and the surrounding areas or cancel the tour.  If we decide to cancel the tour, you will have the opportunity to reschedule or receive a full refund, as that will be your choice.
