Crystal River Manatee Kayak Tour, 2.5 hr

Paddle across the clear spring waters of Kings Bay on a guided Crystal River Manatee Kayak Tour, with the chance to spot wildlife below your transparent kayak. The route takes you toward Three Sisters Springs, a celebrated destination in this Florida sanctuary.

Set out in a single clear kayak with a paddle, life jacket, and professional guide. The 150-minute outing is described as beginner-friendly, and the included launch fee gets you onto the water. Manatees are most commonly seen during peak season from November through March, though sightings can happen in warmer months and are never guaranteed.

Meet at the kayak ramp beside the water at King’s Bay Park. Parking costs $5 per vehicle and is paid at the meter near the entrance. Single clear kayaks may not be comfortable for guests over 6 feet tall or 200 pounds; a regular kayak may be provided instead. Choose this Crystal River Manatee Kayak Tour for a close-up view of the bay’s vivid waters, and keep watch for wildlife as you paddle toward the springs.
