Overview

This guided ecotour on clear kayaks takes place on Crystal River in the USA and lasts about two hours. Participants paddle through an area featuring over 70 freshwater springs. The tour offers opportunities to see local wildlife including manatees, dolphins, pelicans, tarpon, turtles, otters, and various bird species. Clear kayaks, paddles, and life vests are provided. Photography is allowed during the tour, and an optional picture package is available for purchase afterward. The tour does not enter Three Sisters Springs because it is closed for manatee season and maintenance until April 1, 2024. Wildlife sightings and water conditions vary with each tour. Participants must arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. Maximum weight limits apply: 250 pounds for a single rider and 420 pounds for two riders.
