Three Sisters Springs
Three Sisters Springs is the crown jewel of Crystal River and one of Florida’s most iconic natural wonders. This protected spring system features crystal-clear turquoise waters surrounded by lush vegetation and is famous as a winter refuge for the gentle West Indian manatee. Guests will paddle or float through winding spring channels where the water stays a refreshing 72°F year-round. In the cooler months (November–March), the springs become a gathering place for dozens of manatees seeking warmth, offering unforgettable wildlife encounters. In warmer months, visitors enjoy the stunning clarity of the springs, perfect for spotting fish, turtles, and vibrant aquatic plants. Whether you come for manatee viewing, snorkeling, or simply to admire its beauty, Three Sisters Springs is an unmissable highlight of Crystal River.

5.00Our family had an excellent time with Alex and Becca on this Kayak/snorkel trip. The choice of kayaks we were given was unexpected and nice. Every single one of the staff members was friendly and asked many questions before starting out to make sure it was THEE PERFECT experience for our group. We kayaked from the dock to Three Sisters Springs. It was beautiful. We snorkeled the springs and were lucky enough to witness an extremely large manatee moving slowly through the springs…amazing! We also saw 4 or 5 other manatees, loads of turtles, and some native birds while kayaking. This was definitely one of the highlights to our vacation! It was just so beautiful and everyone was so nice. Do not hesitate to book with this group! It was an A+ for us!!!!!!!
The Highlight of our Vacation!

5.00This was the highlight of our Florida trip! We had the BEST time kayaking and swimming with the manatees! The wind was bad the day of our scheduled tour and they were mindful of that, called us to let us know, and helped us reschedule the next day, which was gorgeous! We did the self guided tour, they gave us great directions, and it was so fun to do it at our pace. They threw some snorkels in so we could see the manatees under water and it was phenomenal. Great people to work with and they made sure we had an awesome experience! I’d recommend this a million times over and hope to do it again sometime! Book it and go! You will never regret it!
Amazing tour end to end!

5.00Becca was fun, informed and safe. She helped us have an amazing trip into Kings Bay and Three Sisters Spring. In mid-March we saw an unexpected number of Manatees., We couldn’t count how many and they were everywhere. Swim or don’t, choose your water craft, very personal experience. The restaurant and bar by the boat ramp had amazing food and atmosphere too, do a tour then soak in the Kings Bay atmosphere with great food and drink after your tour! One of our best family adventures.
Kayaking was good we went at our own pace.

5.00Wow! Amazing!! Becca guided our afternoon group to the best spots to view manatees both out of and in the water. We lucked out and were able to swim into the Three Sisters Spring, where we encountered 4 mother/calf pairs and several other manatees. Free parking/no boat ramp fees. Stay afterwards and enjoy happy hour at Waterfront Social!
Fabulous paddle day with an amazing guide

5.00We had a great time on the kayak/snorkel trip! I went with my 14 year old twins and none of us are strong kayakers, but we never felt like we were holding anyone back. The guides were really nice, knowledgeable and encouraged us to ask questions. It was obvious that they love manatees and are still excited to see them. The snorkeling was really nice because it was unguided and at our own pace. We don’t feel rushed and we didn’t have to stick with our small group. On the way back they took us an alternate route so that we didn’t have to kayak into the wind. I would highly recommend this tour!

5.00These are the finest guides we've had the pleasure of kayaking with. They are safety conscious and we saw way more Manatees than expected. There was a mix of leisure time sitting with Manatees and also great paddling ttime.They have a mix of kayaks and SUP. The pace is great. We never felt rushed or that there was time limit. While we didn't have kids with us, the families that did had a blast. Thank you! Heather Hamilton
Thank you Becca!
