We had a wonderful time! Our guide was very knowledgeable and really she really helped us understand the area and the natural environment. Great tour and experience!
Paddles outdoor rentals the business was really great to book with the cost was reasonable the staff was amazing the equipment was great. They require a short educational video about viewing the manatees that apparently most folks don’t adhere to ….. there were way too many people at three springs at one time and I wasn’t comfortable invading the space I never got out to swim as the water wasn’t that nice or clean except at the springs I’m not always a fan of regulations but they need to maybe count and time visitors in the area of the springs it would be more enjoyable:)
An experience of a lifetime! Cypris our guide was amazing. First time kayaker here and it was smooth sailing for me with her. Three Sisters Springs is divine!!
We had a wonderful time and saw several manatees including mamas and babies. Our guide, Cypress, was knowlegeable, fun and passionate about manatees and the entire Crystal River ecosystem.
Steven was a great guide. He was helpful and patient with us. We came with (2) 12 year old boys and we have never really been kayaking. Needless to say we need more work. Steven was able to guide us to the most beautiful water we have ever seen. He knew where to take us to see different things and we even got to see 2 manatees. We could not have asked for a better experience!!
That sounds like such a special first kayaking experience—beautiful water, great guidance, and even manatee sightings! So glad you and your family had such an unforgettable time out there 💙 The Paddles Outdoor Team
Great tour, saw lots of wildlife, including an alligator! No manatees this time, but they'd seen them earlier in the day. Swim was lovely. Iana, our guide, was lovely. Be prepared to pay for parking!
Sounds like a great adventure out there—wildlife, a refreshing swim, and a beautiful day on the water! So glad you had such a nice experience 💙 The Paddles Outdoor Team
We had such a great paddle out to Three Sisters Springs! It's a must see and do. John was our guide and was fun and informative--He knew the Bay Area well and was able to get us in front of a Manatee and her calf, one of the highlights for sure! Shauna, at the front desk, was very helpful. Not just for our paddle selections but also local drinks, eats and shopping recommendations! 20/10 recommend Paddles Outdoors!
That sounds like such an incredible day—getting to see a manatee and her calf is always a highlight! We’re so glad everything from the water to the local tips made it even better, and we truly appreciate the recommendation 💙 The Paddles Outdoor Team
We had an amazing time on our Kayak swim tour. John was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable of wildlife, knew the spots to find the manatees so that we had the best experience. His calm presence and guidance made for a memorable trip!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review—we're absolutely thrilled you had an amazing time on your Kayak Swim Tour! Jon is truly wonderful; as a lifelong Crystal River local, his deep knowledge of the wildlife, manatees, and the best hidden spots makes every tour feel tailored and magical. We're so glad his calm presence and thoughtful guidance helped create such a memorable, relaxed experience for you—those are the kinds of paddles we live for! Hearing that you got the best manatee encounters possible means the world to Jon and the entire team. We can't wait to welcome you back for more unforgettable swims and wildlife magic—maybe chase even more gentle giants or try one of our other tours with Jon next time. Thanks again for choosing Paddles Outdoor Rentals and for the heartfelt shoutout! 🌊🛶🐋😊🤙
Amazing experience, our guide Cypris has been absolutely great, providing interessting information with her fun and welcoming way of making this trip unforgettable. We saw many manatees, respecting their space but came also came towards us being curious and playful! Stunning! Highly Recommended!
Hey, thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're over the moon that Cypris made the trip unforgettable with her fun, welcoming style and all the interesting info she shared. Those curious, playful manatees coming right up close (while still keeping their space respected) is exactly the kind of stunning experience we love hearing about—sounds like you nailed the perfect outing! Thanks a ton for the high recommendation and for choosing us. It brightens our day and spreads the word about these special eco-adventures.
