Clear Kayak Tour de las Tres Hermanas Springs y Manatí por Crystal River

Friendly staff. We got lucky and we were the only ones with our guide. Kyle was tremendous. Inside staff was also good. Very relaxed no rush tour.

Going from the bay into the springs is a very good workout. And especially if it's windy. Getting in and out of the kayaks are a little bit interesting Make sure you listen to your guide. And even though it was 95 outside it was still chilly 72 water

We had the most amazing time and highly recommended taking a tour with Outdoor Paddles. The most amazing experience and best guide, Cypress.

We totally enjoyed our afternoon of kayaking. The tour was well run and sign in was easy with just a waiver to sign for each member of our party and a short video to watch. Our tour guide Ayanna was a joy! She was engaging, informative and made sure we had the best experience! We only saw one manatee as it wasn’t the “season” but she made sure we got the best view and pictures possible while respecting the animal in its natural surroundings. After that we swam in the crystal clear water of the river, a welcome break from kayaking in the sun on a 95 degree day. Ayanna also took lots of pictures of us as a family that were available to purchase at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend this tour as a departure from theme parks, shopping and busy beaches. In total it took approximately 2.5 hours.

My daughters (26 and 24) neice (13) and I were SO excited to wrap up our week in Florida at Three Sister Springs....but Mother Nature had other plans. We went out on the water because we expected the rain yo come down hard for 10 minutes and then clear out (typical Florida weather) but we ended up sitting under a bridge for about 30 minutes before just calling it because the lightning and thunder wasn't letting up. The reason for thr 5 stars? Booking was easy, The price was fair, We were running late but they still worked with us, Our guide, Ms. Jax I believe, was wonderful, They sent someone out to 'rescue' us so we didny have yo choose between paddling back or staying under the bridge waiting for the weather to clear, They offered other times or extended time (we couldnt, we had a BBQ to get to and were hitting the road back to Alabama the next morning), I asked for a discount but they reached out to Viator to refund us. The 5 stars is because the experience OUTSIDE of the weather (which they could not control) was great enough that as we were driving away, looking like drowned rats, all 4 of us said our FIRST stop when we come back to Florida will be Crystal River to go clear kayaking!

Jax was an awesome guide. She was very personable, full of knowledge, and paced the tour very well. It was a great time!!

I was unsure about doing this experience, considering my daughter and I are not outdoorsy. Have to say we loved it from checkin to the very end. Fabio was an awesome and patient guide. We enjoyed seeing the fish and turtles and the momma Manatee and her baby. Will definitely bring my daughter and her sports team next year when we are in town.

Our guide at Clear Kayak Paddling was Jax. While she was a wealth of knowledge and I still had a great time, I felt it could have been better. You have to paddle out a mile to get out of the marina to get to the Three Sisters Spring. Jax kept stopping, alot to talk about random things that could have been left out on the way. I do understand you have to stop some to tell people which direction and all that. But one time she literally said, You can't just stop, keep paddling, and then 1 second later said wait, we need to stop, and then, come on paddle. And then we would end up having the other people crash into us because she stopped. Like I said, some stopping is completely understandable, but it was excessive. It took almost half the time alotted (45 to 50 minutes to paddle to the spring - i looked at my clock). Once we got to the spring, we did see 1 manatee and I felt she did a great job getting us close enough to see it. Then she asked if we wanted to swim, and we all did, so it was awesome swimming in the spring! We saw mullet, sheepshead, minnows, and the water was beautiful. On the way back it went much quicker and she did let us stay out a bit longer because she didn't have a tour after ours. So I felt like it did improve alot, and I ended up really enjoying it. All in all, I would recommend it because it's great experience.

Had a great experience. The guide was fantastic. The springs were clear to the bottom. Would definitely do it again.

The guide was very kind, and helped us when we had problems; the place is very beautiful and you can spend a very pleasant time.
