Kaitlyn (sp?) was excellent. Just the right amount of facts, history and discussion.
This tour was amazing! Heavenly was our guide and she was so fun and so knowledgeable! We will definitely be back!
We had a fantastic time on our kayak tour! Lillie was a wonderful guide, who was clearly invested in showing us the best places in the area while keeping us safe. A storm started rolling in about half-way through the tour - after we saw the springs but before the glow section - and she encouraged us to return to avoid the lightning. Because the tour wasn’t completed, the company provided a full refund! Despite the shortened tour, we had a great time and saw a spectacular sunset.
Kaitlyn was amazing and so friendly!! Such a great experience
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you had such a great experience with Kaitlyn. She truly is amazing, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with her! We hope to see you again soon! 💙
What a nice trip it was! Especially because of our nice guide Katelyn!!
Thank you so much! We’re delighted you had such a wonderful trip. Katelyn will be so happy to hear that she made your experience even more special! We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! 💙
Superb experience. Kathleen our guide was perfect.
Merci beaucoup ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez vécu une superbe expérience avec Kathleen. Nous lui transmettrons vos gentils mots ! 💙
Kaceys Custom Adventures Crystal River: Three Sisters Manatee Clear Kayak Tour with Free Photos was by far the best tour of our trip. You should be somewhat knowledgeable about kayaking; however real experience is not required. Kyle (who just completed his doctorate-so proud of him) gave us an excellent safety briefing before our tour. Our family was a group of seven and two others joined us. Kaitlyn was tandem with me, so thankful because I was able to more enjoy the experience with her doing the navigation. We were told up front that manatees do not stay at Three Sisters during summer months and we did not see one. The experience at the Springs, however, was fantastic. We snorkeled (gear provided) the perfectly clear water and I was able to see all three springs with minimal swimming from one to the other. Besides the extremely excellent care that Kyle and Kaitlyn took of us, they also snapped pictures of our experience. A link to the digital pictures are texted at NO additional cost. There are lots of pictures and they are excellent. I highly recommend Kaceys Custom Adventures Crystal River: Three Sisters Manatee Clear Kayak Tour with Free Photos.

We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Kyle and Kaitlyn—they’ll be thrilled to hear them!
