Itinerary
Three Sisters Springs
At Three Sisters Springs, guests can stroll the scenic boardwalk that winds through one of Florida’s most beautiful natural areas. From the viewing platforms, you’ll see crystal-clear turquoise waters that stay 72°F year-round — a sanctuary for manatees during the cooler months and a vibrant window into Florida’s freshwater ecosystem year-round. Your guide will share the history and importance of the springs, local wildlife facts, and how conservation efforts protect this rare environment. After the tour, you can explore the boardwalk at your own pace, take photos, and enjoy the serene natural beauty before taking the trolley back downtown.
King's Bay Park
Kings Bay Park is a scenic waterfront stop featured on the Crystal River Walking Tour. Located in the heart of downtown, the park offers beautiful views of Kings Bay — the source of the Crystal River and home to fish, birds, and gentle manatees. Guests can enjoy shaded walkways, open green spaces, and peaceful views that capture the charm of Old Florida. It’s a quiet, relaxing stop that highlights how the bay connects the town’s history, community, and natural beauty.
