Top Florida Kayaking Tours

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!

Victoria was our guide and she was absolutely adorable, knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. She kept our party well informed at every step so the group stayed together and she made sure everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour if you have visiting guests and want a little adventure.

This was a wonderful experience. The kayaking was not difficult, and the scenery was amazing. We didn’t get to see wildlife. We went in late June. My husband and 4 year old shared a kayak, and the little one did great. No issues. My 17 year old loved it.

This is a great kayak tour for everyone. There is plenty of time from when you enter the water to learn how to navigate the kayak if you have never been in one before. I had an 8 year old in the front of the tandem kayak just along for the tour and had no problems maneuvering the kayak by myself. Dan the tour guide was great and answered any and all questions that we had

It is a very charming place! The plants and trees are gorgeous in addition to the interesting birds and other animals. There is a tram that takes you around the park every half hour which we went on 4 times! Each driver/narrator had something else to say! They also had a butterfly area that was lovely.

We had an incredibly enjoyable two-hour outing with our family and kids. The scenery was beautiful—we paddled through mangroves and saw some amazing wildlife, including a dolphin and even a manatee. It was also a great way to get some exercise while still feeling relaxed and immersed in nature. I shared a tandem kayak with my 13 year old son, which made it even more fun. There were a couple of slightly tricky moments navigating the narrower mangrove tunnels, but nothing we couldn’t handle—and it added a bit of excitement to the experience. Another review mentioned not to forget the sunblock—I second this! Our guide, Kenny, really made the trip special. He was knowledgeable, calm, and genuinely enjoyable to paddle alongside. Overall, a memorable experience we’d absolutely recommend.

We were lucky enough to get a private session with Jojo. He was an amazing tour guide and the trip was perfect at high tide going through the small tunnels. I don't think taking kids through the tunnels is a good idea, they are tight. Too tight to paddle through some. Worth the little extra for the guided tour. Without a guide I can see people getting lost and turned around in the mangroves.
