We had a wonderful time. We saw manatees , turtles , fish and baby alligators. The weather was great and the water felt amazing.

Thanks so much for taking your tour with us and are so happy you saw so much wildlife :)

Too many people- NO MANATEES

Jennifer_K, Jun 2024

Crazy crowded with loud obnoxious people and boats. Didn’t see any fish or manatees.., and then a storm blew up 1 1/2 hours into it. Waste of money and an afternoon

Response from Host, Jun 2024

You booked a kayak rental in June when it is NOT manatee season! You gave us two stars about complaints that had nothing to do with us. A. Too many people and boats B. A storm came in C. No fish or manatees You can’t be serious…First off, how in the world do we control if someone else who happens to be on the same body of water as you is obnoxious?!?!? Do you know how ridiculous you really sound? In addition, there are literally hundreds of fish JUMPING out of the water every single day… and on our TOURS people see manatees most days because they are with a guide. Maybe you should try visiting a zoo or reading a book on your next “adventure” and if you think it’s crowded here in Summer, then maybe you should try Disney so you can wait in line for 3 hours to ride one ride. Give me a break and try smoking more. It’s awesome!!!!

Terrible trip

Ruiqi_W, Mar 2024

Terrible! The worst experience of boating... There is nothing except dark deep water... Not even close to THE three sisters spring. Don't waste money kayak in crystal river. The management people in crystal river is rude!!!!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Ruiqi, you are so upset because you went ON TO PROTECTED LAND AND GOT KICKED OUT!!!! We have pictures and WISH we could post how much of an idiot you truly are! We turned your information over to FWC and they will be contacting you directly. Good luck! Obey the laws of the area and you would have loved it… what a piece of work you are… please don’t come back!

The beautiful weather, nice rivers & searching for manatees even though it's really hard to see one.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for the review but there are literally hundreds to see right now in the area. Not sure where you were looking but our guests have been seeing more than ever this past week. Glad you had a good time.

Crystal River is a nice river with many forks to explore. We did not see any manatees. Where we launched was very busy.

Very nice, say many manatees, nice place. A bit expensive if you en up renting the suit and everything for all the family. But nice experience, I don,t regret!

Blanca_G, Mar 2022

Very nice experience. In my opinion, too expensive (you end up paying much more that what is said in the web if you are not coming alone) but we had a great time.
