    Excellent tour. We saw so many manatees close up. Several mommas and babies too. Rebecca our tour guide was fabulous. So knowledgeable about these gentle giants. She brought us to areas away from other people and it’s like we had our very own bay to ourselves. I highly recommend Rebecca and this tour company for kayaking with manatees. You can even snorkel with them too as our husbands did!

    Manatees up close and friendly!

    Janelle_D, Mar 2026
    Great guides, very personable and knowledgeable made the kayaking enjoyable! Even though end of manatee season, we saw several up close to our kayaks and also dolphins, turtles, various birds, etc. The springs are beautiful and crystal clear.

    Kayak & Swim with Gentle Giants

    Wow! Amazing!! Becca guided our afternoon group to the best spots to view manatees both out of and in the water. We lucked out and were able to swim into the Three Sisters Spring, where we encountered 4 mother/calf pairs and several other manatees. Free parking/no boat ramp fees. Stay afterwards and enjoy happy hour at Waterfront Social!

    Best Kayaking Guides in Crystal River!!!

    Heather_H, Feb 2026
    These are the finest guides we've had the pleasure of kayaking with. They are safety conscious and we saw way more Manatees than expected. There was a mix of leisure time sitting with Manatees and also great paddling ttime.They have a mix of kayaks and SUP. The pace is great. We never felt rushed or that there was time limit. While we didn't have kids with us, the families that did had a blast. Thank you! Heather Hamilton

    Thank you Becca!

    Best trip ever!!!

    Teri_S, Feb 2026
    Fantastic and personalized to our needs! Scott was excellent. He was so kind and knowledgeable to us as well as others along the river. My 80 year old mom felt comfortable. So affordable. I 100% would recommend this company and can’t wait to go again!

    Thank you so much for your kind review! Hope to see you again in the future for your next adventure!

    The weather didn’t cooperate, but Viator stood up to their word.

    MaryLou_G, Feb 2026
    Easy to book and manage our recent trip. We looked forward to our up coming kayaking trip. Our original date was postponed due to travel dates. I changed our date twice but air temperature and winds caused our kayak trip to cancel. VIator offered to reschedule the date at no charge. We had to get a refund because we would not be in the area any longer.

    At Water's Edge Adventures, we're here for a good time, not a hard time. We don't send guests out in dangerous or uncomfortable conditions. We're really bummed that we weren't able to find you an optimal day to go out. Keep us in mind for next time and we'll discount you're next adventure!

    We had the absolute best day! Becca, our guide, was phenomenal! She was so kind and knowledgeable and made our experience wonderful! The manatees were out in force and were adorable and magical! There was tons of other wildlife out and about too! Overall it couldn’t have been a better day and we will definitely be back!
