Overview

Begin your day surrounded by calm waters, golden sunrise light, and the chance to quietly drift alongside manatees in Kings Bay. This gentle tour is designed for comfort and ease — a short paddle with high rewards, perfect for couples, grandparents, and first-time paddlers.

-Gentle, calm sunrise paddle in Kings Bay
-Short distance, beginner-friendly, safe sit-on-top kayaks
-Excellent chance to see manatees year-round (best Dec–Feb)
-Peaceful, uncrowded springs before the crowds arrive
-Guided by Captain Scotty, Florida native with 20+ years’ experience
-Small group sizes for a personal, relaxed feel

-Manatees? 40–50 residents year-round; hundreds in winter. Not guaranteed, but we will take you to where they’re most likely to be.
-Alligators? They live in all Florida waters, but in Crystal River they avoid busy areas.
-Sharks? None in Crystal River’s freshwater.
-Falling in? Rare — kayaks are wide & stable.
-Rain? Light rain is fine; reschedules/credits for unsafe weather.
