Adventure Tips

Use waterproof sunscreen

The freshwater springs reflect sunlight intensely, so apply waterproof sunscreen to avoid sunburn.

Wear water shoes

Protect your feet from rocky bottoms and submerged debris when entering and exiting the watercraft.

Bring a dry bag

Keep your phone, keys, and snacks dry by using a waterproof bag on your kayak or paddleboard.

Watch for manatees

Maintain a respectful distance from manatees and avoid sudden movements to preserve local wildlife tranquility.

History

Crystal River is the only place in North America where manatees gather in natural springs during winter months, a tradition protected since establishment of the area’s wildlife refuges in the 1980s.

Conservation

Local operators carefully clean and maintain equipment to prevent introducing invasive species, supporting the fragile freshwater ecosystem’s health.
