About This Adventure

Meet some of Florida’s most celebrated creatures.

Crystal River is a terrific area to kayak. King Bay is an easy to navigate circle of about 3 miles in diameter, and 660 acres of water. We give you a map and easy directions to follow, you will not get lost within our bay, there is no significant current. We have world famous springs like Three Sisters and many lesser known ones that are pretty to see and allow you get away and schedule your day as you wish. Jurassic and Hunter Springs are well known and popular for their clarity, as well as other springs on the east side of the bay. The headsprings of Three Sisters Springs is open to kayakers from May 1st to November 15th, when the sanctuaries go up for the winter season. You will see plenty of manatees while kayaking on the cold winter days, and there is always an abundance of wildlife to see on Kings Bay including occasional dolphin sightings and our local Tarpon that gather right next to our dive center.
