1Three Sisters Springs
Three Sisters Springs is the crown jewel of Crystal River — a breathtaking cluster of turquoise spring vents that flow directly into Kings Bay. Known for its glass-clear water and white-sand bottom, it’s one of the most beautiful natural springs in Florida and a sanctuary for hundreds of West Indian manatees during the winter months. Paddling or floating near Three Sisters feels like entering another world — the water is so clear you can see every ripple, fish, and gentle glide of a manatee below you. In the cooler months, the springs become a warm refuge for manatees escaping the Gulf’s chilly waters, creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe these peaceful giants in their natural habitat. Access to the springs is by water only, keeping it quiet and pristine. Guests can kayak, paddleboard, or snorkel nearby, surrounded by tropical vegetation, cypress roots, and sunbeams filtering through the water like liquid light.
