3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Unlike most paddleboard rentals, our location puts you right inside the heart of Crystal River’s Three Sisters Springs and Manatee Refuge — one of Florida’s most iconic and wildlife-rich waterways. Paddle through crystal-clear 72°F (23°C) spring water year-round, with a chance to spot gentle manatees in every season and peak sightings in the winter months.

Our rentals are beginner- and family-friendly, welcoming ages 2 and up, and include stable paddleboards, safety gear, and a quick orientation so you feel confident before you launch. Explore at your own pace, discover hidden coves, and enjoy a safe, calm environment with no sharks or alligators — just peaceful wildlife and pristine scenery. Stay close to shore for a leisurely paddle or venture farther into the bay to experience the best of Crystal River’s waterways. For even more adventure, upgrade to a clear-bottom kayak, tandem kayak, or add snorkeling gear and create memories you’ll treasure forever.

What to expect

Glide across the crystal-clear waters of Three Sisters Springs in the protected Manatee Refuge on a self-guided paddleboard adventure. Enjoy year-round 72°F (23°C) spring water, peaceful wildlife, and the chance to see manatees in every season.

This beginner- and family-friendly rental includes a stable paddleboard, paddle, and life jacket, so you can explore at your own pace with confidence. Navigate hidden coves, spot fish and birds, and soak in the natural beauty of one of Florida’s most famous springs. Manatees live in King’s Bay all year long, with peak sightings in January and February, and the calm, safe waters mean no sharks or alligators — just a relaxing day on the water. Optional tandem kayaks, sit-on-top kayaks, clear-bottom kayaks, and snorkeling gear are also available to enhance your adventure.
