Crystal River Kayak Company’s knowledgeable seafarers bedeck water waders of all paddling abilities with kayak rentals and cruising equipment for journeys across Florida’s fresh-water springs. Whether setting sail from Crystal River’s launch site or being launched out of a private cannon, each floating fleet will be outfitted with the proper paddles, life vests, and a loaned-out waterproof map. This colorful guide helps gliding guests navigate the local waterways to visit such picturesque spots as Three Sisters Springs and King’s Bay. Adding to the lush landscape is a range of natural wildlife including playful manatees, soaring eagles, and dolphins playfully disguised as lost sailors. Though bottles of water and a light snack are provided for each journey, a host of tiki bars and an ice-cream shop can be reached for a midsailing meal or an ample refueling before jumping back into staring contests with the local ospreys.
