Kayaking with Manatees on Crystal River - Three Sisters Spring - Crystal River Plantation, Florida
Three Sisters Spring is an important natural habitat for manatees from mid-November until late March. The natural spring water remains a constant 72 degrees and the manatees gather in the warmth to rest and feed over the winter months. During our visit in late January we were able to see hundreds of manatees of all sizes in the waters beneath us! We rented kayaks from the Crystal River Plantation and paddled about a mile over to Three Sisters Spring. The area is roped off for conservation and was crowded with snorkelers and boats, but we were still able to see many manatees in the water. Some swam right beside our kayaks! It was an amazing experience and the area is well suited for the sightseers. There was even an island with a small beach area we stopped at for a rest.

Kayaking with Manatees Crystal River
Such a gorgeous day kayaking with manatees in Crystal River, Florida.
During the colder months, the manatees of Florida flock from the ocean and swim through the intricate web of rivers and channels to the warmer and shallower waters.
In January, we were lucky enough to spend the day with them. We decided not to swim with them for an hour or so, opting to rather hire a kayak for the entire day and watch them at our leisure.
This way, the manatees dictated the encounter and the curious sea-cows would often poke their noses out of the water to sniff around the kayak and see what was going on.
Amongst the 200 or so manatees in the area that day were lots of beautiful calves and mothers out and about. From above the somewhat murky water, you would never even know these gentle giants were laying and playing beneath.
Further through the channels to the springs, the clarity of the water was incredible. A highly recommended day if you're in Florida!

KAYAKING WITH MANATEES at Hunter Springs | Crystal River, Florida
After our RV trip came to an end, we decided to stay in Florida for the holidays. This happens to be the best time to see the manatees, and our hometown, Crystal River, happens to be the best place to see them. In fact, its the only place in the world where you can legally still swim with the manatees.
We decided to take our Advanced Elements inflatable kayak out for a paddle to Hunter Springs, one of the best places to see the manatees without joining a tour. You can launch your kayak or paddleboard right there, or rent from one of the nearby shops, and find yourself surrounded by manatees right off the shoreline. It really is an incredible thing to witness.
