Sunrise Manatee & Wildlife Kayak Tour in Crystal River

About this activity

Begin your morning with a peaceful sunrise paddle through Crystal River. Launch from the Port Hotel in a tandem sit-on-top kayak and paddle into the Banana Island and King Spring areas of the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, where we’ll look for manatees, birds, and other local wildlife.

This is a slow-paced, small-group tour with a maximum of 6 guests. We take our time, enjoy the sunrise, and stop to observe wildlife along the way.
