Kayak or canoe in the Crystal River, Florida area. It's the place to see manatees by kayak as they swim and play below in the warm waters of our fresh water springs. Kayaking is a growing sport which offers an outdoor adventure you can't get from any other sport.

Kayak rentals are easy from Crystal River Kayak Company, and you can see the largest herd of both seasonal as well as full-time resident manatees in King's Bay, the headwaters of the Crystal River. When you rent a kayak or canoe from A Crystal River Kayak Company, you're going to get an experience you won't forget.

We have our very own canoe and kayak launch on site so no need to shuttle, meet up anywhere, make appointments, or leave your car far away. You can rent a kayak or canoe from us or launch your own kayak or canoe for a minimal fee. From here you can swim, snorkel, and dive at the Three Sister's Springs which is just a 10 minute padde up a protective canals away from the winds and fast moving power boats.

Try kayak fishing here in our native waters. We have grouper, snapper, trout, redfish and black drum, plus all the predatory fish like shark, barracuda, tarpon, and jack. Once you've gone kayak fishing you'll be "hooked."

From a kayak watch the sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. We have some of the most beautiful sunsets over open waters, along with the silhouette of the many coastal islands in the background.

There's no end to the fun you can have from a kayak or canoe.

Whether you have your own kayak or canoe, or want to rent a canoe or kayak from us, we'll assist you in your paddling excursion. Along with manatees, you can see other wildlife in their natural surroundings such as Otters, Dolphins, Great Blue Herons, Eagles, Egrets and Ospreys which have all been viewed from our kayaks.

We also specialize in kayaks for sale, along with a large selection of kayaking and paddling accessories. We offer guided kayak tours and canoe trips to great places like Ozello, the Ocala National Forest, rivers of the Withlacoochee and Chazzahowitzka.
