Kayaking Crystal River, Florida and the King's Bay is a fun, beautiful, and fulfilling experience. Renting the right equipment, kayak rental or canoe rental, is a must so you can enjoy your trip.

Just think... From a canoe rental or kayak rental you can go paddling, swimming, snorkeling, see manatees, and just enjoy nature and the great outdoors as an excursion or vacation.

The sport of kayaking is a great was to get aerobic exersize outside while getting close to nature, seeing all sorts of wildlife including our Crystal River Manatees in Florida's fresh water springs. Our kayak launch where we rent kayaks and canoes, is just 10 minutes to The Three Sister's Springs. 3 Sister's is a great place to go swimming and snorkeling. Our rental kayaks and canoe rentals are a great way to get there.

When you rent a kayak or canoe at A Crystal River Kayak Company you'll be only a short 10 minute paddle to the Three Sister's Springs, 20 minutes to the King's Bay, and less than 30 minutes to three different waterfront Tiki bars and ice cream shop where food and beverages are served. No parking hassles here, no waiting around for boats, no shuttles needed, and no meeting in multiple places as we have fast and friendly service from our kayaking family right on site.

Everything you need to enjoy your kayaking excursion is provided for you. Besides the kayak rental or canoe rental you'll receive a Kayak paddle or canoe paddle, and life vest. We loan you a colour waterproof map of King's Bay and surrounding waterways, which have icons showing many places to stop and see. We also give you a bottle of water for hydration and snack to eat which are all complimentary.

You can do your own self-guided kayak tour or canoe trip of the Crystal River headwaters and King's Bay, and Three Sister's Springs, or check out our guided kayak trips, and kayak tours.
