5Absolutely Amazing and Incredible Experience! 10 Stars
Absolutely Amazing! Kaitlyn was INCREDIBLE and so personable. I loved that she was very respectful to the manatee we saw (which I really appreciated). She took tons of pictures/video's and truly made our anniversary so special. I would definitely book through Kacey's Custom Adventures again in a heartbeat! If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Thank you so much for an amazing few hours on the water!

5Best Kayak Adventure
The clear kayaks were alot of fun. The tour was 2 hours or more. One guide Lilly was amazing. Lilly and Lisa were very welcoming. They explained what to expect and gave us bags to protect our phones from the water. Lilly spoke about the area and of course manatees. We were ablebto see 5 manatees close up, even though it wasn't manatee season. Lilly took us the Three Sisters Springs, we we were able to swim The water was crystal clear. It We had a great time.

About Crystal River
Crystal River is a small town on Florida's Nature Coast, famous for clear spring-fed waters where manatees gather in winter.
Crystal River lies on Florida's Gulf coast north of Tampa, where many springs feed Kings Bay with clear water that stays at a steady 22 degrees Celsius all year. As winter cold chills the Gulf, West Indian manatees crowd into the warm water, and Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge protects them. Three Sisters Springs, a cluster of crystal-clear pools, is a manatee refuge in the cold months.
