Chassahowitzka River Manatee Kayak & Paddleboard Tour

Join a guided paddling tour with clear-bottom kayaks, sit-on-top kayaks and paddleboards available. All paddling levels are welcome.

Itinerary

Come explore the Chassahowitzka River whose brackish waters are home to an array of sea life such as sharks, rays, crabs, a variety of fish and birds and of course our beloved manatee friends! This tour will take you down the river to the Seven Sisters Springs, the iconic Crack and give you time to explore and swim. The water here is chilly year round (sitting at roughly 70 degrees Fahrenheit) and if swimming is on your agenda, a wetsuit is highly recommended.
