Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the Clear Kayak Manatee Ecotour?

A: I'd recommend wearing a swimsuit or quick-dry clothes since you'll likely get splashed! Don't forget a hat and sunscreen too, as you'll be out in the sun for a while. Water shoes or sandals that can get wet are also a good idea. Just make sure you're comfortable, and bring a towel for afterwards.

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids are welcome! The age limit is usually around 5 years, but it's best to check with Paddles Outdoor Rentals for any specific requirements. They provide life vests for all ages, and it's a great way for families to bond and enjoy nature together. Just make sure the kids can sit still in a kayak for a couple of hours!

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of our tour?

A: If there’s rain but it’s just light, they usually still go out, but if there’s thunder or heavy rain, they’ll reschedule your tour. Definitely check their policy on cancellations and how to rebook. It’s a good idea to call ahead on the day of if the forecast looks sketchy!

Just booked the Clear Kayak Manatee Ecotour! Any tips?

I’m so excited! I just booked the Clear Kayak Manatee Ecotour in Crystal River for next month. I’ve heard so much about seeing manatees up close! Is it really as amazing as it sounds? Any tips on what to bring or expect? I want to get some great photos!

Experience with the Clear Kayak Tour?

I’m thinking of gifting the Clear Kayak Manatee Ecotour to my partner for their birthday. Is it a fun experience? How was the guide? Any must-see spots other than the manatees?
