Why We Love This Unique Experience
Discover the wonders of the Chassahowitzka River with an exclusive clear kayak tour near Crystal River. Known as "The Chaz," this hidden gem is a haven of natural springs and lush vegetation, offering a serene and immersive experience unlike any other. Glide through the crystal-clear waters in our clear kayaks and witness a thriving ecosystem below the surface, where manatees, otters, and various fish species call home. Above you, majestic eagles and ospreys soar, completing the picturesque scenery.

Paddle your way to Seven Sisters Springs, a magical spot with limestone cave tunnels leading from one opening to another, inviting you to dive and explore. Continue downstream to Baird Creek, a meandering waterway accessible only by small paddle crafts, offering a glimpse of nature reminiscent of a scene from Jurassic Park. This experience is a true immersion in the beauty and biodiversity of Florida's natural landscape.

Experience Overview:
Chassahowitzka River Clear Kayak Springs & Manatee ToursYou’ve probably never heard of it, but once you paddle The Chaz, you’ll never forget it! Tucked away on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the Chassahowitzka River is a spring-fed paradise bursting with wildlife, winding creeks, and hidden gems like The Crack and Seven Sisters Springs. It’s quiet, wild, and totally different from anything you’ve seen in Florida.
We offer two seasonal clear kayak tours here:
Manatee Season Tours (Nov 15–Mar 31): focused on spotting these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
Summer Springs Tours (Apr 1–Nov 14): all about spring-hopping, wildlife, and swimming in stunning freshwater springs.
You’ll paddle through crystal-clear water in a 100% clear kayak with a local guide, spotting fish, birds, turtles - and maybe even a manatee or dolphin. Come see why The Chaz is one of Florida’s best-kept secrets!

Your adventure begins at Seven Sisters Campground, tucked along a quiet canal just off the main Chassahowitzka River. From there, we’ll paddle to the famous Seven Sisters Springs, where clear water flows over ancient limestone formations. You’ll see natural underwater tunnels connecting the springs—perfect for a little swim or just soaking in the view.
Next, we’ll head downstream to Baird Creek, a winding waterway only accessible by small paddle crafts. Surrounded by overhanging trees and untouched wilderness, it feels like stepping into a real-life jungle—many guests say it’s like paddling through a scene from Jurassic Park.
This tour offers a mix of stunning spring views, hidden corners of “Old Florida,” and plenty of chances to spot wildlife along the way. Whether you're paddling, swimming, or just floating and taking it all in, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.
