We went to Three Sisters Springs via a friend's boat this past Sunday, and it was a beautiful experience. We did not get to see any manatees, which was a huge bummer, but the springs were still out of this world. The water was crystal clear, and it wasn't a very crowded day, so we weren't in the middle of... More

Three Sisters Springs is not accessible by car , but if you stop at a local Kayak rental place on the river or book a tour with local boat operators who stop outside the spring you will be seeing beautiful blue clear waters and have a chance to see Florida Manatees. It took approximately 10-15 minutes to paddle to the... More

If you are going to Chrystal River to swim with the Manatee, YOU MUST see Three Sisters Springs. Can't get there by car. You have to take a tour or rent a boat. It was so cool. Lots of resident Manatees hang out in the 1 or 2 area area. So clear and pretty. Ask your tour company if they... More

all parts of this area were loaded with manatees....mostly resting at the springs.....very cool! It was helpful to see them and observe the battle scars they bear from boats....gives you a better appreciation of them and understanding of the need to protect them.

Great day trip, try and go in the afternoon during the week it's much less crowded. Remember to respect the wild life and don't approach the manatee. If your lucky they will come up to you.

We kayaked to Three Sisters Spring on a 60 degree rainy day so there were less tourists there than usual. Still, there were plenty of pontoon boats, snorklers, and other kayakers and the place was busy. The springs were beautiful with crystal clear 70 degree water. We saw about 40 manatee at the mouth of the springs and several inside.... More

I had an amazing experience today snorkelling, while watching fish and manatees in and around three sisters. I would recommend this to anyone.

This was such a great place to interact with the Manatee during the high tide. Many were sleeping. Some were feeding and there were many nursing pups. It can get a little crowded at times. Don't wear any fins because you just end up splashing the water a lot.

This is a hidden gem that our tourguide showed us. Incredible views of the 3 sisters springs. Shallow sister, deep sister and middle sister in this serene and tranquil location.
