I don't know how this compares to Homosassa, but we enjoyed it.

Last December we rented kayaks from Kayaks & Beyond in Crystal River. Great people to deal with. Its a ten minute paddle from their shop to Three Sisters spring to see the manatees. We saw quite a few & took some nice photos. Although the water was a little murky from the activity of us snorkelers. From Three Sisters we paddled out into Kings bay to Crackers Restaurant for lunch then back to the Spring. We done this before & plan to go back again.
