    The guides (Kip and Amanda) were top notch. The outfit was clean and sanitary. The boat was in great condition as was the gear. They oriented everyone perfectly. They have drones to help find the manatee and are the first outfits on the water in the morning. We saw a lot of manatee and stayed with a mom and baby

    So many fun memories made!!

    ‍ Magical Day at Three Sisters Springs ‍ Yesterday was pure magic. Captain Will and his amazing coworker Kayla took my family out to Three Sisters Springs. Bird's Underwater and Dive Manatee Tours ensured we'd have a day we would never forget. My sis in law and I learned how to be mermaids with Kayla's instructions (dream come true!), my husband even got to scuba dive, and my parents jumped in and swam with us! The water was crystal clear, we saw a few manatees, and the memories we made... unforgettable. Kayla also ensured we had photos same day along with video of our adventure. Captain Will did a great job navigating the springs and showing us all the wildlife. Upon finishing our swim, it was quite chilly but they ensured we had coffee and hot chocolate as we got back on the boat. He and Kayla were excellent hosts. Grateful for the sunshine, the family time, and the little moments that turn into lifelong memories. We definitely recommend!! #MermaidMagic #ThreeSistersSprings #CrystalRiver #FamilyAdventure #UnderwaterDreams #MermaidInTraining #MagicalMoments

    Fantastic experience with the team at Bird's Underwater! From the start, Christian was incredibly helpful--offering solid advice on gear and sharing great recommendations for local dive spots. I met Mike at Rainbow Springs for my first dive, then headed to Blue Grotto for the second. He walked me through the dive plans and gave a great rundown of the wildlife we might encounter. Overall, an awesome day in the water. Looking forward to diving with you all again--thanks for everything!

    The boat and snorkelers

    We did a manatee snorkel adventure through our Girl Scout chapter with Birds Underwater and it was amazing! Cody got the group of mixed Scouts checked in and trained quickly. They were spot on with wet suit sizes and answered all our questions. Then we were off with Captain Mike and Manatee Guide Brian. Both were friendly and knowledgeable. Mike found the manatees and Brian guided us in the water so we could see them up close. It's off season so it was t as easy as season but we still had a blast. Prepare to be chilly, bring towels and blankets for when you get out of the water. When in the water, the wetsuits help and we acclimated quickly. Thanks for a great time!

    Michelle and Kaylin (I know i probably misspelled) were phenomenal glad we went back for a second time all the way from Ohio. Definitely the next time down by / around here we will have to run it back thanks again guys

    This is from the kayaking trip. I stuck my phone down into the water.

    They are my go to whenever I'm in the area. Absolutely the best! Friendly staff, great tours, and excellent service!!! This visit we rented kayaks the first trip out, and a manatee tour about a week later. Loved my tour guide Rosie and our Captain Owen. They provided laughs and were both very informative. Very thankful for the photos that Rosie took of the tour. Had plenty pics of the manatee, but very few of me with manatee, so was grateful for the ones she took. I know I will be back!!!

    Went scalloping for the first time with my family! It was such a great experience! Shoutout to Ben! He is fun, Knowledgeable and patient! I was a little anxious and he took the time to make me feel at ease. Even though this season hasn't been great (scallops were hard to find) the experience itself was so worth it! See you next year!

    Unforgettable! We had an AMAZING time with birds Underwater our captain Glenn was Great & very knowledgeable. The Trip was very safe, clean & fun! By far the best tour I've ever taken beats a tour in Hawaii. Must try while in Florida, most memorable experience I've had on any vacation. We swam with about 10 manatees three were momma & baby.

    The closest we got to a manatee. It was grazing and wanted nothing to do with us, but at least we could observe it.

    Service was 5 star. Captain Paul went absolutely above and beyond. He is very knowledgeable and charming and Crystal was also a pleasure and was great with my daughter. Paul was honest right off the bat and said we weren't visiting any manatees in any clear spring water because they weren't there, and the water would be like "chocolate milk." Major bummer and we probably would have left then and there if we weren't hours away from home and had already stayed in a hotel. A friend that was there two days prior said they were indeed in the springs, but Crystal said the only manatees in the springs were sick manatees...? We would have loved to see the gorgeous Three Sisters Springs, but maybe next time.... So we went on a hunt to find manatees with a bunch of other boats, and Paul successfully found a few. We saw about five throughout the day, but unfortunately it was in that nasty water. Paul and Crystal did a great job staying optimistic throughout the day, and told us that the day we were there was the first of many hard days to follow. We bought the pictures from them, and they aren't the best, but are exactly what we saw. A handful of seacows in chocolate milk. I hate to break the 5 star trend, but the rule on Yelp is you have to compare the business to comparable businesses and this one falls short for two reasons. 1- Wetsuits were 3mm, at a nearby competitor they are 5mm. Those extra 2mm would have been nice and it also would have been nice to have a.... 2-Towel- No towels on the boat. Silly me had some in the car for after the trip and on the way home, assuming they would be like the nearby competitors and have towels available for when you get out of the freezing water. Nope. They didn't. So would I go on their boat again, possibly, but they surely need to upgrade those wetsuits.

    The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable . Our dive guide Emmet was so kind to our kids and…read morethe captain Tom was funny and so knowledgeable about the area!! The dive itself was lacking for our trip. The water was incredibly murky and we could barely see anything while snorkeling. No fault of the staff or company- just the conditions for our trip. We were there in early April which is outside of peak season. if you can go during the peak season I'd recommend this company!

    This was fun! A little different than what I expected but still fun…read more We got to the place 15 minutes early and waited about 30 minutes until we had any instruction. They walked us through a mini aquarium, then we watched an instructional video and got into wetsuits. Once in the wet suit, we waited about 30-40 more minutes in another room before being picked up. I probably would have brought a snack if I had realized it would be an hour between arriving and actually going anywhere. The staff members on the boat were cool, we liked talking to them. I feel like in the ads and on social media the water is super clear and there are tons of manatees, but it was extremely murky and it took us a long time to find one manatee. Swimming with the manatee was so cool, but we could barely tell when we were near it because the water was so murky. The guide in the water did a great job at keeping us near it, but also at a respectful distance.
