My family had a wonderful time at this attraction. This was a beautiful area and seeing manatees in the wild was amazing!

Had a really great experience with an 11 AM Manatee Bird's Underwater Swim Tour. The 3-hour + Tour was well organized and well led. The two-person boat guides were excellent and made the extra effort to move and find the manatees when at first they were hard to locate due to spring weather and water conditions. We were able to swim with them and it was a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended especially for families with children.

Awesome experience with Kay and Kip. They went out of their way to ensure we had a safe and awesome adventure. Both were very knowledgeable and friendly.

I took the 6 am public manatee tour this past Saturday (March 9). I decided to take this tour as it was the earliest one I could. While I brought my own snorkel gear, they provided wetsuits, which despite the warm weather, were fantastic to have once you hopped into the water. The total group was small with 5 total guests and one in-water guide.
Sadly, with the recent warm weather, nearly all the manatees were gone. We spotted one from the boat, but were unable to enter the water with them due to the location. However, the crew did an amazing job of checking every nook and cranny of the bay and getting in touch with others to see if there were any other sightings. When we found nothing, they gave us the option to check out some springs and we took it! We still got the chance to hop into the water to see some aquatic wildlife and unique geology. The tour was a fantastic way to see other wildlife, especially birds. My two guides provided lots of great information on the bay, manatees, and other wildlife as well.
If I am back in the area earlier in the manatee season, I'd absolutely hop on this tour again! (Also, donuts are included)

We have been to bird's ~4 times in the past 5 years and always have a great experience. The staff are friendly, kind, and do everything they can to give you the best experience. We normally go in December but this time we went in March. Unfortunately the weather shifted right before we came so it was quite the adventure of finding out where they were hanging out. Captain Kip did everything he could to help us have the greatest experience, including taking us to multiple springs and canals to find us some great interactions.
Would definitely recommend Bird's over other companies in the area. Definitely a more personal experience. However, timing and weather is everything. You (or Birds) cannot control the manatees or the weather. Definitely would recommend December or January, over March.

This was our second time with birds underwater and it was amazing again. We went late season so we didn’t get to see as many manatees but they made sure we were able to see a few and still made sure we got enough time for our group to enjoy the boat ride and the springs. I would go again!

Super fun experience. We came in as a group of about 12 from a Gray Line Tours booking. Zach was the guide and Rylan was the captain. Both were knowledgeable and made the boat ride and information about the area and manatees very interesting. My husband was having a problem finding his balance in the water and Zach was wonderful about noticing and cuing him into feeling calm. We did see a manatee with our snorkeling gear and it was exciting. The water was mirky and my untrained eyes had to get used to the shapes in the water. But Zach took pictures and they were great. Thank you Zach and Rylan for the time and attention to make it a terrific experience.

We did the 6am tour which I highly recommend. This company goes out the earliest of any other tour operator, so for a brief moment you are alone.
-Just a quick note if you GPS the location google has difficulty finding it, so I would recommend doing a drive by first, rather than trying to find it in the dark at 6am like we did
-At check in you get a wet suit and change into it. You then watch a short video called manatee manners. Then you are off to find the manatees
-you go to one snorkel spot, but it is all you need. The spot is amazing!
-Regarding skill level: you are advised not to kick. Everyone has a pool noodle so you can float as much as possible and then you basically either dog paddle or breast stroke your way forward. Again, you are advised not to kick because that disturbs and scares the manatees. Since you are using only arm strength some degree of fitness is required as it is a bit of a swim to get to the manatees. There were a couple of small children in the group but, I do think they struggled a bit to keep up because of the swimming level required for this. Just something to take note of.

Kayla was a charming guide. She shot some excellent underwater photos of my family near the manatees. I really like that they leave at 6am before the other boats get there.

Is there any enhanced cleaning of equipment due to Covid-19? I did not see any mention of this on the website or in Trip Advisor comments. I'm skeptical about putting a snorkeling mouthpiece that has been used by a stranger an hour ago into my mouth during this pandemic.

On the scalloping tours, do we clean them or do they?

Our guide offered to clean the scallops while we were in the water. He cleaned the other couple’s scallops b/c the guy said he would give him a big tip. He didn’t get to mine but showed me how to do it at home. Not easy! His tip reflected my disappointment. Nobody was in the dock offering to clean them for $$$.

Stephan,
During warmer months we have a resident population of manatee in the 35-40 numbers. The part of their home range that the refuge is in ( that's were the tours are done) would have 10-16 of those at that time of the year. We see manatee on 99% of our tours. They are interested in the people more on the morning tours.
Thanks,
Birds

Are wet suits and snorkeling gear provided with cost of the tour or is that additional to the tour cost? Thanks!

Please contact the business itself at (352) 563-2763. I am not sure about this as I have never been a tour where a wheelchair person was present.

We didn’t have a camera so they let us use theirs and then they transferred the photos on a pendrive that we bought. Very helpful

How big are the 6am groups for the Manatee snorkel? I don't see the answer to that on Bird's website....6 or 30?

I booked with Bird after finding out that while they allow up to 30 people to book the public 6am tour (its early but you WANT the 6am) they send 6-8 out on each boat. Our morning had 4 boats go out.
