2.00Fairly disappointed. Crew seemed more interested in getting out and back. Didn’t feel they weee focused on our overall experience. It also turns out that this night was one of 2-3 nights a year that the Bristle Worms were spawning and they were everywhere. And they sting. Not one crew member told us these worms were going to be there until after we got out of the water ant the end of the activity Almost everyone on board got stung and each person in our group had at least 3-4 stings from these worms. The crew should have warned everyone about this and given us the option of going out or not.

5.00Snorkeling with the manta rays is a MUST. Jordan was so awesome and the experience was magical. We spent a good amount of time in the water and never felt rushed.

5.00Night snorkeling with the mantas far exceeded my expectations. We saw so many of these majestic creatures, gracefully gliding just inches beneath us for most of the time we were in the water—it was truly surreal. Aiden and his crew were fantastic: knowledgeable, fun, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this unforgettable adventure!
Fun for all ages!

5.00This experience was beyond amazing! We brought our kids 2, 5 and 7 as well as my parents 69 and 72. Having the youngest and oldest on the tour was nerve wracking but Captain Jacob and his team made it so fun and easy! Our youngest was nervous to get in the water but one of the guys on the team asked my son if he was ready to get in and instantly jumped in. They were so helpful from start to finish. The manta ray experience is something we’re still talking about a month later. The GoPro video was amazing, so glad we last minute decided to do it. Been referring everyone to do this experience. So amazing! Highly recommend!
