5.00This tour was AWESOME!!! The tour was about an hour long, but it was action packed the whole time! We saw several manta rays, some coming inches away from me! And the whole crew was exceptional, making you feel at ease throughout the experience. My Kona Adventures is also one of the most reasonably priced tours. This is a MUST DO if you come to the Big Island!
Magical manta ray experience!
