5.00What an amazing experience!!! We had a small group of 11 (5 of them were kids 8-11). We were fortunate enough to see not 1 but 3 Manta Rays. They come so close to you but we felt safe the whole time. Taco , Koa and Max were our guides and were very nice and helpful with our kiddos who got a bit nervous half way through . Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone and would go again! Thank you !

5.00The captain and Peyton were great on the boat and we saw several manta rays with the help of Jenny who was in the water with us! This is a must-do on the island and would definitely do it again!
Do it. You won’t regret it!

5.00This was the most wild experience! I am a huge ocean lover, my husband was iffy on it, but after we got back on the boat we both looked at each other and said that was incredible! Truly worth the time and money! The team was great, educational, and we saw so many rays so close they were brushing up against some of us on our board! This was something you can’t do anywhere else, so do it while you can!!
Amazing experience

1.00We never got to experience the tour, they canceled it due to a bad weather… When I tried to get a rebooking, they only had 11 PM available so we didn’t get to do it and it was one of the things I was looking forward to. Not the company’s fault that a storm rolled in… Just really bad luck, but I wish they would have called and been more accommodating to a tour the following day at the same time because I would have really wanted to do that.
Would highly recommend
