Spectacular experience!

5.00Absolutely, hands down, one of the coolest and most unique experiences of my life. My wife enjoyed it, my son wished he had a wet suit for warmth and my daughter freaked out a bit with how close they get. Overall though, it was a bucket list adventure that we enjoyed. Glad we brought the GoPro to capture it all. Mikey and the crew were great!
Incredible experience!

5.00We had such an amazing experience on this tour!! We saw many manta rays during our short snorkeling trip - it was quite magical. The whole crew (Captain Koa, Jacob, and Max, and also Peyton who checked us in) was so great! Thank you!!

5.00We had an unforgettable experience with our manta ray night snorkel!! We initially bought a Groupon (after communication with the company first as directed on the Groupon page). They were very responsive to which times our vouchers qualified for and made the booking easy. Check in was easy. Bring you own towels! On our night tour we had 10 people and saw about 5 rays continuous for about 20 minutes! Kekai was our guide and was very informative and he interacted with other guides to get us the best experience! It was absolutely amazing!! We were supported by Captain Mike and Fisher who helped us get on/off the boat smoothly.
Great experience

5.00Great experience! It was a small boat with 8 of us, which we loved because we weren’t with 50 other strangers. We got in quickly and we were in the water for 45-50 minutes because every time we went to get out, more mantas kept coming.
Very disorganized, we...

1.00Very disorganized, we missed our time slot due to the woman at the table telling us to stay by the bathrooms which lead to another group taking our spot. She then complained that we misheard her and claimed that she had to hold our hands and walk us to the right spot. Very disrespectful and disappointing to hear that from the workers. They need to be more organized.
Must do

5.00This experience surpassed my expectations. The manta rays were so much larger and swam closer than I was expecting. The crew was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and the manta rays.
A once in a lifetime opportunity and memory. Very easy and simple. Anyone can do.
