5.00Absolutely incredible experience! We saw so many mantas at the 9:00 tour. The entire crew, and especially Peyton, were wonderful. She was so knowledgeable, passionate and fun to talk to on the ride over.
Kid approved!

5.00It was hard to find a tour that let kids participate and this one did! All 4 of our kids ages 5-12yrs old did great! We’ve been practicing with the mask and snorkel for a month in the bath tub and pool and that probably helped them a lot. They let us use the Groupon and didn’t treat us differently for doing so. It is a small boat so they don’t give you time to get worried or stressed. By the time you’re done fitting your mask they’re having you jump in the water. It was amazing! Great crew too that were so proud of us

5.00It was awesome! The mantas get right up in your face! It was really magical. My eight year old loves it; my five year old struggled with her mask and that made it a challenge. For the littlest participants, I suggest practice snorkeling before the trip to get acclimated to the use of a snorkel. Otherwise, an awesome experience:)
Just do it

5.00Absolutely a wonderful experience. It’s a short ride out and was the experience of a lifetime. Just book it. Some of the other tours leave out of the marina by Alula beach, which is quite a long boat ride.
