  • MUST DO! Manta’s are so cool!

    Absolutely unreal. I didn’t fully understand how huge they are until they’re literally right under you. Had a little seasickness after a while but totally worth it. Take some meds and don’t eat before you go. You CANNOT touch them but sometimes they swim so close they touch you. And no, these are not the same as Steve Irwin’s stingrays, these don’t have teeth or stingers/barbs, etc…so they can’t hurt you. Our guide Greg said it best — it’s the bucket list item you don’t even know you have until you do it!

  • Would recommend!

    This tour was excellent and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting the Big Island. Watching the manta rays up close was unforgettable, and being out on the ocean at night made it a truly unique experience.

  • A must do experience

    This was the most INSANE and BREATHTAKING thing I’ve done! 1000/10 recommend. Came to celebrate a birthday. The crew was very knowledgeable, helpful and comforting and knew exactly what they were doing! They guided me to the board from the boat so if you need a little help they are more than patient and willing. I highly recommend this team and it is an amazing price! I wish it were longer but we did see manta rays! I cannot wait to book again in the future.

    Peyton and Taco were the best guides I could’ve asked for on this dive. They were very knowledgeable about the mantas behaviors and were very thorough with the process of the dive ahead of time so I felt very comfortable and confident as a first timer in and out of the water. All I can say is that this experience will be one I can only describe as magical and spiritual. It was such a beautiful experience and one I’ll always remember. I definitely recommend this experience 100% and would give this crew 100 stars if I could!! Mahalo 💕
