One of the coolest...

5.00One of the coolest experiences of my life. We saw tons of huge mantas (they took us to the spot where Manta Ray Night Diving first started). Couldn’t recommend this experience or this company enough. The entire staff was well trained, friendly, and very accommodating. Jared at Big Island Outdoor served us so well and even went above and beyond to reschedule us when something came up and my wife and I weren’t able to make it at our original time. I would 100% recommend this for first-timers and everyone else. Tour took 1.5 hours from check in, drive over, water time, and back to the car. If you don’t want to pay for the frilly extras and just want to go see mantas as quick as possible, this is the tour for you. Highlight of our trip
absolutely amazing! so...
