1.00After traveling for almost an hour, they canceled on us at the last minute. And it's hard to get in touch with them to reschedule. Apparently they had an engine issue. And we can't get our money back.

5.00We had an incredible experience with our crew. They were prepared, knowledgeable, and made us laugh. Crew was really friendly and made my whole family feel comfortable with the experience. Seeing the manta rays at night was one of the coolest things we have done. Highly recommend! Would go back to do it again with My Kona Adventures!
