5.00What a fantastic experience! The tour operators were very professional and they had us seeing manta rays within minutes of entering the water. We saw many, many manta rays in the time we were in the water. It was great having such a small group of people, I highly recommend this tour!

5.00It was such an amazing experience! And I felt safe in the water when I'm not a strong swimmer. I'd recommend anyone to try this out, it's worth the money to get in the water.

5.00The small group worked great - better acess without needing to work around a bunch of people. Saw nothing the first night, but true to their word, Kona Adventures scheduled us for another try and we ended up swimming in Manta Ray soup - they were everywhere.
AMAZING!
