5.00Small friendly group, captain and guide were great, very professional, knowledgeable, caring of customers. Really the highlight of our vacation and incredible experience. I will book with these guys every trip we have to the big island. Also enjoyed the young woman on our boat that couldn’t stop her delightful squeal through her snorkel every time the mantra rays swam directly beneath us, inches away. Nothing to fear , just beautiful creatures.
Cool View

5.00This was very cool. Nice trip om the water to by the airport to see several Rays, we went to the 8 pm. Couple notes: Take drammine if you get sea sick at all and accept the wetsuit they offer. Half our party did and half are party didn't, 30 minutes in the wind and waves and those who didn't were chilled. The water was choppy and it pulled us like a rag doll, arms were sore the next day. I imagine if you have a bad shoulder or elbow this might not feel so great.
I booked and showed up at...

1.00I booked and showed up at my day and time an I waited and waited and nobody else came. I tried calling and texting with no response. Wasted a lot of time of money on uber and on an experience I never got to have. Very sad experience.

5.00It was really really great. My wife is a non-Samar and my daughter is a 13 year-old who is a swimmer but first time having such experience. The crew was fantastic and extremely accommodating, especially John and the 18 year-old Elijah I would highly recommend them as in the middle of the ocean you need trustworthy folks around
