    Worth! Once in a lifetime opportunity you shouldn’t miss. The guides were informative and fun! It was easy to get in and out of the boat they even have a ladder. The blue light is definitely better it attracted more manta rays than the white light the other groups were using. It also doesn’t strain your eyes as much which means more time looking at manta rays!

  • A Must Do Activity while on the Big Island!

    This was the most amazing experience! Despite the torrential downpour of rain, this was by far the highlight of our trip! So many manta rays and even a rare visit from a spinner dolphin!! The staff was super friendly and I would highly recommend Dolphin Discoveries for any activity!!
