5.00This was the most wondrous experience of our trip! We were hoping to see 1 or 2 manta rays but we saw 8! Our crew leaders were friendly, funny, and ensured all participants knew what to expect, which put the group at ease. The manta rays were graceful giants that would glide inches from us where we floated, and our guides kept us positioned in the right place so we could just take it all in without being concerned with the world above for a while. 1000% recommend!
Amazing Night!

5.00This was such an incredible adventure! Our guides, Ulu and Jordan, were fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt completely safe the entire time. Snorkeling with manta rays at night was truly magical and something I’ll never forget. It was well organized, worth every penny, and a must-do if you’re visiting the Big Island. Highly recommend this tour!
