5.00This was soooo worth the money and a great experience. Jacob, Bayley and the other operator (so sorry I can’t remember his name) made it so fun and enjoyable. I could not recommend this more
Amazing trip!

5.00Everything was amazing!! We met at the dock, got checked in and boarded the boat. There are go pros to rent, I had my own but if you love photos like me I would say it would be very worth it to do and have the photos! The boat ride was about 20 minutes out to the location. The entire crew Aiden, Tim and AJ were nice helpful and funny making for a great experience. Once in the water we saw manta rays non stop! I don’t think there was ever a time we could see less than one often 5-6 at a time. Before we even got in the water you could see them near the surface. After about an hour in the water we got back in the boat and headed back. The water is chilly and I was cold the entire time in but so worth it! I brought two towels and a windbreaker for the ride back and warmed up quickly once out of the water. They do provide a wetsuit that helped with the cold. I would highly recommend and do it again!
I loved the experience....

5.00I loved the experience. The crew was very supportive and friendly. Captain Jacob is very experienced and supportive, giving all the people the confidence. I truly recommend. The manta ray show is unbelievable. Just an advice: bring towel and dry clothes to change in the boat after Manta Ray show. They offer hot shower and you can change the clothes because the way back has very wind condition and cold.
This adventure was...

5.00This whole experience, from the check in process to getting off the boat, was wonderful. The directions got us right where we needed to be and staff were there to greet us immediately. Captain Aiden and the crew were amazing. They were engaged, entertaining and helpful. They all went the extra mile both on the boat and in the water. We were lucky enough to see many manta rays the whole 45-minutes we were in the water. It was an unbelievable experience and far surpassed my expectations, the hi-light of our trip for sure. Make sure you bring a sweatshirt and towel for the ride back, it gets chilly getting out of the water and on the short ride back to the marina. Book this excursion, you won’t regret it!
Absolutely amazing

5.00Aiden, AJ, and Avery did a fabulous job during this tour! They made sure everyone felt safe and got help when they needed it. A fun atmosphere on the way out and back to the manta rays. The manta rays themselves were 10000/10. We saw about 12 of them and they showed off! Such an amazing and unique experience! If you’re debating it, DO IT 🤩
