5.00We actually went on Saturday 4th. So glad we moved the date because the weather was absolutely perfection. It was warm outside, the water was warm, the crew was amazing and the Manta Ray snorkel was the highlight of my entire vacation. It was pure magic. My husband wants to say something too. This was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. The energy from everyone was ecstatic and joyful. The captain, Jacob, and his crew, Vince and Noah, were exceptionally attentive and make sure everybody had a very good time! I personally have never had an experience that was life-changing like this! My wife and I are gonna talk about this for ages and we'll make the trip to do this again and again!
Scam - phony scheduling

1.00This was a complete scam. Purchased the tour, showed up at 5:30 for what was advertised as a 6pm tour. Come to find out it was for 7pm. But when the guides showed up they said we weren’t on the list. Come to find out they put us on a 9pm. This is an easy way for businesses to leverage you when your guard is down on vacation and make a few bucks. Did not go on tour because we did not feel comfortable with the operators.
Don’t miss this!

5.00Most spectacular thing I have ever seen in my life. So magical and graceful. A must see when you’re in Kona, Hawaii.
We got to the dock right...

5.00We got to the dock right around 7:30 pm. Given that it was dark and the dock area is pretty big, I'd recommend giving yourself at least 10 minutes before the meeting time to figure out where to go and to park

5.00Great experience. Everything was seamless. Everyone on board was friendly, helpful and kind. I appreciate the sense of humor while we were in the water with the manta rays. The warm shower after getting back onboard from the cold water was great. My son had a great time.
