5.00It was the best Manta Ray experience we have ever had. The experience was just as advertised and ran very smoothly. The water was warm and the views of the Rays was exceptional.
Do this if you do nothing else

5.00If you do nothing else on the big island, do this. We spent about a week and a half on the island, went to almost every beach, every lookout, hiked, saw Kīlauea erupt, but this was hands down the best thing on the trip. An all time life experience. It’s a fun boat ride, and you’re inches from all the mantas, and it’s just long enough that you don’t freeze in the water. Absolutely amazing.
5 Stars all the way

5.00The captain and Jeremiah our guide were absolutely amazing. The took us on a smooth cruise out to location right after a very entertaining safety brief. Then upon arrival to the location had us in the water within five minutes. We had mantas from the second we got in to the second we got out as well as fun facts and all our questions answered. Overall a ten out of ten experience
Memorable Mesmirizing Mantas

5.00This was a once in a lifetime experience for us. My daughter and I enjoyed every minute. The manta rays were there to greet us the minute I jumped in. They never stopped playing and some sharks came along (gentle ones) to see the action. Thank you for a memorable evening!
Excellent Experience

5.00Be comfortable with snorkel gear in water. Boat ride to the location was a bit bumpy. Fortunately my wife did not come, she would have struggled with the bumpy ride in. My son loved the experience. Manta rays swim inches away from you, sometimes touching you. Once in a lifetime experience. Carry towels for sure.
Most amazing experience!!

5.00Most amazing thing I have ever seen! We had 9 manta rays swimming within inches of us. I would recommend this to any adventurous spirit. My 9 and 7 year old said it was “the best night of their lives!” The crew, Kayden and Kayden, (not making that up :-) were very helpful and kind. Fabulous!!!
