5.00Epic experience and a must do! Aiden, our captain, was fantastic and really added to the adventure. He had a great sense of humor and vast knowledge of geography. Jeremiah and Tim were also great guides in the water.
Wonderful Experience

5.0012/10 experience. Our 11 year old said that it was probably the coolest thing she has ever done. We couldn’t believe how close the manta rays get to you. Definitely something we will always remember!!!!!
Amazing experience, once...

5.00We had an awesome snorkeling experience with hang loose tours. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids aged 5 and 8. Our boat captain Ulo and Jordan were excellent in assisting us with our young kids. We also had to reschedule our tour to another date and the hang loose office staff (Tom) helped us rebook another date and time. Overall it was a fun experience sighting the beautiful Manta rays in the night.
Everyone should do this once!!

5.00Once in a lifetime experience! Mahalo to Aiden and crew for the family memories you helped us create. May the words of your song spread throughout the Pacific and beyond.

5.00Amazing experience! I have been to Galapagos and swan with penguins, hammerhead sharks and all wild life from Galapagos area but nothing like this. The mantas dance for you inches away from your body and many times it feels like they want to hug you. A must do in the Big Island. Even more exciting than the earthquake we experienced the next night!
Incredible Experience!

5.00This activity is awesome! The crew was amazing. The check in process is easy, and everyone on staff was great. Plenty of help from the crew if you need it. There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe the experience, and to describe the wonderful staff. I definitely recommend this activity!
