It was absolutely...

5.00It was absolutely amazing. Seeing the ocean at night was amazing and the manta rays are massive and they come within inches of your face. Tour guides provided safe travel, and brought fun vibes. Would absolutely do again. Warning: if ubering to location, Ubers become harder to find near the late start times. Schedule a ride or be prepared to leave early.

5.00It was phenomenal, an experience of a lifetime. The rays came close to us and gave us quite the show as they swam under us again and again. We couldn’t ask for a better tour company. They were knowledgeable, patient, kind, and seem to really love their job.
The experience of a lifetime

5.00What an amazing experience to swim with the manta rays. This adventure did not disappoint. We are thankful that we spent a few extra dollars to rent the GoPro camera. A big shout out to Captain Bryce and Kayden, they were professional and worked well with everyone of different experience levels.

5.00Captain Aiden and crew Caiden and Tim made the experience awesome! We got lucky and saw 10 manta rays! Great experience on the boat ride and the crew was very familiar with the activity and made sure everyone was safe throughout. One of a kind experience to be up close with the mantra rays!
So worth it!

5.00Guides Ula and Kayden were excellent ! I thought it would be cold as I’m a big wimp in the water but it was nice, got a little chilly at the end but I was too excited to care. They provided snacks,drinks and great music. The Manta Rays got so close so many times, I can’t believe they didn’t touch us!
So Worth It

5.00This may have been our favorite thing to do while on the Big Island. The workers were all friendly and helped create a relaxed and fun environment. Seeing the manta rays up close while snorkeling was such a unique experience. The manta rays would often get just a few inches away from you, which was so cool seeing them that up close. We even saw 2 dolphins swim by while snorkeling, which was such a pleasant surprise on top of an already amazing experience
So many manta rays!

5.00Ula and Kaden took great care of us. We started at 7pm and got back around 8:45. We saw so many manta rays! They set up a board with a light that we held onto and the rays came up right underneath us. There were about 2 dozen folks on our tour, and their were half a dozen other tours happening at the same time in that location. It didn't feel crowded though.
Amazing
