5.00Honestly, this adventure was worth the entire trip!! Just WOW. Absolutely stunning experiencing the beauty of these manta rays up close and being SO CLOSE — literally INCHES away from them flying by (no touching though!!) Be advised the ride there and back can be a bit bumpy but also well worth it. Jacob, Jordan, and Noah were amazing guides!!!
This is the only place...

5.00This is the only place you will ever get to do this. We had so many mantas show up to our party and some pretty large ones to boot! The crew made the time more enjoyable. Jordan helped people feel safe and his fun facts during the experience made it so much better. Like the jungle ride as Disney. The friend introducing the tour and giving important details was super amazing too. And Noah jumped into a dark ocean to tie the boat off which was beyond badass. The mantas swam right up the board, inches from your face.

5.00Absolutely awesome! During nearly the whole time we saw at least one manta swimming with us. We went to a place not so crowded, I think there was only one other boat there. We stayed in the water for about 45 minutes. At some point, there were four mantas at the same time! Such a memorable experience! A man panicked in the water in the beginning but the crew managed it well and quickly, not interfering with other people’s experience. Very organized and competent crew. Highly recommend!
Prescription Goggles

5.00Absolutely loved the experience. One thing I will note is that they have prescription goggles from -1 to -6, and as someone who desperately needs this as a -6 to see anything, I feel seen 🤙
Awesome experience!

5.00This is Fantastic experience, The three tour guides are excellent, I would highly recommend if you are a nervous swimmer or beginner to go with this company, they did take care very well and did a uber service from boat to float. Thank you so much but I am sorry forgot your names as it's been a month. My 17 year old boy said this is the best experience he ever had before. He enjoyed the Hawaiian songs played in boat.
