We had a fantastic night out with Chris and Buddha. I think that Buddha is a Manta Ray Whisperer, because as soon as we got in the water with him, there were at least 10 manta rays around us. We were treated to an amazing spectacle of the rays performing their graceful ballet as they scooped up plankton right below us. I had done this trip 14 years ago (with a different company) and I thought this one was excellent. I highly recommend this experience. It’s hard to describe how life-changing it is to be so close to these gentle giants, just believe the reviews!

The rays came so close to us. So many individuals. Way beyond my expectations. Our guides, Buddha and Chris were great. I can't express how amazing this was.

One of the Hi-lights of my first trip to the Big Island after many years of going to Maui and Kaua'i. The zodiac was a very comfortable and surprisingly large boat that easily handled the 12 t0 14 group #. We were educated and entertained by Trevor the (captain) Diago, and Ryan who kept the group in water safe and informed of Manta Ray details. Our group was fortunate to see many of the Ray's. Even a breaching example and why this may occur. My only recommendation would be to have a slightly more efficient ladder for exiting the ocean. Really enjoyed and appreciated the whole experience. Thanks to the crew and Captain.
