Chris and Buddha provided an amazing manta ray snorkeling experience for our family of 5 with teenage boys ages 19, 17, and 15! They are both very knowledgeable and fun! We had a small group of about 15 and went out on a smaller SCUBA type boat which I was a bit surprised at to be honest, but I think it gave Chris more flexibility and ease of maneuvering to drop us right into the current where the manta rays were plentiful. We had a school of 12+ rays that swam so close to us that their fins grazed our legs and stomaches at times. Would highly recommend this fun trip! We also enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the way out!

Aloha! Yes you are correct about the boat style. It is a Zodiac and it also has the power to get to places quickly. Thank you for the wonderful review!

We had an amazing time. Our guides, Charlie and Buda, worked so hard so that we would have a great tour and see many mantas. I highly recommend this tour.

Outstanding experience! Buddha absolutely knows what he's doing, and we had mantas gracefully gliding all around us! Other tours were kinda set adrift and left out there, while Buddha towed us all around the bay to get the perfect spot! Completely surreal. You should do it. Wear a wetsuit though, cause being in water without swimming gets cold quick.

Wow thank you for the compliments. Yes we dont leave our customers out there to drift around in the night.
