It was so beautiful! Best experience ever. But I recommend getting there super early because we had to drive around the different lots looking for the group... there’s approximately 12 boats that do the manta ray snorkeling

Thanks Madeline for the review. Yes that's why we direct customers to the pavilion where the guide meets them. Because the boat is trailered down every night just like many other companies so that could get confusing if your looking for the boat.

Buddha and Chris were fantastic hosts and sea guides, very warm and inviting. We took a lovey sunset cruise out to the bay in front of the airport, and stopped to watch the sun fall along the way. Once we arrived, Chris briefed us on the rules while Buddha scoped the waters. Once we found our magic spot, we were given snorkels and defog. Sure enough, three mantas came our way, doing a majestic dance right in front of our eyes. Watching them was absolutely beautiful. This is an experience of a lifetime, one in which you leave in awe of nature and all it’s gifts. 10/10 recommend this outting and while many places offer a similar experience, Chris and Buddha differentiate the trek.

The "Budda" ..our guide for the evening, performed his magic and produced Manta within minutes of us hitting the water. No negatives to this adventure! Fun and amazing..this is our second time...still very cool.
