This was a terrific adventure. Buda found the manta rays quickly. We were in the water as soon as he found them. The mantas swam right up to us. What an experience!

The manta rays really are special. And of coarse Buda our manta whisperer LOL I think he has a secret calling for the mantas our something. Thank you for sharing your manta experience.

This is absolutely a “Must-Do” when going to the Big Island. There were 8 people and 2 guides for our trip. When we arrived at the snorkel site, there were several other boats there and we stayed a little away from them. What a GREAT decision because there were regularly 3 Manta Rays with us. They are majestic and gigantic creatures that barrel roll over and over and over. The guides provided education about rays and what we were to do and what not to do for the protection of the wildlife. If you are unsure about this tour, don’t hesitate. This was the best of the best for us. There was one child who was around 10, his dad, a young couple, my 26 yr. old daughter, two 40-ish men and me, a 55 yr. old female. Everyone participated - the most strenuous part was getting back in the boat at the end and that was easy. You need to be able to keep your face down in the water so your legs stay on the surface. But they give you pool noodles to help with that. Thanks for a spectacular adventure!!!!

They did not show up because they did not have enough numbers. Try other tour group. they told us that they contacted me but I did not get any email text or call.

Aloha Jin Kim, you booked through an agency. When your info is sent to us your email is hidden and I must message you through the agency. I sent 4 messages with in a week time period stating that you were the only single passenger on the boat last night. I would be happy to forward those to you. Again the phone number goes to an agency unless they put in the customers phone number which they should. So you can imagine the frustration on our part as well. Deeply sorry for the inconvenience, but we did do everything we could plus when you called the office I offered to even help you get on with another company.
