Buddha and Kris were awesome captains! We got to swim with 3 mantas all to ourselves and mantas came super close to us. Buddha also was entertaining with Da jokes. Highly recommended.

The manta rays really are spectacular! So glad you enjoyed the boys. We are so lucky to have them part of our team.

We went north to the Manta Ray location near the Airport ("Manta Heaven"). This location was crowded but we still got a spectacular Manta encounter. There was a "small craft advisory" for the area on that day so the boat bounced around somewhat. None of my photos came out.

Aloha Chris thanks for the excellent review and so glad you enjoyed your self. It wasn't quite a small craft advisory or we wouldn't have gone out. But yes it can get a little bumpy when the winds pick up. Sorry your photos didnt come out. I can send you some if you like.

This was incredible and worth every penny. Our guide “Buddha” was awesome and very knowledgeable. We went to an area where there were a lot of other boats, and we saw a couple of mantas swim by. But Buddha wasn’t satisfied, so he swam us a couple hundred yards away to an area he felt might be more productive, and bam! A huge manta appeared and began do its plankton-eating dance right under our noses, literally inches away from our snorkel masks. It was beautiful and graceful and just a wonderful experience. And to make it better, this is a small group tour, and we only had 7 of us. I would highly recommend this tour above all others listed.
