I was told this would be the experience of a lifetime and they were right! Ryan and Buddha took great care to make sure we were safe and comfortable as we boarded the zodiac and made our way north to snorkel with the mantas. Buddha put us in the right spot to get the best views and it was awesome. The mantas showed up immediately and gave us a great show, making sweeping loops as they fed on the plankton, coming within inches of us. What beautiful, graceful creatures! The smaller group size was a definite advantage over the larger groups on the catamarans. It was a beautiful clear night so we got to watch shooting stars on our way back to the harbor. It was a marvelous adventure!

Aloha Jeanie, thank you so much for this excellent review and so glad to hear you enjoyed everything....even shooting stars...wow! what a plus. Swimming with the manta rays is a great experience and I agree when it comes to group size. Small groups have many more advantages.

These guys were so amazing. I really felt that attention was paid to every detail. I had never done anything like this before and it was so well worth it! Being in the manta ray's environment while I got to watch it barrel roll inches from my face was an experience I can barely put words to... If I had to however, I would say... Magical! This is a must do!
