Possibly the coolest thing I’ve experienced in my life! We only had 10 people on our boat so it was very personal. We saw so many mantas and even got brushed by several of them (didn’t hurt and we felt safe the entire time). Our guide and captain were amazing and very knowledgeable. Absolutely loved it!

This trip greatly exceeded our expectations. We expected to see manta rays swimming around but what we did not expect is having the rays come to the surface, barrel roll onto their backs, and pass beneath us often so close that they brushed our bodies as they passed beneath us. Truly a unique marine experience. Forget the touch pools with captive dolphins and join Captain Kris and First Mate Budda on this memorable up close and personal manta ray "encounter."

Trevor and Diego were the skipper and crew on our trip. they got us out there and set up quickly to be able to see the Rays. we saw at least 5 Rays, lots of other fish and could observe the scuba group on the ocean floor. Diego offered help and answered questions throughout the trip. It was amazing, bring a gopro type camera if you can. memorable trip for sure
