Awesome trip, Leann, Diego and Danny were great, they were fun and knowledgeable and made you feel taken care of. The Mantas were one of the coolest things we have seen

We saw no rays. Many people were getting seasick, and the water was cold. We held onto a bobbing platform for two hours, which really kills on the arm muscles. Then, we were told we would get our money back because we saw no rays, but when I contacted the company about that, they told me they don't refund the money. That was a waste of $300 and a rip off.

Aloha, sorry to hear you got sea sick. There is no company that refunds for not seeing manta rays and although it’s very rare that the manta rays are not around we do offer a free trip with us. All guides and captains know this and would not offer a refund. The whole trip is about 2 hrs and we are actually in the water about 45 min.

AN Amazing must-do experience if your in this island. They are amazing creatures that swim extremely close to you. And all you have to do is lay on the water and hold the board (and your go pro) they even provide wetsuits and noodles for those who request it. There were a lot of other boats out there. But this crew got there at specific time when the other boats had left so that we wouldn't have to share the mantas with other boards. For that reason we had a constant show. There was always 1 manta under our board and even 2 at same time. Buddha and Chris were super nice and accommodating. The boat ride there was also it's own great experience. DO IT!
