We had a great time! The manta rays were just inches from us. A great adventure!! The crew brought the rays, we had 8 under our board at one time!

Such an amazing excursion. The place was easy to find with the directions given and check in was a breeze. They offered wet suits free of charge (we abstained and we were just fine) Kris and Buddha were able to teach us a lot about these amazing sea creatures. Buddha made our board that we all held onto and it was made in a way that wouldn’t harm the manta rays (where it sounded like other boats materials could cause rashes from rubbing on it) Buddha is definitely the manta ray whisperer, we had 6 that we’re swimming with us. They got so close that even laying flat as a board on the surface of the water i was BARELY able to avoid having it touch me (although they wouldn’t have hurt me if they had, more for their protection that they didn’t touch me) Highly recommend this trip with these two guys! Aloha ocean excursions gets 👍👍

With so many options of tour companies offering the night manta ray snorkel I was overwhelmed with which one to book but SO glad I booked this one !! Buddhas knowledge and relationship with the mantas gave us the best experience of all the boats out there. We had as many as 5-8 swimming beneath us at one time basically swimming belly to belly with them they got so close you could see every little details it was just incredible
