What a great experience! Manta Rays were swimming so close, that they were touching us! We had 2 huge mantas, which were with us all the time, plus few others. The group was very small, normally up to 6 people, but it was only 4 of us, which was totally great. Other companies around had up to 16 ppl! The team was amazing, very informative and supportive. I am extremely scared of deep water, but I felt very safe and did not have any opportunity to panic :) We really enjoyed our manta ray snorkel.

Dylan and Kelly were welcoming and warm, making for a great excursion. They were both really clear with instructions, and it made the whole experience enjoyable. Kelly was knowledgeable about the manta rays when we were in the water and definitely seemed to know more than some of the other guides out there. We mainly saw one manta ray, and even got a bonus one as we were going back onto the boat. It was a really cool experience to see them feeding on the plankton so close to us. I had looked at a handful of other tours before booking this one, and am glad that I did. The hot chocolate and cookies afterward were a great touch. I had a couple questions about other touristy stuff, and they were kind enough to give me their thoughts and advice. Thanks, Dylan and Kelly!

This company and their employees are top notch. Enjoyed the experience so much that I went again the next day. The check in was easy, just look for the white van by the pier. Short boat ride to the spot. Saw at least 8 different rays with up to four feeding at one time. Been on multiple snorkeling excursion in many countries and this may be my favorite. Getting in and out of the boat was very controlled. Don't miss this opportunity to take this excursion with this great company.
