Myself and two friends took the Manta Ray night tour on our first evening on the Big Island. Zach & John were incredibly friendly and accommodating guides. We had a lovely 20 minute ride out, not too choppy, and John did a great job of warning folks of big dips and swells which is super helpful for those w a tendency towards sea sickness. I was a little nervous to get in the deep ocean with huge Manta Rays (logic be damned!) and what helped was how clear and concise they both kept all their instructions. Manta Rays can’t hurt you, but I still appreciated all the info ahead of time so I could prepare myself. It was absolutely one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Highly recommend these two gentlemen.

What a great adventure with my family! Captain John and Zach were friendly, professional and made sure we were all safe and comfortable at all times. The mantas were amazing. We got lucky and saw about 10-15 mantas rays which I know is not common. So glad we did not pass this up.
