Amazing experience!!! The crew was awesome!! They provided wetsuits with sizes for my 4 year old up to size 3X, snorkels and masks (but they let you use our own gear), and snacks at the end. The swimmer in the water, Mike, was extremely helpful with my four year old who was super excited but not great at snorkeling. He opted to take his snorkel out of his mouth and just put his face in the water to see for a few seconds and then lift his head up to breathe. Mike told him the names of the Manta Rays and what they are and how big their throats were and honestly kept him entertained throughout the whole experience without annoying the other couple!!! He was amazing!! The boat was a RHIB which was awesome, the group is only 6 max so all the reviews saying other people scare the rays are irrelevant with this group because the diver will make them stop, you hold onto a surfboard the whole time so their isnā€™t much swimming involved, and the boat stays close. I READ THE REVIEWS AND WEBSITES OF EVERY MANTA RAY TOUR ON THE ISLAND AND THIS TOUR WAS THE BEST!!!

Wow...Thanks for the fantastic review Rebeka. There are several very good manta tours on the Big Island and it is humbling to read that you think so highly of our operation. I'm pleased to hear that you were able to experience this one of kind adventure with your family and that Mike was informative and entertaining even for your 4-year old. He is a great human and I will be sure to pass the kind words and kudos back to him. Mahalo for joining us and for taking the time to leave us a review. We hope the rest of your trip was just as memorable and that we will get to see you and your family back out again in the future. Aloha.

SO AWESOME. We were worried about a southern swell and that the weather hadn't been the best during the day, but it still ended up being an incredible experience. We did the 8:20PM time slot. Saw about 5-6 manta rays - they come right up to you!! I also liked that this tour company does a 6 person boat - where as the other companies pack you in like cattle! Also, shout out to Ashlie with the front office, she was a great help/super friendly!

Thanks for the wonderful review Aspen. It was a pleasure having you out with us. We're glad the weather and ocean conditions were decent enough to go out in and that we were able to share this fun adventure with both you. I'll be sure to pass on the kind words to Ashlie. She is a very genuine individual who loves mantas and assisting our guests. Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience and we hope to see you again. Aloha.
