I loved that they only allow 6 people on their tour. It was very personal and did not feel crowded. The greeter, captain and guode were all very knowledgeable.

We had a great experience with our night snorkel and our guide Eli was very knowledgeable about the rays. He seemed very passionate and happy during our tour but it was apparent he was having some discomfort and the company had to cancel all the tours after ours due to his physical issues. He did say that he normally stays out there for 4 or 5 hours to do all the tours, which was impressive to me because after an hour, in a short wetsuit, me and my 3 kids were all shivering cold and tired from hanging on to the paddleboard but my husband said he was very comfortable! We saw 4 different manta rays and learned quite a bit. It was a thrilling experience to have the rays swim right up at you, pratically touching you but staying just far away that they never did actually touch me. The boat was small and doesn't have actual seats, you just sit on the cover, which was ok for us but made me a little uncomfortable with my littles on the side. They provided life jackets on request. I just feel lucky that we got to so our tour, knowing they cancelled on some that weren't going to be able to reschedule.

Thanks for sharing Jeneric. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the tour and manta guide Eli. I can report that he is doing better and want to commend him for his efforts. It is not an easy position doing what he does and good reliable help is hard to find on the island. Our guest's safety as well as our crew's is important to us and sometimes difficult decisions are made for the well being of everyone involved. Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review and we hope to see you again. Aloha.
