Donā€™t always judge a book by its cover. This may not be the largest company and though they work out of a mobile site, ( a van), they really provide a quality service. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly young man, who was helpful and informative. Before we even touched the boat, we knew exactly what to do, and what to expect. We were provided a quality wet suit and snorkeling gear, and just had to wait for the boat. The trip was running a bit late, as were some other guests, but it was not an inconvenience. Eli was great in the water, making sure that each guest was comfortable and safe. We did not have many Manta Ray, approximately 3 or 4, but they were fantastic to view and the tour time was just right. We would recommend taking anti-nausea medication, as the rolling motion of the waves and static viewing can cause some to feel queasy. My wife and I took meds and we were fine. My son did not and he felt nauseous. Overall, a great trip and highly recommended

Thanks for sharing Dcpodan. I'm pleased to hear that you found the quality and services of our small locally-run family business up to par. We have a great team of dedicated staff who love and are passionate about what they do. (I'll be sure to pass the kind words along to Eli.) Mahalo for the review and for the seasickness tip for other readers. We hope you enjoy your time on the Big Island and that we are able to see you again. Aloha.

We were a group of 3 friends. 1 in our party was inexperienced and had a lot of anxiety about snorkeling, snorkeling @ night, etc. Eli, our guide in the water, was about to get her calm and floating and able to enjoy the mantas. The mantas are spectacular and angelic swimming through the ocean. It is an amazing adventure and the outfitters were so nice and efficient. Eli was very knowledgeable and was a great guide. This is a great outfitter to go out with.

Thank you Beth. It's great to read that you were able to experience this fun adventure out with your friends. Getting into the ocean at night can be a little intimidating at first but I'm happy to hear that Eli was there to ease and help calm any nerves. Mahalo for sharing and we hope to see you again. Aloha.
