We didnā€™t see a single manta ray. Just a few small fish from a distance. I understand that the guides cannot control nature, but we paid $170 for the tour. I think a partial refund or opportunity to come back another night should be offered.

Aloha Fearless748323, I am very sorry that you did not see any Mantas on your tour out with us. Generally, manta sightings are very good, but they are wild animals and come and go as they please. Our crew works incredibly hard to try and give guests the experience they paid for, but sometimes things don't always go the way we want them too. The good news is that we do have a manta guarantee depending on how you book. For those who purchase tickets through a 3rd party such as TripAdvisor/Viator or at a discounted rate (in your case 2 seats at $85 a piece) and you don't see a manta, you may come back out again for an additional $30 a seat. For those who book directly with us or purchase tickets at our full online rate ($111) you may come back out again for free. It's no secret, Hawaii is expensive and most manta ray tours cost well over $100 a seat, but out of over 30 different operators our discounted is the 4th least expensive tour one can find on the island. We are happy to be able to offer such budget friendly rates to our guests. If you would like to use our manta guarantee in the future please call our reservation line at 808-313-1116 and one of our staff would be happy to assist you. We hope that you enjoyed the rest of your time on the Big Island and hope that perhaps we might be able to have you back out again at a later date. If you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance feel free to let us know. Warmest Mahalo Ashlie For those reading our Manta Policy is as follows and is provided to all guests in the confirmation email: "Manta Rays are wild animals and Hawaii Island and Ocean Tours cannot guarantee their presence. If a manta ray is not seen on your night out with us you may try again on a different night, or on your next visit.

This trip was amazing and SO worth it! We went at 10:20. They put you in wet suites and give you snorkel gear, which some other trips donā€™t. You get cold even with the wet suites so be prepared! The last 15 minutes we saw two rays and it was something I will NEVER forget! I wish I wouldā€™ve rented a go proā€¦

Thanks for joining us Mccall. We're glad that we were able to share an evening out snorkeling with both of you. The saying goes that you only need one manta to be amazed and I'm happy to hear that you were able to experience two of these gentle giants on your tour out with us. We would love to have you join us again and do keep GoPro's available to rent out. Mahalo for the review we hope to see you in the future. Aloha.
