OMG!!! This experience was magic. Everything about it was 5 star amazing. We did not make reservations far in advance so the only time available for when we were in town was 9:00 Tuesday night. We booked it to make sure we’d get something but I was very nervous. When I called to see if they could change it, the lovely young woman with whom I spoke said unluckily no. She then assured me that not only was it safe but would likely be superior because there would be fewer boats in the water. She was right! We got to the pier, were given wetsuits and after a one minute ride we’re out in the nighttime water holding on to our lit-up board while Dylan (our swim guide) gave running informative and reassuring narration. Before I’d even assumed the position (holding on with a noodle under my hips to keep my body still and flat), GIANT manta rays were swooping and swirling, dancing and diving, directly under my body in an amazing aquatic ballet by undersea aliens ( that’s what they look like- totally otherworldly). We saw at least 15 mantas that evening. It was the most spectacular experience and everything about the way this company handled it was smooth, friendly and easy. They’re communication was frequent and helpful. Also, I booked through TripAdvisor, which I’ve never done before and got a considerable discount and also completely smooth with lots of great information. If you want a truly unforgettable experience- sign up for this tour! Oh, I forgot to mention, one of the things that really added is that they only take 6 people at a time. That also really adds

Wow...Thank you Beth for the wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that this was such a great experience for you. I'm pleased to read that you found our staff both helpful and reassuring while the mantas did what they do best...leave you in awe. Getting the opportunity to watch 15 mantas is totally out of this world and well above the average from what we generally see. Being in a smaller group setting really does make a BIG difference and gives our tours a much more personal and intimate feeling. Mahalo for your support and we hope to see you both back out again soon. Aloha.

So many mantas so close ! An amazing experience. There were 10-15 mantas just waiting to get up close to you. The small group(5 on our tour) was exceptional. The crew great. Brandon , our guide in the water answered all questions and pointed out his favorite mantas.

Thank you for joining us. 10-15 mantas is a phenomenal night and it was a pleasure having the opportunity to share this with you. It's great to read that you enjoyed our small group sizes and snorkel guide Brandon. (I can't help but wonder who was your favorite manta?) Anyways, mahalo for the review and we hope to see you agian. Aloha.
