The trip was wonderful. We had heard about the rays swooping right up to us, but to experience them just inches away was exhilarating. The staff was great. Alisha, welcomed us to their truck-side home base. Sam, the boat driver, was friendly and very capable behind the wheel and Elijah, our guide in the water, was great with us visitors, had a deep doubt if knowledge about the rays which he easily shared and took good care of us as we watched in wonder Unfortunately, I got a bit seasick. Again, I received great care from the team in helping reduce my discomfort. This was a memorable and wonderful experience. We appreciated the small group size, the short boat ride (2-3 min max) and the excellent attention we received. We would enthusiastically recommend these folks to anyone looking to snorkel with the rays

We had a wonderful time! We had a quick 1-min ride from the shore, a short explanation from our captain, and about 30 minutes in the water. So many mantas showed up (about 12 by our count), and our guide was excellent and informative! Nice cookies at the dock waiting for us. Everything is outdoors all throughout, so we felt covid safe.

This was an amazing experience, very memorable, we had a great time! It was confusing once we got there where to go and not a very good reception from the person working there but overall we would go back and everything was really awesome!
