Was a fast ride out, in the boat. The water was really warm. As soon as we got in the water and got to the boards the Mantas was already coming up close to us. We seen at least 7 to 10 different ones. Also it was a small group of 5 people. Usually they take out a 6 person group. Zack was awesome in the water and knew his stuff.

Absolutely spectacular! The rays swam right below us and came up to us the entire time. We were told how to keep the rays safe (don't touch them, but they may touch you). The rays chose to come because the surf board everyone holds on to has a light. It seemed like a very ethical way to interact with them. I loved it.

Awesome! We wanted to do the night Manta Ray snorkeling tour I had analysis paralysis trying to figure out which company would be best for my family. Ultimately, I really liked the smaller group option with Hawaii Island Island & Ocean Tours so I decided to give them a try. Our experience was just awesome. smaller group (max of 6) was perfect and so much more personal. Some of the other companies had so many people crammed on one boat that it looked uncomfortable to me. I was really happy we weren't on those boats! The wetsuits were great, all the guides were friendly and really knowledgeable and the Rays were stunning. I have no idea how many different Rays we saw but they just kept coming and coming. Overall my whole family was absolutely thrilled with our experience. The time in the water was perfect and the Rays are phenomenal. I would happily recommend Hawaii Island & Ocean Tours and when we go back to the Big Island I will call them again.
