From the very beginning of the experience the operators made sure the trip would be flawless, and it was! After an optional wetsuit was put on (recommend 100%) and snorkel was prepped, a 30 second boat ride gets you to where the biggest Manta rays we have ever seen are waiting to entertain you! Keep those arms slightly bent, your pool noodle low on the hips, legs straight and let the fun begin!! Huge mantas swam around us, belly to belly with some of us, while we 'oooh'd and ahhhh'd' at their antics. At first we were all a bit nervous until we were made aware that their tail is NOT a stinger (those are sting rays) and they have no teeth. That eased alot of the nervousness for us. We spent 30 minutes in the water which is actually the perfect amount of time because we started to get a bit cold around the 20 minute mark. Bring your towel, water proof phone case, and willingness to follow the rules and you will have a truly magical experience. We will definitely do this again!!!
