Magical experience! Well worth it and feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity. Parking was easy but we were the first trip of the day. The wet suit kept you plenty warm!

It was awesome to have a very short ride to the site to view the Manta Rays. Was given wet suits and spent at least 30 minutes watch these gentle giants do what looked like a ballet! There were so many and they were soooo close! We were not to touch them, but they swam and bumped and rubbed against us!

Thank you for joining us. It's great to hear that you enjoyed our short boat ride to experience Kona's finest underwater ballet show.šŸ˜Š These mantas really know how to swoop around snorkelers and bring smiles to those that watch. Mahalo for the review and we hope to see you again. Aloha.

My husband & I were lucky. I was concerned we may not see any Manta Rays at all or that they would be very far away. Instead, we saw a dozen rays, some who swam within inches of our snorkel mask. We were not allowed to touch them but they gently touched us as they gracefully swam by searching for plankton, illuminated by lights in the clear ocean. We were glad we went out late (10:20) as when we arrived we were the only boat at Manta Village. Earlier in the evening we noticed about eight boats. The staff of three was great-a congenial guy to prepare us with snorkels, masks & wet suits for the adventure, another to pilot us in a motorized raft a few minutes away & an informative guide at the location. Bring cash for tips!

Thank you for tha kind words. I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour and were able to experience so many manta rays... WhooHoo! It's not always the case since every night is so different, but sometimes the later tours can have really great sightings especially when your the last tour out. Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review and recognizing our staff memebers. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again. Aloha.
