Aloha Michelle, Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry this was not a positive experience for you. I will be reviewing your comments with our owners to try and better improve our services for future guests. This time of year parking can be tough to find due to the high volume of visitors that we see. Parking is free but most guest's usually have to park along the side of the road and then walk down to the boat launches. This is the norm for most companies departing out of Keauhou. The other option is to use a company that departs from Honokohau Harbor. However, departing out of Honokohau harbor usualy comes with a higher booking cost due to the longer boat ride and increased fuel needs. Because Keauhou is primarily a boat launch space for seating is limited. As a company we can look into purchasing some folding chairs to improve upon this for our guests. My apologies if our captian was short with you and eager to get you to the manta viewing sight. I will be sure to bring this to his attention. We do provide complimentary hot drinks and snacks for our guests. If you are referring to cold water I am sorry we did not have that availble for you. I'm happy to hear that you did enjoyed the mantas and hope that you were able to enjoy the rest of your stay on the Big Island. Sincerely, Ashlie

The manta rays were breathtaking. The boat ride to the snorkeling spot was quick, the guide efficient in getting us into the water and comfortable and the mantas just kept coming. So cool
