The absolute best snorkeling experience we’ve had on any island! Just six people per trip, and it lasts about 45 minutes total. But we saw so many giant manta rays we could barely keep track. They are huge and swim right up to the board, inches away. Some had to have ten foot wing spans. But they’re not at all aggressive or threatening. You may get freaked out initially but relax and enjoy and this will be one of the best experiences of your life!

Thanks for sharing James. It's great to read that this was such a wonderful experience for you. We agree that these gentle giants may seem intimidating at first but quickly become captivating and mesmerizing to watch. Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review and we hope to see you again. Aloha.
