We had the experience of a lifetime doing the Manta Ray night snorkel tour with Hawaii Island & Ocean Tours!!! Everything was super smooth and the crew were all super nice, professional, and helpful through all of it! There is a Groupon available but if you reach out to them directly, they'll honor that price. Ashlie was super responsive when we reached out via the website, from booking to inquiries about renting go-pro! Well fitted wet suits were provided, the boat ride was super quick (thank you Captain Sam!), and we were shown the ropes and introduced to all the manta rays of the evening by Eli who stayed with us in the water the whole time. When I had issues with my snorkel, he was quick to help me and got me a new one. The experience was UNREAL! With this tour, there were only 6 total snorkelers, which was perfect. Much better than the tours with way too many people, IMO. We were seeing manta rays literally the entire time and they are not shy at all. 30 min in the water was just the right amount of time. We were able to rent a go pro hero 9 with them as well for $25 and got some amazing video on a micro SD card of the whole experience! Cannot recommend this enough!!

This is a small group tour that offers close encounter with the gentle giants. The crew is friendly and the boat ride was super smooth.
