Amazing! We were provided wet suits and snorkeling masks. We had an amazing experience- we went on the 9:40 tour. We had 4 rays feeding at our surf board. One would feed so so close to us! Beautiful animals!! My 7 and 10 year old got a little too cold about 20 minutes into it, but that wasnā€™t a problem because Captain Manu brought the boat closer to us so the kids could swim to the boat without having to swim in the dark water which would have been scary for them. Once we got them on the boat we were able to go back to look at the rays and the Captain was very kind to them and made them feel at ease. This experience could have easily been one of the coolest experience I have had. Our tour guy Dillon was kind and very knowledgeable about Rays and provided good information when asked. He didnā€™t dominate the experience, he was there to answer questions. It was a good balance of experience and education.

Thank you. I'm pleased to hear that you had a great experience and were able to share this time out with your kids. Doing the manta ray night snorkel is great for families and leaves our guest's with smiles and memories to reflect back on. Mahalo for the kind words towards Captain Manu and our guide Dillon. They are wonderful humans and we are very lucky to have them as part of our crew. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again. Aloha.

They did a great job preparing ahead for guests by having lights already out to attract the mantas. There were too many to count. Great experience. Only 6 people so it was more personalized as well.

Seeing the manta rays was incredible. I enjoyed how relaxed and straight forward this tour was. There wasn't an unnecessary cruise or tour, you ride 5 minutes then spend 30 with the mantas and don't waste the rest of your evening.
