I could enjoy seeing Manta Ray!! It was so amazing! They came to us very closely many times. The things that I liked was they weren’t fed by human. They had eaten prank tons.

Thank you. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed witnessing the nightly feast of mantas gobbling up tons of plankton. It's definitely a sight to experience first hand. Mahalo for the review and we hope to see you again. Aloha.

This tour delivered. Saw at least 4 different Mantas, hard to tell how many because they kept circling up by us to feed. Spectacular sight. We’ll run would highly recommend.

Thank you. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It's hard to keep track of mantas in general but when it's a feeding frenzy good luck remembering who is who. Mahalo for joining us and we hope to see you again. Aloha.

Being up close to the huge Mantas is awesome. Beautiful and graceful creatures. A couple things to note when you meet with your tour group: there's no designated parking in the area. Just find your own on the side of the road. You may have to park a little ways off (few mins walk) if it's busy that night. Several tour groups meet in the same area so you may have to hunt around a little to find your specific group. Once you meet, they give you snorkel gear and wet suits if you don't have your own. Wet suit is optional, but I recommend it if you're prone to getting cold at all in the water. Bring your own towel. After check-in, it's a quick 5 min ride to Manta area and then you get in and hold onto a surfboard with handles attached. They light up there area under the board to attract the Manta's food which brings in the Mantas. There were 4 - 5 that stayed around our board feeding most of the time. After about 30 mins, you head back and the next group goes out. It's kind of like an assembly line of people coming in and going out. Trip time for us from check in to back on land was 1 hr 20 mins. It's worth it!
