What a great excursion! Our captain and our two guides made us so comfortable going into water (filled with giant manta rays) at night. Eli, who was in the water with us, made sure that the person in our party who wasnā€™t a strong swimmer was extremely comfortable and safe. One of the best experiences ever, it really felt like a dream. Mahalo!

I was nervous when I booked it. I was nervous driving to the meeting point. I was nervous waiting for the pickup. I was even nervous getting into the water. All of those nerves were worth it for such an amazing, calm, surreal, unforgettable experience. All of those nerves I felt were unnecessary. Being at night and with such large, majestic creatures was totally safe and worth every moment. Every member of the HI&OT team were informative and helpful. Eli, the guide in the water with us, was extremely knowledgeable and could not only tell us facts about manta rays, but also details about every individual manta ray. We were so lucky to have about 12 manta rays with us - the most Eli had said he'd ever seen at one time! Would do it again. If you don't bring a Go Pro - definitely rent one. You'll regret it later.
