My wife and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary on the Big Island and we were looking for adventures on the island that we would cherish and remember for many years to come. Without knowing anything about or having any prior experience with Hawaii Island & Ocean Tours, we took a chance and booked a spot with them on their Keauhou Manta Ray Night Snorkel adventure. And what a great decision this was!! Sam, Justin, Alisha, and Eli all hit the ball out of the park in delivering a first (and probably once) in a lifetime experience for us. Not only was the experience in swimming with the manta rays unbelievable but the sincerity and care Sam and her team showed us was beyond expectations. They truly know the importance of delighting the customer. I would highly recommend Hawaii Island & Ocean Tours to anyone looking for the same experience and adventure we had. Selecting and joining them for a swim with the manta rays is a must for anyone visiting the Big Island!! Dave/Kelly

Wow...Congratulations on your anniversary and 30 years...that's incredible. We are delighted that we got to spend this time out with you and share an evening with Kona's majestic manta rays. I will be sure to pass the high praise back to our crew. We are a small family run business and lucky to have such outstanding individuals as part of our passionate and dedicated team. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your anniversary on the Big Island and would love to see you both back out again. Best Wishes and Warmest Aloha.

This was a great experience and worth the $. Itā€™s a 3 minute boat šŸš¤ ride out, then you spend 30 minutes in the water with the mantas. You simply hang onto a surfboard šŸ„ with handles and look down- the mantas are drawn by the krill who flock to the blue light. The mantas will swim RIGHT UP TO YOU to eat the krill- they skim the surface upside down. So cool! The guides were super nice and knowledgeable. Would recommend for all ages if kids are up to it.

Thank you for the review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time out with us and got some up close and personal encounters with Kona's amazing mantas! Most people don't realize how big and close they actually will come until they get to experience this. Mahalo for the recommendation and we hope to see you again. Aloha.

Unbelievable interaction with a beautiful, gentle, 8-foot manta. Right up to my mask. Good, efficient crew sharing knowledge. I'm 75 and I felt very safe in every way.
