The actual activity was a terrific experience, seeing the manta rays so close. The looping feeding maneuver allowed you to see several feet inside their bodies! The small 6-person size was a bonus. The mask and wet suits were top notch, and the guides were informative. One only complaint, hence the 4 stars, was that this boat launch area is very crowded and poorly lit. Our event was at 9 pm, so it was completely dark. Better instructions on parking would be a plus, as I received a parking ticket at 10pm for parking in a boat/trailer area, when it is too dark to see the signage. Oddly enough, I was back here at 7:30 the following morning, and in daylight it was quite obvious where prohibited parking area were.

Thank you for sharing. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and that our staff and snorkel equipment met your expectations. I'm not sure a whole lot can be done to improve the lighting in the area when it comes to parking but we are in discussion with how to better direct guest's so a parking ticket can be avoided. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again. Aloha.

This was a once in a lifetime experience! It was so cool! They came within inches of us, and did flips and dives the whole time. Theyā€™re so graceful, like giant butterflies.

Thank you for joining us. We're happy we could help make this a wonderful experience for you. Most guest's don't realize how close these gentle giants will come until they are actually in the water with them...and then you gain a new perspective. Mahalo for the review and hope to see you again. Aloha.

Amazing! We felt we were in the best hands with this operator - small boat out to site (6 people), wetsuits (which we were glad to have), lots of expertise. An incredible experience. 110% satisfied.
