Awesome experience. One of the Manta rays did 3 flips really close to us. The crew was great, and I like that it was only 6 people in the group. Instructions on where to meet were easy. The price was very reasonable for the experience. Would totally do it again.

Thank you for joining us. We are thrilled to hear you had such and awesome experience. Watching a huge manta doing backflips right underneath you is jaw dropping. Mahalo for the review and we hope to see you again. Aloha.

This was definitely one our best experiences on the Big island and the highlight of our trip. Snorkeling with manta ray in the dark is a magical experience. Hawaii Island & Ocean Tours is a small company but they are definitely mighty. They only take you out in a small group of 6 which gives you that personal/private group feeling. They make sure you are comfortable with snorkeling, provide wet suits, snorkeling gear, tea/coffee/snacks before you actually go for snorkeling. The staff is amazing- the person who provides instructions, the captain, dive instructor. They did an incredible job in making sure we are safe and the manta rays are safe too. Highly recommend this!

Thank you. We are pleased to hear that you had a magical time out with us and Kona's World Famous Manta Rays! Your safety is a top priority for us as well as the Mantas. We find that the small group size allows our crew to give each guest the individual attention that they need while providing an experience like no other. Mahalo for the high recommendation and we hope to see you again. Aloha.

Thank you. Kenzie Ray is one of Kona's friendliest (if not thee best) mantas and personally my favorite. She knows how to steal the show and is quite the ham. Mahalo for sharing a night out with us (and Kenzie) and we hope to see you again. Aloha.
