By far one of the very best excursions my family has done. From the reminders all the way through to the return to shore was great! I highly suggest this activity. It was great to check off our bucket lists!

The manta rays of course but, watching the sunset from the water right before the swim was also amazing!(I took the 7:00pm tour)

We canā€™t recommend this company enough. From the moment we checked in the employees were SO friendly and made us feel at home. Swimming with the mantas was something we will always remember. When we first got in the water we couldnā€™t see any and our captain let us know that another boat had 4 near us. Our water guide quickly adjusted our spot and before we knew it they were coming from everywhere. We met 8 manta rays who did flips for us the whole rest of the swim. Some were 14 feet wide! Our guide taught us all about their behaviors and how to tell them apart. We even saw a male trying to court one of the females. We loved that our group was small (only my family of 5 on the boat) and the team made us feel like we were family. Other companies had close to 20 people per boat and I canā€™t imagine the experience would be the same. I will be recommending Hawaii Island & Ocean Tours to everyone and canā€™t wait to come back!
