The small group was super nice. Other trips cost more and had two to three times the people. Cheyenne, Sam, and Dillon were great. We had a amazing time, worth every penny.

Our family of 4 ( two teens) will never forget this awesome tiur. They only take 6 people at a time ( we try to avoid the herded tours where the extra time is spent trying to get everyone in and out of the water and situated) so this was perfect for us. Boat ride out was just 5 minutes - some larger boats had 15-20 minute rides each way, again, the added time is spent in the boat so we really really liked going with this specific tour. At first, the Mantas were nowhere to be found, not by the other nearby tours either. I was really impressed with how the guides between all of the groups and companies worked together to attract the mantas with their lights. They had strategic ways that when boosted with lights from other groups, it really lit the water up and drew in the needed plankton. Everyone seemed to know each other and when our group saw the first two mantas, our guide let the others know and they moved their groups closer which was really neat to see the long chain of observers and the mantas putting on a beautiful display for everyone.

Teamwork makes the dream work and I am pleased to hear that you were able to have a great experience on your night out with us. When you have been doing manta tours as long as we have you know the little tricks of the trade and the best way to help guest's get the tour they are looking for. Small groups are very convenient but when everyone works together that's when the magic happens. Mahalo for the review and we hope to see you again. Aloha.

The whole staff, from receiving wet suits, to the boat captain, to the water guide, were exceptional and so nice. We had 3 children, ages 4-8, that we brought and they were all so patient and kind to them. Easy instructions to follow and a wonderful experience. 100% worth the money! We will recommend to friends who visit!
