This was an amazing experience! The crew made sure we were educated and comfortable with the experience. My 10 y/o son had the time of his life, as did I! I know for sure that the support and kindness of the crew eased his mind as he got into the water! I highly recommend going with this company! They are amazing! This is a memory that will never be forgotten! Thank You!

Aloha. So glad to hear that you and your son were able to join us for an adventure with Kona's gentle manta rays. This experience is great for families and I am pleased to hear that our crew was able to help calm any nerves that one may have had. We thank you for choosing us and hope to see everyone back out again. Mahalo.

This was one of the coolest things weā€™ve ever done! The hardest thing about the entire experience was finding a place to park. They explained everything, the boat ride was only a couple of minutes, and itā€™s nice that they only have a maximum of 6 passengers (we saw other boats with 20+ people). They had a guide tow us around while we all hung onto a surfboard and floated with our faces looking down thru our masks. We went on the water at 7pm and initially I was worried that we wouldnā€™t see many rays that early but that wasnā€™t an issue. We spent at least half an hour in the water and saw a bunch of rays (often 2 or 3 together) swimming below us and doing loop de loops, often they came within only a couple of inches. They provide wet suits and snorkel gear.

Thank you for joining us. Small groups and our blue light snorkel board are some of the little things that set us apart from other operators. We try to make it fun and easy for guests who have never experienced Kona's mantas. Mahalo for your support and hope to see you again. Aloha.
