What an idea.. to use a floating board to hang onto while you enjoy the ocean floor activity. Manta rays plenty, other different types of fish too. The crew was very helpful and took good care while we enjoyed the aquatic show!

Thank you! We try and make it easy for guest's. Put on a mask and snorkel. Wiggle into your wet suit. Hop into the ocean, kickback, relax and watch the incredible underwater show beneath you. So glad you could join us and hope to have you back out again soon.

Experience of a lifetime!! to be able to just lay afloat and watch the ocean floor with mantas coming close enough to touch you!! The hlaf hour went by quickly as we watched plenty of manta rays swim past us , coming really close to be able to whip us with their tails and even graze us with their fins, see through their mouth and gills. Plenty of other fish to see as well!

Well organized and affordable tour for snorkelers only, with only 6 members on the boat. Mantas came in so close!ā€” but donā€™t touch! Likeable and helpful staff worked to help get a good fit on the wet suits and when in the water helped move the light board and 6 people to best viewing possible. Captain concerned that we see plenty of mantas and I felt we did. Wave surge was really challenging for my husband who is sensitive to motion. He really appreciated the ginger candies before and the ginger tea afterward! It was chilly on the ride back but the ride is only 5 minutes to the dock so not bad at all. They did let us bring a towel to share which helped. Tried to give us some info about the mantas but I didnā€™t catch much as we were looking in the water with water splashing about our ears and on the boat the sound of the engine made it hard to carry on much of a conversation. The mantas were lovely! So glad we did it!

Thank you for braving the ocean conditions and coming out with us. I know mother nature doesn't always make it smooth and easy but sounds like the mantas helped make up for it. Also glad to hear that your husband found the ginger candy and tea settling for his sensitivity. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again.
