These gentle giants were amazing to see up close. We left right after sunset. They had wet suits and snorkels for us to use. The boat ride was very short and close to the pier where we left from. They had hot tea, cocoa, and snacks just in case we were hungry or cold. I loved the ginger tea as I was a little concerned about getting motion sickness. I will do this everytime I come to Hawaii. Just beautiful creatures.

YAY! It is always so encouraging to hear feedback such as this from guests who want to return and do the manta ray night snorkel again. One of the nice things about our tours is the ability to get guests out quickly to the manta site in less than 5 minutes versus a 30 minute boat ride where individuals are more likely to get seasick. I'm glad the ginger tea worked for you and look forward to having you back out with us again. Mahalo.

They were very good. The staff were very knowledgeable and informative of the rays. They told us the names, weight and ages of the rays that came to feed off of our lights and kept moving us to maximize our experience with the rays and they all came around repeatedly to feed. I liked that it was a small group of 5 and the boat ride was about 5 minutes from where the mantas were feeding. I would highly recommend them!

Aloha! Thank you for joining us and for the high recommendation. We are glad to hear that you had such an awesome night out with us. Our guides are super and really try to enhance your experience with fun facts and manta tid bits. They have been doing for it for years and really know how to connect with guests. The quick boat ride out and small group sizes are one of the unique perks our company offers. Hopefully we will get the chance to see you again. A Hui Ho.

Very impressed with the work they do to make this experience happen. The previous group had floated out a ways and they wanted to bring our group closer in to shore. There was a lot of work to lure the mantas back in to our area so we could be close to shore. It took a while, but they made it happen, and we had an awesome experience for our family with a 9 and 14-year-old.

Thank you. We work hard to try and make your time out with us memorable and dedicate an in-water guide to help follow and stay on top of where all the manta action is happening. Sounds like the hard work paid off and you were able to have a good show. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again.
