My gosh... everything we hoped it would be. 3-6 rays around us the entire time. It was unnerving at first seeing these big animals gliding up to you with their mouths wide open, but our guides had prepped us. The rays are gentle and graceful in the water, controlling their every movement. They will swim unbelievably close to you, giving you a ā€œlove tapā€ or two. Really incredible. I went with my 13 and 15 year old boys and we felt safe the entire time. The lights set up by the surf board we held onto gave the rays a sort of black-light glow. Then a couple other lamps were set up on the ocean floor for even better viewing. Way cool. This tour was about half the cost of others. The only thing I can think of the other tours had was a bathroom on their boat. The gear was great and the wetsuits kept us warm. Heavily recommend this tour!!

Thank you for the awesome recommendation! We are so stoked to hear that you had an incredible night out with us. I always tell guest's that the manta ray night snorkel is more magical than it is terrifying and sounds like this proved to be true in your case. Our small family run business works hard to try and give guest's an experience they won't forget. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again.

Thank you! Glad you were able to make it over and come out with us. Long flights and time changes are never easy but getting to snorkel with giant manta rays can make up for it. We hope to see you again.

I wish I would relive that first moment when a Manta swooped up and almost brushed my face!!! Absolutely amazing - would recommend to anyone who visits the big island! The crew was very kind and knowledgeable and helped us have the best experience possible while making sure the Mantas were safe. My sister said her life is fulfilled now :)
