The tour went well. They were very prompt to contact us and accommodating when we needed to change the tour date/time. We spent 30 min in the water and "met" over 10 mantas!

The rays were already schooling before we got off the boat. The guides had the light board up and attracting the rays. At one point we had a dozen rays in a feeding frenzy inches from our faces. The guides knew the names of each ray from pictures and the markings on their bellys.. nothing more to say but...... AWESOME!!!!!!!

We were lucky enough to have nearly non-stop manta ray dancing! Our guides were able to quickly identify the rays we were seeing and pointed out unique characteristics of them. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, quick to laugh and help us enjoy ourselves. I was so overwhelmed and amazed that I was crying which really messes up your mask and vision, so I don't recommend this if you can help it! :-) It was so awesome to be so close to these giant but gentle creatures and just float, relax and enjoy the show! It was over much too quickly and the guides politely resisted my pleas to just hang out with them the rest of the night! What a wonderful job they have! The only way this could have been better was if we were able to do the scuba dive rather than the snorkel!
