By far one of the best values you will find on the island. We did the night manta snorkeling on Wed night, and Cooke am snorkeling trip on Friday. We had taken both tours with other companies, on previous visits...this is by far the most personal and best value. We saw two Mantas, doing an incredible feeding ballet, zooming by inches from us, on the night portion. Jon gave what felt like a personal friend tour of coastline and Cooke Monument harbor on the am trip. We were first to the area, before the big touristy boats arrived, and had area almost to ourselves. Then shifted in harbor to get to swim with dolphins. On way back, Jon shows sea caves, and explains both geological and Hawaiian history. Camilla was super excited when the dolphins showed up and got us all in the water, making sure everyone got to be with them up close. Call Samantha directly to book...she gave my wife a great pkg price which beats anything you'll find on groupon, or elsewhere. Also shout outs to Riley & Ola for manta portion. Highly recommend !

Highly organized operation; great experience. Biggest bummer was the more annoying other crews out there at the same time -- but nothing these guys can do about that.

This small operation knows how to find the rays and has a workable system in place. Greeter Riley is awesome. Dylan (Dillon?) was helpful in the water answering questions and guiding is to just the right spot for maximum viewing. The captain was a bit short with the passengers (why I removed a star), to the point of causing real injuries to another guest. He has a rough job with safety in mind as a priority, for sure, but more patience would go a long way in my book. This is a tour for able bodied and physically fit people. If you can't pull yourself up on a ladder on a small boat, it might not be the route for you. It was otherwise awesome, despite the COLD (even in a wet suit) - fellow southerners be prepared! šŸ˜‚
