From the start,, the staff were so helpful at answering practical questions about the experience and quelling any fears. The staff care about the mantas and make sure you are informed and prepared to know how to be in the water to prevent any negative impacts to the feeding mantas. They moved our raft to the best place to view the mantas and we had four mantas feeding underneath our raft. It was just such an amazing thing to see these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. A must do for anyone. No swimming skills needed, you just hold the raft and have a noodle to keep your body flat on the water. Truly, a magical experience!

Five of us went out shortly after New Years! Quick communication to set up the tour (we had to rebook as the wave swells and poor visibility cancelled our tour with another company). Easy to spot in the parking lot at night and Hunter got us all geared up before we boated out to meet our guide in the harbour. It only took about 10 minutes in the water before we saw one, two, then four rays. Shocking how close they come-brushing your arm and face at times. The guide gave us good info and we spend just long enough in the water before getting a little chilled-even with wet suits. One nice thing is we five were the only ones in the group-small and personalized. Also high priority of respecting the rays and not touching them (on purpose). Would recommend these guys for sure-well done!

The manta snorkel trip that we did last night was awesome. Capt. John and the guide Dillon set us up in a spot a little way from the other boats and we were fortunate to have 3-4 mantas all to ourselves, inches away. I have done quite a few tours over the years with different companies, and each experience of course is always unique as these are wild creatures. I appreciated that the crew made the effort though to think outside the box to get us the best experience possible with the current conditions. Everyone was friendly and professional from start to finish. Small group tour is the way to go!
