The check in process was easy and we were provided wetsuits to use, although the water was not cold in September. We used them anyway to be more comfortable since part of your body may be exposed to the surface and may get cold if it's windy. We were offered snorkeling masks, but we brought our own since the full coverage masks allow for easier breathing. The boat captain was very nice. The guide who towed us to where the manta rays were was very pleasant and informative. It took a while to find them, but once we did, it was all worth it. The manta rays came up very close to us and there were a couple of times when I thought they'd brush up on us. This was the highlight of our trip. Do not miss this activity!

Highly recommend to do this right when you get to the Big Island. Just incase weather is not permitting, so that you can reschedule during your trip because you should never leave the island without experiencing this!

Great company, they limit the tour to 6 people unlike the others we saw which had upwards of 12 people. The Manta were incredible to see and it was even more amazing than we thought it would be!

Aloha James, We are happy we were able to exceed your expectations. The smaller group setting does help us to focus not only on safety but providing knowledge for our guests. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Mahalo and safe travels
