We enjoyed seeing the Manta Rays. That part was great. However, we had an arrival time of 7:40. We were called at 7:15 and they asked us if we could come earlier. We were already in the car and told them we would get there by 7:30. When we got there, they rushed us to put on wet suits and to get to snorkel sight because they had already taken the other people out to the sight. We had no briefing about Manta Rays or time to prepare our cameras, etc. A fun experience turned into a stressful rushed experience. Our snorkel time was also cut short as the other people were out so long and ready to come back. They also made it appear as if we were late for our tour and that they accommodated us by taking us out anyway. Not happy at all with the service we received from your company.

Aloha, Thank you for your feedback. Often times we will have a few circumstances in moving reservations to accommodate everyone throughout the night. Regardless, I know this is no excuse to have your excursion cut short and to feel rushed for a serene tour. I do appreciate your feedback as this helps us to improve in certain areas to make us a better running company. I am happy that you were able to see the manta rays. Overall, I would love to see if we can make things better for you. Please feel free to call me at 808-315-8631 if you or a friend is ever in town again. Mahalo, Alisha Lei

This was an absolutely amazing experience! We had booked this excursion cause my wife loves Manta Rays and she was not disappointed. The group was small and the instructions were easy to follow. The views were spectacular there were Manta rays a plenty and the would swim right up in front of you like within an inch. These gentle creatures are so impressive to see and this experience is well worth your time. The staff was great and very knowledgable.

You will love this experience! The mantas swim so close that you can (almost) touch them. The snorkeling spot is just a few minutes away by boat so you can get down to the fun almost immediately. Well worth the price.
