The Manta Rays were centimeters from my face. The amazing size of the animals is unforgettable. I will remember this for a lifetime. The Rays brush against you and act as of you are not even there.

Thanks for snorkeling with us Dakota. There is nothing quite like going eyeball to eyeball with a 1000lb manta ray gliding gracefully beneath you. Even after many years, the experience of being with these magnificent animals never gets old. Mahalo for review and we hope to see you both again. Aloha.

This was a great experience. I was very happy that this was a small group on a small boat. We didn't need to motor far to get to the swimming spot. Our 6:20 departure was right on time and we were among the first group in the water. It was an amazing sunset and we had at least a half dozen close encounter with a Manta. The guides were very informative and helpful. Wetsuit was nice to stay warm and buoyant. We were in the water for about 30 minutes, which was perfect (longer would have gotten a bit cold).

Thanks for sharing Michael. It was a pleasure having you out with us and I'm pleased to hear that this was such a great experience for you. A Hawaiian sunset followed by a magical manta encounter sounds like a pretty spectacular way to spend an evening. Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review and we hope to see you again. Aloha.

Amazing! Our guide was very knowledgeable about Manta Rays and knows many of them by name and age. Check in was quick and easy. We saw so many rays! They swam just INCHES from our faces and brushed up against as they were feeding. Next time I will being a go pro to strap to my chest.
