The crew was very patient and accommodating. The boat was nice. We ran a little late, but the checkin person explained all that we were doing.

Well run, efficient, and friendly. Truly an experience of a lifetime. From the smooth check in and welcoming of Lihau, to the 5 minute boat ride to the site, to the expertise and guidance of Eli, the whole experience was amazing. Eli expertly positioned our small group of 6 to maximize our viewing of the manta rays and narrated fun facts during the experience. Very friendly and made us feel safe the whole time. It was great that there was a max of only 6 of us during our timeslot. Eventhough we connected with a larger group at the site, we really felt taken care of. It was so confusing to decide which outfitter to chose, but the experience with Hawaii Island Ocean Tours made you feel special. And the hot chocolate and cookies at the end was the best! The team knows how to take care of their guests.

Thanks for sharing Michael. It was a pleasure having you out with us. It's heartwarming to hear that this was such a great experience for you and that everyone in your group enjoyed the tour while feeling safe. I will be sure to pass the kind words back to Eli and Lihau. They are great guys and we are lucky to have them as part of our ohana. Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review and happy to hear that the hot cocoa and cookies were a hit afterwards. We hope to see everyone again and wish you much Aloha.

Unfortunately we had bad timing. Didn't get to see too many manta rays. We had bristle worms (i think they're called) come out during our time and the guides thought that might be why we didn't get to see too many manta rays. I have swam with manta rays before and last time I got to see many more rays. This time they were few and far between however we did get to see 'Bertha' one of the biggest manta rays in Kona and she came right up to us, saving the show a bit. They ended up cancelling the tour after ours because of worms and not many rays. A tad disappointing I didn't get to show my husband how amazing it was last time but seeing the giant one was pretty cool. Crew was awesome, super knowledgable and obviously the manta rays are out of their control. Our guide in the water did everything he could to try to get more rays to come up just unfortunate timing for us. Wish we had another shot at it.
