Wow! Truly a unique experience. Was not sure what to expect but heard this was a 'must do' by so many friends. So glad we did it. Also, going with this group was great too. There were only 6 of us. I liked the small group; our family w/two kids (11/15) got attention we would have not received with a larger group. The experience in the water was cool, a bit freaky but a fun experience. My kids told me after they were so scared (being in water in dark), but when we returned home I could not believe they actually said it was one of their favorite experiences of our vacation! Treats after and wet suits were a nice addition. Last but not least the team that took us out from greeting to pick up, and support in the water, were top notch...knowledgeable, professional.

Thank you for sharing Susan. It was a pleasure having your family out with us. I'm so glad to hear that you took your friends advice and signed up for this tour. To hear that this was such a highlight for your kids puts a big smile on my face. Mahalo for the kinds words and for choosing us as an operator. We definitely hope to see everyone back out again. Aloha.

Having the manta rays brush against my arms. As soon as I grabbed the surfboard the rays were inches away from my face.

Thanks for snorkeling with us Randy. There's nothing quite as thrilling as putting your face in the water and immediately going eyeball to eyeball with a 1,000 pound manta ray. Surprise! Anyways, mahalo for the review and we hope to see you both again. Aloha

Must do on the big island! This tour was amazing, small group up to 6 people at a time, so less of the hustle and bustle and right to the action. We saw so many manta rays and they get right in your face! Unforgettable experience!

Thanks for sharing Vivian. We understand that most people don't want to be put on a big boat or long boat ride so this tour is perfect for anyone who wants a quick trip with more personal attention. The mantas at Keauhou love snorkelers and really know how to steal the show. Mahalo for the review and we hope to see you both back out again. Aloha.
