It was amazing how close they swam to you. We had the privilege of watching quite a few swim around us. The night was capped off with dolphins swimming around us.

Came to the big island to surprise my husband with this experience- was told we always see at lest one. We saw none. Not mad - you canā€™t control wild animals. But wish they offered a discount or a reschedule to try again

Aloha Jessica, I'm sorry the mantas were a no-show on your tour out with us. I understand the frustration to plan something like this and not have it work out. The good news though is that because your booked at a discounted rate through a 3rd party you are able to come back out again for a steeply discounted offer of $30 a seat. This offer never expires and can be used on your next visit to the Big Island. I'm sorry that we were not able to get you rebooked for a different day as all of our tours were sold out. In the future if you would like to redeem this offer please call our reservation line at 808-313-1116 and one of our staff would be happy to assist you. If you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance feel free to let us know. Sincerely Ashlie For those reading all guest s are provided with a confirmation email that lists our manta policy This can be viewed below.

One of the most magical experiences I've ever had! I called last minute and the staff was really kind to find a spot for me. The crew I went with on the boat was amazing, such great energy making the experience even more wonderful. We saw around 10 mantarays, and they got super close. They even gave us cookies and hot chocolate!

Mahalo for the kind words and we hope to see you again. Aloha.
