We are a family of 11 with ages ranging from 18 Mos to 63 years. We all went on this trip. 1st of all the company was willing to work with our adult children so that they could trade off to care for their 18 mo. old baby. Captain Tanner was welcoming while informing the snorkelers of the process. The crew was efficient and hospitable. Although, I did not have one - I heard the Mai tais were awesome! The crew Dan,Koa, and two others, I would not want to misname them, were attentive to the needs of each of the snorkelers. They handed out wetsuit tops and all the gear. They prepared the floating boards as well as guided the snorkelers off the boat. They made sure we were safe and ready for a incredible experience. They offered information about the anatomy and habits of the Manta Rays as we snorkelled. I have saved the best for last! As soon as I placed my masked face in the water, I saw 2 mantas! Wow it was awesome. Oh but it gets better - the Mantas came right up to my face. I watched in awe as they would swim up with open mouthes to feed on the plankton circling over and over! I thought they were going to touch me. It was an incredible experience! And I am one of the 63 year olds! The hot cocoa and cookies on the trip back topped off the evening.

Aloha, Ritamay! Wow! What a great review, thank you! It's very exciting to have a big group/family on board. They tend to bring great energy and familiarity! We will share your appreciation with the crew regarding their hard work, attentiveness, and professionalism. You definitely missed out on the Mai Tais 😋 but our hot cocoa is pretty tasty too! Mahalo for joining us and trusting our team with the safety of your family! - The KONASTYLE Ohana.

My wife and our 20-something daughter went on the Late Night Snorkel. We’d seen mantas feeding from shore before (#Eat@Huggos ;-). But never up close in the water. We were treated to not one… not two… not three… But Four!!! Rising up and rolling and feeding within inches of our masks at the same time!!! Now that was apparently a rare show. But as they say “Half of life is signing up & showing up.” It was an incredible night which we will never forget. Cat’n Scott and the crew and the entire operation were top-notch & very professional (said this old sailor :-). I would highly recommend this excursion .

Thank you, Michael! We're glad that everyone had an incredible experience snorkeling with the manta rays! Four manta rays up close is an incredible showing! We do everything we can to position our guests to see at least a couple as closely as possible! We count our blessings every single evening that we get to snorkel with the wild mantas up-close, but statistically speaking, we have pretty great odds! Mahalo for leaving us a great review! Aloha - The Kona Style Ohana.
