This was a really fun experience, we enjoyed ourselves and saw several mantas up close, many of them even brushed up against us, it was so cool. We did the 5pm for the bonus “sunset cruise” experience. They gave you wet suit tops to wear in the chilly water. Go to Costco in Kona they have a discount on this experience. The crew was awesome as well, I highly recommend this experience if you are able to withstand cooler water/temps for 30-45 mins and can hold on to surf board straps arms extended for the same 30-45 mins. When we went the water was ROUGH so bumpy boat ride and laying prone in chilly water hanging onto a surf board in rough water for 45 mins. A few folks became ill due to the rough waters and had to end their experience early. It was 100% worth the experience, just be prepared, and ensure you are up for the experience.
