Night Manta Ray snorkeling made our entire trip!! The staff here is amazing, they are knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. When I got a little sea sick they made sure to check with me every step of the trip. We also had the pleasure of doing a day snorkeling trip that was just as wonderful! Thank you so much to the extremely knowledgeable and kind Jayme (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and John who lead both teams. Jayme and John knew every Manta by name and explained everything we saw.

My husband (experienced diver) wanted me (novice snorkeler) to enjoy fun of nighttime ray encounter, so we booked the 8:30 pm sailing. It's a very short trip - 5 min. from shore to manta viewing site with this outfit. The female captain & her two female assistants were nice but it wasn't until I got seasick (while watching mantas in water, yes, it's possible) did I appreciate the team. They did not shame me or get impatient. They gently assisted me back to boat where captain kept me company while others finished their manta viewing. (Hint: on a good night, there are so many mantas you can see them from the boat too!). I should have taken Dramamine before departing - so if you're all all subject to mild seasickness - pop a couple beforehand. If you've never done an adventure before or are getting older & wonder if you're "past it" for adventures, this outfit will take care of you even if you have a hiccup or two on the way. My husband had new respect for how I handled things after I got sick - but it was the behind-the-scenes support (practical stuff like towing me short distance back to boat) of the team that left me with my pride intact!

Wonderful experience. Lovely night and we had a great show. The mantas came past very very close and often. I didn’t feel we were imposing on their space and they were doing their thing without worrying about us at all. Loved it!
