I had a great time with the crew and enjoyed the experience. Nick, Brennan, and Emily was very knowledgeable on why the Manta Rays come and have been coming for years. I saw 5 Manta Rays with 10 ft wing spans that came within arm reach the crew knew the names of the Manta Rays and were to find them. When my wife got sea sick and daughter had enough snorkeling they took them back and kept the tour going. You get 45 mins in the water and I have experience nothing like this great show i recommend everyone go. The Marine Family.

I was a little concerned because of arthritis in the shoulders/arms, but this was a wonderful experience. Perhaps we were lucky, as that night there were 5 Mantas feeding under our lights. These are very big creatures 5-12 feet across. They have learned to swim a looping manoeuvre to best catch the plankton in the light beam. So with the magnification of the water/mask interface, they seem to come inches away from you at the top of their loop. No danger they only eat plankton. Some found the rocking of the raft straining on the shoulders & a few got nauseated, but EVERYONE thought it was well worth it.

My family and I went on this fun night time snorkel tour last night and it was a blast! Captain Nick and his ship mates Emily and Natalie were very informative and helpful especially with choppy waters it can make it a pretty nerve racking experience. We all had so much fun and never once felt scared in the water. This is a must do for anyone coming to Kona!!! I hope you get Captain Nick :):):):)
