We were excited about this event. We had done this before with another company, but we had to ride by boat for 20-30 minutes to get to the area. The Seaquest boats are much closer. Everything was going well as we went out to the area to see the Mantas. The captain was a little fast with his explanation on what to do when you get out in the water. He had asked if anyone does not swim or had ever snorkeled before. 2 people raised their hands, but the staff did not help. One guy while out in the water was choking or aspirating in the water next to me. I asked if he needed help, but said he was alright. I had to alert a staff member to help who finally came. The mantas were just not as prevalent this trip as before, but it seemed other boats were having a great experience as was heard in the distance. I would recommend this Co. but suggest the staff to be aware of non-swimmers or people who have not snorkeled before to help them and be more aware or their needs. It does affect the others who are more experienced and do not want to have to have to provide help unless its an emergency.

I did both the Deluxe Morning Snorkel and Night Manta Experience and had a great time with both tours. The entire Sea Quest crew was amazing and made sure everyone had fun on the tours! The Deluxe Morning Snorkel had snorkeling at Two-Step by the Place of Refuge and Captain Cook. Both locations had crystal clear water with vibrant and healthy reefs that made for amazing snorkeling!! After snorkeling on the other Hawaiian Islands it is clear the Big Island has some of the best, if not the best, snorkeling of the islands. The Night Manta Experience was much different but equally as fun and unforgettable. The Manta snorkel doesn't really involve snorkeling, you are just laying flat on the top of the water as the mantas swim under you, but you'll be happy to just sit and admire the mantas as they seem to dance directly underneath you. The mantas come right up to the surface, but make sure you don't touch them. We lucked out and saw 15-20 mantas on our snorkel and everyone, snorkelers and the Sea Quest Crew alike, were super excited!!

Extremely well-run operation. All the staff were professional and enthusiastic. Extremely short boat ride to the snorkel site. Beautiful experience. We saw at least 3 different manta rays several of which got so close that they grazed me! Highly recommended!
