I came with my boyfriend to go on vacation. It was a good experience for the manta ray watch. I did see 5-6 of them different size. Lucky, that the sea was calm and manta ray came with different size, somewhat different pattern. The best part is we got to meet the dolphin which is lucky for us, because it is rare in that area. The only thing is that it can be scary for some people due to darkness and the vast ocean. Just take a life vest to comfort yourself. I only have 4 stars because the guide is not constantly swimming around. My boyfriend was frightening due to the noodle float was taken away by another person. He raised hand for help to get back but no one came. I also got push away to another side and cannot stay near my boyfriend. So just be safe with life vest to protect yourself

We loved this experience. We are a family of five and everyone had a great time. We saw several Manta Rays and they were very close to us doing backflips. I would say if you are not comfortable in water this experience would not be fun for you. We had a couple of people that were clearly uncomfortable and this impacted the experience for the rest of us.

**bring your own towel and warm clothes for afterwards!!** The manta rays come so close to you!! Try to be the first to exit the boat so you get dibs on the best spot and get the most time in the water. People in our group kept not following the rules: float and lay flat so the manta rays are not spooked and come over. We laid there for about 30 minutes with nothing happening after the first manta came right when we got into the water (I think none came because of these people not floating and I could see their legs dangling). After these people got out of the water because they were bored or cold, 3 manta rays came! They were like nothing Iā€™ve seen before. Iā€™m happy I pushed through even though I was cold and kept lightly kicking to keep warm because the end was so worth it. Thankfully everyone left around the board in the end were laying flat so this could happen! They do offer noodles for those who canā€™t lay flat so I wish they did that for the everyone who couldnā€™t swim well. No one got sea sick on our boat so that was great. Reading other reviews worried me but the captain controlled the boat well when it got choppy. **wetsuit tops, snorkel goggles and snorkel, juice, water, snacks are provided.** I would recommend this for adults who are good swimmers. I wish there was an option to pick a group with experienced swimmers for a better chance to see more manta rays. Life vests are provided for those who arenā€™t good at swimming, but I wish they could be separate groups. Alejo and Jake (?) were great guides and very informative.
