We didn’t think Hawai’i could get any more magical, after spending the week snorkeling with sea turtles, whale watching, and seeing a volcano erupt—then we come on this tour on our last night on the island. It was the most incredible experience of my entire life. The mantas were absolutely breathtaking and so docile. The crew was very knowledgeable and attentive, and with a little one we knew we were in good hands. I underestimated the physicality of the snorkel though, so would recommend this for older kids as you do have to hang onto the raft for the duration of the swim. I can’t recommend this event and Sea Paradise enough.

First, let me say the crew and captain are amazing, with a good sense of humor. They are incredibly patient and professional. Being able to be inches away from these majestic creatures was one of the coolest things I have done. The crew even told us their names. For all of my motion sickness friends, don’t get duped by other reviewers who say “it’s such a short ride, there’s no time to get sick.” Yes, it is only a 5 minute ride out there but you are floating for 40 minutes. They do provide you with ginger chews if that’s all you need. My husband and I aren’t that great with boats and prepared with Dramamine but were pretty queasy. That being said, it was TOTALLY worth it!!!

Thanks so much for your review of our Manta Tour. We are so pleased you enjoyed our crew and most of all, the manta rays. So sorry to hear you were not feeling well while in the water, seasickness is not fun.

First of all, loved the majority female crew. Everyone was very friendly and provided very clear instructions. It was a very very choppy night, so unfortunately we only saw one big manta ray. I almost wish the group was half the size because the boat felt a bit crowded, but the boat itself was gorgeous and super clean. The crew was very informative and did a great job squashing my fear of swimming in the ocean at night.

Thanks Hanna for your wonderful review of our Manta Tour. We are so pleased you enjoyed our crew while on our boat. So sorry to hear you only saw one manta ray, unfortunately they are wild marine animals and we cannot predict when they will appear. Aloha!
