Wonderful evening on the catamaran with the Kona Style crew. Very pleasant ride along the Kona coast as advertised. The crew was welcoming, and accommodating, quickly settling passengers, getting some music playing, and refreshments into peoples hands. That was boring part, lol. When we got to the area for viewing, we watched the captain of our crew jockey for ideal position, as there where other boats. We got a great spot indeed, as it seemed all the mantas where coming to us! It was absolutely amazing. We saw about 8 mantas, and they visited us for a good 20 minutes, swimming by, twirling and doing loops under us to the point where they where just about grazing our stomachs. Great support from the crew throughout all the amazing chaos with the mantas, to keep us all literally afloat. I mean, one of the crew members was swimming around and adjusting people's noodle floats to keep us in deal position. There are several crews/tours available for manta viewing... chose Kona Style. You will be glad you did. Words can't describe how amazing a night we had. Bring a gopro!

An experience of a lifetime. We had numerous manta rays swimming underneath us and turning right underneath us inches away. One of them even brushed my stomach which is referred to by the Hawaiians as the Manta Ray “blessing you”. Tanner and the rest of the crew could not have been more welcoming and fun to be with. Everybody left the boat happy and cheering and thanking the crew. And I mean everybody. The crew was so helpful getting in and out of the water and making sure everybody had a great time. Tanners instructions were spot on. Don’t debate about doing this with this crew, company and boat. Just do it!

Mahalo for joining us and for the awesome recommendation John! Captain Tanner and the rest of the team know how to maximize your experience in a fun and safe environment. There is nothing like seeing the majestic hahalua (manta rays) doing their underwater dance right underneath you! Aloha, Alika M.. Owner

From the get go, Killarney and his crew were very informative & attentive towards us. The vessel we sailed in, was a catamaran, so I’m guessing with two hulls, it’s more stable. Before we even got to the harbor, Travis welcomed us, and told us a little about the history of the Big Island. Now on to the trip itself. It took us around 35 minutes to reach our destination, soft drinks and other beverages were offered along the way to the destination,which is in front of the Sheraton Hotel. Killarney explained about the lava flowing into the sea there providing something or other, I can’t rightly remember. This is the reason all the Manta Rays congregate there. We had wetsuits, masks & goggles to wear, and when we were ready, the crew lowered a staircase for us to enter the water. Once in the water, we were told to hold on to a float with arms outstretched, and they placed a noodle around your waist to keep us buoyant. They then switched on some special blue lights to attract plankton, which ultimately attracts the rays. It’s was an unbelievable experience, with one of the rays named Ali Baba, doing a barrel roll, right underneath us! We spent around 30 minutes on the water, which is more than enough time to see what you want. Not only rays but also shoals of fish swimming around, pretty neat to see also! Once back onboard, we were offered hot chocolate to warm us up, another nice gesture. From start to finish, I cannot praise & thank our captain and crew for taking good care of us. A first class experience & a first class company to use!
