Incredible is just one of many words I can think of to describe this experience. The water conditions were less than ideal on the night of our trip, but it was so worth the effort and the crew really went out of their way to check in with every guest and ensure that everyone was comfortable.
We had Bill as our captain and Jackie and Sam as support crew, and they were absolutely fantastic. Bill has a great sense of humor, a repertoire of stories, and really took care to go through the pertinent safety items thoroughly. You can tell he has a great respect for these mantas, and would not tolerate someone who wouldn't respect the rules.
Sam and Jackie worked so hard, but made it look so easy. They constantly made the rounds, and not just quick check-ins, but really took the time to get to know everyone on the boat. When we were in the water, it was the same. Making sure everyone was ok, gear was working sufficiently, and keeping the floating devices we hung onto stabilized and located in the best spot in really choppy water.
Of course, the Manta Rays steal the show. They kept us in suspense for quite a long time, but when they did make their appearance, wow, was it unforgettable! It's hard to describe how amazing it is to be in the water with these massive docile creatures, but all I can say is it is worth it!
Mahalo!
