This experience is absolutely worth facing whatever fears you may have about getting in the ocean at night. I've never been a fan of dark water, so I was anxious about this experience, but I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity. IT WAS INCREDIBLE! I will never forget the moment the first manta ray came into view. They are BEAUTIFUL! We spent about 30 minutes watching two stunning manta rays gracefully fly through the water in the light of our flotation device.
Since you're not swimming, but floating on the surface of the water, you'll be glad you're wearing a wetsuit. Sea Quest provides shorties. I brought my own full-length wetsuit since I know I get chilly in the water.
The staff stores all your belongings for safekeeping at the start of the experience. The boat ride to the snorkel spot was less than 10 minutes away and just a bit of a tight fit. Hot chocolate and packaged cookies were provided upon our return. The crew was pleasant and clearly experienced.
I highly recommend booking early in the week in case you have to reschedule due to weather. We originally planned this adventure for Monday, but weren't able to go out until Friday. Luckily, the receptionist made rescheduling hassle-free!
I was part of a party of 11 (ages 19 to 52), and we all enjoyed our experience.
12/10 Absolutely recommend! I can't wait to snorkel with manta rays again!
