This was an amazing experience. I appreciated the attention to safety by the captain & crew. Drew was a sweetheart and his infectious enthusiasm really made what could be an intimidating experience into a really fun one. Shauna was so kind and patient with everyone, especially me, who is not only shy, but also a pretty weak/beginner swimmer & snorkeler. I had never swam in the ocean and had a mild panicky moment in the water (it really wasn't scary, but my nervous system didn't listen to me) and Shauna calmly suggested I try a different mask which made all the difference. They really paid attention to everyone's comfort levels and I think everyone felt cared for and safe. I was also impressed how quickly they learned everyone's names and took time to talk and joke with everyone on the way out and back. They all clearly have respect for the ocean and manta rays and I was impressed with their efficient operation. The captain was clearly knowledgeable/experienced and took great care and pride in the boat and equipment. The sunset was beautiful, getting a chance to snorkle a little beforehand was useful to get out the jitters early, and the pineapple and cookies were refreshing and yummy. And I haven't even talked about the manta rays! So many! They were beautiful, magical, otherworldly, majestic, graceful, and I could go on. There were a lot of other boats doing this tour, but I highly recommend this specific tour because of the excellent captain and crew operating it. Thanks to them (and the mantas of course) for an unforgettable experience!
