This is absolutely a “Must-Do” when going to the Big Island. There were 8 people and 2 guides for our trip. When we arrived at the snorkel site, there were several other boats there and we stayed a little away from them. What a GREAT decision because there were regularly 3 Manta Rays with us. They are majestic and gigantic creatures that barrel roll over and over and over. The guides provided education about rays and what we were to do and what not to do for the protection of the wildlife.
If you are unsure about this tour, don’t hesitate. This was the best of the best for us. There was one child who was around 10, his dad, a young couple, my 26 yr. old daughter, two 40-ish men and me, a 55 yr. old female. Everyone participated - the most strenuous part was getting back in the boat at the end and that was easy. You need to be able to keep your face down in the water so your legs stay on the surface. But they give you pool noodles to help with that.
Thanks for a spectacular adventure!!!!
