We took the Manta tour with Buddha and Kris on the recommendation of a friend. So glad we did! Because they only have one boat a night, they were able to wait out the weather, crowds and mantas.
When we arrived at the designated snorkel spot, I was Leary ... so many boats, so many people, and it appeared not too many mantas. Buddha scoped out the spot he felt likely to work, and we entered the water. In no time three mantas were frolicking with us - at points literally inches from us.
My kids are 13, 11, and 8 and they all loved this. Worth the money and time. Truly unique experience that we won’t forget.
