This trip was outstanding! The mantas come so close to you that you sometimes get bumped (according to the ancient Hawaiians, you will have good luck for life if the manta touches you!) The crew on the boat were friendly and efficient and gave us lots of information, provided wet suits, snorkel gear, hot drinks and adult beverages, and the whole trip was unbelievable. So good. Totally worth staying up late for!
I would recommend checking the weather forecast and the surf forecast, because we did one several years ago that was a total flop because a storm had come in that day and the water was so choppy that it hurt my shoulders to hang on to the light board, and was murky and only one manta showed up, but didn't come close to the light board. The good news is that this company now guarantees you a good trip for free later if you get a bust. This trip was on a mild weather day before the surf got rough a few days later, and it was unbelievably wonderful!

Aloha! We appreciate the detail you put into this review! Your tips are spot on! Thank you for sharing! We're glad you had a wonderful time snorkeling with the manta rays! Mahalo for coming out with us - The KONATYLE Ohana
For future guests, during the summer months, it can be tough to play your booking by ear because we are often booked out for at least a week. We do also encourage our guests to book a trip with us early in your stay! If a rare weather cancellation or zero-manta night takes place, we would love to rebook you on a trip later in your visit!
