Awe inspiring. Breathtaking. Unforgettable

Unbelievable. The best time to go is 9:30 pm. We had no other boats to compete with and we had soo many Manta Rays swimming right under us . It is shocking how close they come to you. Bring warm clothes to wear back because you will be shivering.

So Happy we did this!

The staff was GREAT! The one who orientated us was very good in giving us all the basics and he was very, very funny! He was also very good with kids. He quickly created a relaxed, warm environment. Everyone of the crew was GREAT! Highly recommend this. Definitely a highlight of our visit to the island of Hawaii!

Awesome adventure!

How fun and exciting! Expertly staffed and equipped. Even better than I had imagined. This is on the shortlist of top adventures and experiencing marvelous creatures in their own habitats. HIGHLY recommended.

Fantastic!!!

Such an amazing experience. Our boat Captain, Kelly and his crew were great. They gave us a lot of information which was delivered with a lot of humor. That added to the fun of the trip. They were very thorough with the instructions for what to do in the water and made sure everyone was comfortable. One of my family members had decided she was too anxious to participate. They convinced her to try it just for a few minutes. She was so glad she did. They made sure she was comfortable and felt safe the whole time. When she was done, one of the crew escorted her back to the boat. We saw about two manta rays at first and then more started wandering over. At one point we had about 6-8 swimming under us. So COOL!

Great experience

Great, once in a lifetime experiences! Lena and Mona were excellent and very knowledgeable. In addition to manta rays, we saw sharks and dolphins. One of my families favorite excursions we did!

Awesome experience!

What an incredible experience! The staff were friendly, helpful, and funny. They worked well together and were kind and patient with the five teens/kids my husband and I brought on the tour. A couple of us were cold and ready to go in a little earlier than the rest of the group and they were helpful getting us back to the boat without disrupting the rest of the group. Manta’s were very active and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience!

This tour was awesome!! We had Elayo, Shayden (maybe idk the spelling), and Kelly taking out to the mantas and we had such a good show! Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Best family memory ever!

From the time we arrived to when we got off the boat, Lena and Amanda took amazing care of us! So kind and funny! Our daughter was very nervous and Lena took her time to make sure she felt comfortable! Our family has done many excursions all over different countries and this was the most amazing and memorable one yet!
