Definitely worth the money! Our crew was friendly, professional, and always happy to help everyone whenever needed. If you’re on the fence, I can’t recommend this experience enough! We absolutely loved it. Seeing the manta rays up close was such an unforgettable experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We even spotted dolphins and a seal, which made the experience even more special!
Very exciting experience, nice crew, knowledgeable, nice boat. We saw dolphins along the way. 100% worth it!
Amazing experience, definitely a must when you visit Big island! The manta rays come pretty close to you!
This was a great experience. The crew knew exactly what they were doing and they had a certified lifeguard on board, so it felt like a very safe excursion. The manta rays came within minutes of getting everyone settled in the water and stayed around for the whole time. Everyone got plenty of time in the water to see them.
Highlight of our trip on the Big Island! Everyone working the tour was friendly and knowledgeable! Definitely don’t skip this experience if you’re in Kona.
Amazing experience. Long boat ride but well worth the ride. The crew was awesome and very informative.
This was incredible. The crew was helpful, attentive and very knowledgeable. The boat ride was about 30 minutes and included a beautiful sunset (we did the 6pm tour) and a great view of a pod of dolphins jumping and swimming. Highly recommend and we will likely do this again when we return to the big island.
Loved it. Life changing. It’s so peaceful and serene. Watching these majestic animals in their natural habitat is amazing.
We had a wonderful time and saw between 8-10 manta rays that passed directly underneath us, including one that did two barrel rolls right in front of my wife and I. The boat was clean and comfortable and it was a fairly quick 20-25 minute trip out to the snorkel sight. The crew took great care of us and helped ensure we had a successful trip!
The water felt cold after awhile and my arms were tired. I am 69 years old my husband got this for me for my birthday. The show the mantra rays put on was fabulous. We even saw a shark from a long distance. Well worth it.
