Incredible experience up close with the mantas. We were action packed the entire time and all of the family enjoyed the experience Staff was great too
The front of the boat was able to catch a brief glimpse of a manta ray, but unfortunately our family didn't get the experience we had hoped for. We were told we could rebook another trip under the satisfaction guarantee, which we really appreciated. However, the rebooking process was extremely difficult. I tried on two different days to reschedule but had a hard time getting a response. I was instructed to call the morning of the tour to check availability. After several attempts, I finally got through and was told to call back one hour before the tour. When I called again an hour before, I was then told to call after 7:00 p.m. Unfortunately, when I tried again after 7:00 p.m., I was unable to reach anyone. Our children were especially disappointed that they never had the opportunity to go back out. While we appreciated the satisfaction guarantee, the rebooking process made it nearly impossible to actually use it. I hope the communication and rebooking system can be improved so future guests are able to take advantage of the guarantee without so much difficulty.
I think this company should consider revamping their systems, especially when at the dive site. It was choppy and chaotic, and the person who was trying to swim/pull us out there was stressed, out of breath, and low key yelling at us to get the float on our feet, which was stressful for the people who were struggling. Having two people in the water would be safer overall. We only stayed at the site for about 15 minutes. I’m not sure if this was normal or not, because we did have a medical emergency during this trip, but that being said no refunds were given.
My best friend and I decided to do something we’ve never done before, and we’re glad we did. Such a cool and incredible experience, the boat captain was incredibly knowledgeable, and seeing the manta rays was breathtaking. Do this before leaving big island!
Awesome experience, very friendly and helpful people who were working the tour. We were thankful enough to see a manta ray on our first visit! Would highly recommend this to anyone interested and definitely rent the GoPro if it’s available!
Great people. Very relaxed vibe but still very knowledgeable. Pretty sure they are even priced the best. You won't be disappointed.
10/10 experience! We saw at least 5 mantas it was worth every penny! They will offer to rent you wet suits etc but they are definitely NOT necessary as they give you what is needed. The guide will move you in the water to help ensure you see mantas! 100% worth the money.
The crew was very nice and knowledgeable and we had a great experience. They make sure you see the Manta Rays and have a good system going. We had a great time! Shoulders are sore from holding on to the float but worth it! Thank you!
Absolutely ridiculous experience. This company overbooked our tour and then acted like it was our problem. We showed up expecting to do the tour we had booked, only to find out there wasn’t room for us because they had sold more spots than they could actually accommodate. What made it even worse was their response. There was no real apology, no effort to make things right, and no meaningful solution offered. They basically shrugged their shoulders and left us stuck after ruining our plans. If you’re thinking about booking with this company, be aware that your reservation apparently doesn’t guarantee anything. The lack of accountability and customer service was honestly shocking. Would not book with them again. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere
This was a terrible experience. They canceled on us twice in one week when we rescheduled and were being very patient. Terrible customer service as well when they told us they would give us another appointment it was too late. We couldn’t get one swim in a week. They are unreliable and unprofessional.
