Great experience. Same did great job on refresher course with our sone. We will book another dive.
These guys know how to Manta. They have mastered the art to throw a cookout and host Manta rays. I had the most incredible manta night dive with Aquatic Life Divers—truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. From the moment we got in the water, it felt like stepping into another world. As the lights illuminated the ocean below, manta rays began to appear… and then more… and more. It quickly turned into a full-on manta feast. At one point, I counted at least twenty mantas gliding, circling, and swooping gracefully just inches away from us. It was absolutely mesmerizing. The team at Aquatic Life Divers was outstanding—professional, well-organized, and genuinely passionate about what they do. I will always trust this company with any of my future diving needs. A very special thank you to Mary, Dylan, and Captain Tara—a true winning team. They took care of everything for us and made the entire experience completely worry-free. Watching these gentle giants up close, barrel-rolling through the light beams as they fed, is something I’ll never forget. It’s one of those rare moments that truly takes your breath away. And Mary—thank you. You are, without a doubt, the queen of mantas. If you’re on the Big Island, this is an absolute must-do. I would go back and do it again in a heartbeat.
Wow—what an epic description of the manta experience! 🤩 You captured the magic of those nights perfectly. And your photos? Absolutely stunning! The way you caught the mantas mid-flight through the light beams is just breathtaking—it really brings the whole experience back to life. We’re so glad Mary, Dylan, and Captain Tara made the night seamless and memorable for you. We’ll definitely let Mary know she’s been crowned “Queen of the Mantas”! 👑 Hope to see you again for round two!
Top notch experience from the Capt Tara who was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout experience and the dive masters were excellent. I have to say a special thank you to Mary her excitement about diving is contagious and really made you want to come back to dive as soon as possible. The manta ray dive was really special, have done this dive before, but this experience with this company was very special. We were so close the mantas it felt magical and awe inspiring! Highly recommend doing this dive with Aquatic life, you will not be disappointed.

Capt. Tara was amazing, very informative and helpful throughout the experience. The dive masters on this boat are awesome! Very informative and knowledgeable.

Had done the Manta Ray dive in Kona before years ago, but this experience was very special and I would highly recommend using this company for this experience!

Second trip out with the aquatic life divers.. after doing the morning 2- tank dive i had to go back for the manta ray dive.. And i was not disappointed as it was an otherworldly experience. The Valkyrie crew was fun and entertaining while also being very knowledgeable about the manta ray population around the Kona region. Once again i would highly recommend Aquatic life divers to anyone interested in a small group personal dive experience,
Thank you so much for joining us again — we love that one trip just wasn’t enough! 🤿✨ We’re thrilled to hear you decided to come back for the manta ray dive and that it lived up to the hype. It truly is an otherworldly experience, and we’re so glad you got to witness it for yourself. The Valkyrie crew will be happy to hear your kind words! They take a lot of pride in creating a fun, safe, and educational experience, especially when it comes to sharing their knowledge about our local manta ray population here in Kona. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your support. We can’t wait to have you back out with us for trip number three! 🌊🐋
Captain Tara and the entire team were well qualified and extremely fun. A definite must for any visit to Kona and Kama'aina also.
Mahalo nui loa for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a great time with Captain Tara and the rest of the team. We truly appreciate your kind words and love that you’d recommend the experience to both visitors and kamaʻāina alike. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back on board again soon!
We did the night-time "snorlel with the manta ray" tour. It was definitely an adventure. The crew and captain were incredible. The tour is a blast but be ready for cold temps, rough seas and adventrue. You only live once, so definitley plan it!
Thank you so much for joining us for the nighttime manta ray snorkel and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the adventure and that our captain and crew helped make it memorable. You’re absolutely right — the ocean at night can bring chilly temperatures and some bumps along the way, but we’re glad you embraced the excitement and made the most of it. Mahalo for the recommendation and for choosing to spend your “once in a lifetime” moment with us! We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon.
