Very disappointed With this company
Jiri_K
, Mar 2020
We were very disappointed with this company and entire trip. The trip should be 2.5-3 hrs. In water we should be 1hrs try to find Mantarays. The trip took only 2 hrs and we were in water only 1/2 hrs. Did not see anything. Also they don't care about your swimming skills and let you swim too far. After we get back on boat, the boat start going back right the way and did not give us any time to dry or change cloths.I don't recommend this company at all.
Response from Host , Mar 2020
Aloha Jiri, the snorkel adventure is approx 2-2.5 hr as advertised. The captain announced leaving quickly because of the strong rip current and weather coming in. It was purely a safety concern which is our top priority. There was only one manta that night and I know it was a bit of a short show. We do guarantee manta rays our you can come again for free. We did not receive a response from you, however you are welcome to join us again free of charge :)

An Incredible Evening

Our guides, though English was there second language, did a wonderful job in communicating with all the people on the boat, level of knowledge about the Manta Rays, able to get everyone to the site and see some incredible moments and was understanding enough to drop off one of the passengers who was sick. The entire trip was memorable and the best that we had here at the Big Island...

Nite Manta Rays

Made the reservation on Viator. Tour company tried to get us to change dates then confirmed date. Then changed time. Tried to contact them at site and still haven't heard back from then. Seems we were farmed out to another tour. After a few anxious moments we finally got going. Boat and crew were great. Quite a few Manta Rays and was great experience. Be prepared to hang on to board bobbing in ocean. Wouldn't recommend for non swimmer or inexperienced snorkelers unless really calm conditions. Great experience and really worth doing at least once. You get a really up close encounter with 6-10 foot totally calm and harmless creatures.

Aloha Mr Spence, so glad to hear you had an amazing experience with the manta rays and crew. You went with us on tour as we met the minimum. We are a smaller company so yes we sometimes ask customers if they can adjust dates if it convenient so that we can confirm a trip. But we never did change the time on you....that was the same :) Thank you for the review

Absolutely amazing!! Capt Eaiski did a great job educating us before we got on the boat, on the do’s and don’ts, safety, fun facts, etc. He knew exactly where the rays would be and made sure we had a great, safe experience! We definitely got up close and personal with those gorgeous creatures! Wonderful time! Great crew!

Chris and "Budda" did a fantastic job getting us to the spot, finding a good, active manta ray, and giving us enough time to watch it feed. It was really nice being part of a smaller group, as they literally swam us around to find the mantas, as opposed to the bigger boats where it appears the mantas have to swim to you if you want to see them. Highly recommend!

Buddha and Kris were awesome captains! We got to swim with 3 mantas all to ourselves and mantas came super close to us. Buddha also was entertaining with Da jokes. Highly recommended.

Family of six thoroughly enjoyed seeing the manta rays. The sea was a little rough but the boat captain set the expectations correctly. It was a thrilling ride in the dark. My only constructive criticism would be that the crew were more informative and helpful to the folks in our group that were new to snorkeling and and explained more before getting in the water ie keeping legs up, etc. Overall excellent!!
