Bucket list Experience!

Incredible experience! I had no idea of what to expect. When the Mantarays started to swim right underneath us, I was startled at first but then it was so beautiful to see them so close. So amazing!!

Great crew, no rays

Leaving five stars for the excellent experience provided by our Captain and crew. The wetsuits provided for well and the experience of night snorkeling was a first for us and truly amazing. However, the Mantas themselves were shy tonight, despite our team's best efforts. We were provided a voucher with no expiration to come back and try again. Next trip to the Big Island we will definitely be back with this company.

Mahalo Grace for your amazing review despite no mantas and understanding they are a wild creature :( Every once in a while they don't come around for whatever reason. There is no real rhyme or reason. Yes we are more than happy to give you a free trip when you return❤

It was amazing. And we picked the right company to go with! Budha was amazing. He moved us 3 times to make sure we were in the right spot to see the most manta rays. At one time we had 6 swimming around us. We even got touched a couple times!! So cool. I definitely recommend getting a water proof case for your phone. I got some amazing videos. Chris the owner was also very nice and friendly. Great experience!!
