I have done a Manta Ray Dive before. So I knew it was a magical experience. This snorkel trip was to show my daughter. Everything was great, except the equipment I felt was subpar. Had a mask strap break in the water. After that replacement, a leaking snorkel. Crew was great and they swapped gear immediately, but 2 gear malfunctions say to me, “upgrade your gear”.

A Must Do
tnjarnold
, Dec 2021
Ummm.... WOW! Face to face with Mata Rays! What an amazing experience. When we first got in the water, there were no Manta's to be found. But it didn't take long. Then suddenly you see one swimming up toward you from the depths. Just when you think it is going to get you, it turns and glides past you. Inches away, over and over. One of the best nights we have had and one we would do over and over again.

Close Encounters with the Manta Rays !

This was the most exciting adventure of my 3 week stay in HAWAII ! The crew was excellent and what a thrill to see so many of these gentle giants of the sea, the manta rays, gracefully gliding, somersaulting and passing gently beneath me, oftentimes skimming the surface of my skin smoothly and gently where you didn’t feel threatened. What an incredible adventure!

The lady in the check in was very friendly and helpful, she make sure that all the equipment was the right fit for each of us. The captain and his crew were amazing. They took care of us while we enjoyed the experience under the sea which was fantabulous! Highly recommend, this is an experience you can add on your bucket list.

Well worth it!

Awesome experience! We were not going to get in the water but it is WELL worth it! It's about a 5 minute boat ride out to the manatas and there are a lot of people out with you (feels safer). What an experience! We had about 6 barrel rolling mantas under us, next to us and right to us. It was so cool! The water is not cold, the guides are wonderful (we had Jen and Jas (sp?) with Kai (sp?) Driving). Not for young kids and swimming is a must!
