This is my third time seeing the manta rays, but the first time with this company in this location. It was a great night. The crew were great, upbeat and helpful, and the Manta Rays put on a fantastic show. The boat ride to and from the location was very enjoyable. I highly recommend. Two tips: bring a jacket to put on afterwards you will probably be cold. And if you have the slightest chance of being seasick, take Dramamine before the trip. A surprising amount of people get seasick bobbing in the water.
Captain Allen, Justice and Co-ordinator (beautiful, young, intelligent snorkel leader) were professional, fun guides. Would definitely recommend to others.
This was an incredible experience and worth every penny!! We saw 9 manta rays and 3 sharks. The sharks did not come close to us. The Manta rays were soooo close. Absolutely stunning. The crew and captain Rory were top of the line. Laura knew exactly what to do when my husband got a horrible leg cramp. Everything was amazing from start to finish. Book immediately. So fun!!
Lena, Madi, Ehu and Bronson made this experience amazing and we can't say enough good things about them. I was expecting to see one or two Manta Rays and we saw about 10 of them up close & personal. This experience was initially a maybe but SO HAPPY we decided to do it. This is a MUST DO!

I can’t explain how cool this experience was. The mantra rays swam right up to us and actually brushed against me 4-5 times —simply awesome.
Nice experience in very friendly staff. I never swim in the ocean before, but the team made it so comfortable for me and he was a great experience.
They’re only about 10 places in the world where you can interact with manta rays like this. They are so close to you. They sometimes actually touch you. It’s like watching a magical ballet underwater. And the staff were fabulous. Very clear, helpful supportive because it is a little scary to be in the water in the dark. Would highly recommend it.
is a unique experience definitely worthy, the people was very nice and always willing to help. Instructions were clear
This was an exceptional experience. Seeing these beautiful creatures up close and personal was awesome. Our crew was fantastic, entertaining, helpful and informative, and even went the extra mile to try and give us a fishing experience on the way out to the spot with the manta rays. I was never nervous or afraid. We had young kids as well as adults and everyone loved the experience. Well worth the money. I would book with this company again.
