Unforgettable night in Kona

Absolutely unforgettable experience! The crew was professional, safe, and so knowledgeable about the manta rays. We saw multiple mantas close up and it was pure magic. One of the best experiences of our Hawaii trip! From check-in to getting back on the boat, everything was seamless. Micah,Taco, and , Kia really took good care of us. They were very courteous, friendly, engaging and really passionate about their job. We are very happy that we choice their company over the others

Worst Night Ever!

Me and my husband were so excited to go on this since we had heard so many amazing things about swimming with the manta rays. I would never book through this company ever again. They took as to a spot where you could barely see the manta rays because there was so much algae. We only saw 2 and they were at the very bottom and were really easy to miss. If that wasn't disappointing enough we both got stung my micro jellyfish. I then had a allergic reaction to it and the tour guides did not do anything about it. They just told me that they could not see the sting so I would be fine. This was not true I got stung in the face and it was clear and could see go down my neck. They were very rude, and did not offer any refund or help with this situation. I was very disappointed. Do not book through them.

Wonderful experience!

Great experience and well worth the money and 45 minute drive from where we were staying. Our captains/guides (Taco, Fischer and Ashland) were professional., super friendly and made us feel safe in their hands the entire time. Would definitely recommend as it was the highlight of our Big Island vacation.

Exhilarating experience!

Max, Taco and Koa were great guides! Their jokes helped set everyone at ease and they made sure we had everything we needed for a fun and safe snorkel! We had an amazing time and saw around 10 rays. They even swam right up against us! Thanks for a great time!

Great time. Worth every penny

Absolutely amazing to be able to see these creatures up close. Our guides were engaging and funny. They provided useful information when asked and kept everyone engaged while waiting for the manta rays to make an appearance. About 4-5 large rays were seen. 2 rays came so close their fins made contact. Will do it again.
