The whole experience was amazing. All the staff there are very helpful, and passionate. Especially thanks to Treu, Nick, and Diego. I think they differently make our experience better. Because my boyfriend is very afraid of ocean, and do not know how to swim. By the time when we go in to the ocean, Nick was there to protect him the whole time. Provide a special “uber” for him. Bring him from the boat to the float. They even provide hot chocolate after the snorkeling, which is amazing. Overall i recommend this trip, and very thanks to our guides Treu, Nick, and Diego!
Trav, Nick, Maddy and Diego were amazing. The experience is unforgettable. I’d do it all over again.
This was amazing!!! I would highly recommend this experience.
This was just super cool!!! A must do excursion! I mean it was just so wonderful to see it all and see all of the cool things!
You’re going to have a blast. From check-in to tour to return this was fun. Thank you to Captain Mitch, Madi, Eric, and Tamae who all contributed to a wonderful ride. The Manta Rays are up close and stunning - really it’s something I’ll never forget! Crew offered refreshments and snacks post snorkel. They welcomed all with a fun casual experience, music on the ride, and direction.
Great hospitality provided by the crew , the captain. We thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed the experience of night snorkeling with the manta rays. And we saw at times 5 of them doing barrel rolls inches away from us. Just a special and spectacular night, and to add the night sky view of the stars.
It was a lot of fun. We loved snorkelingwith the manta rays!. The crew was awesome with the kids, ages 5 and 8. We highly recommend this tour!
Beat snorkel experience of all time! The Mantas are so beautiful. Our guides were great. We saw other parties in the same area and were concerned that it would be overcrowded. Not the case! The mantas really put on a show! We linked up to another group and provided more light and thus more plankton to attract the Mantas. We did not expect the Mantas to get as close as they did. They came within inches of our faces. Doing barrel rolls and enjoying their feeding. Maybe 6-7 in total. Nice that videos were included in the original price. They appreciate tips which we were happy to give. They provided the most memorable experience for our family of Hawaii. Do not hesitate to book!
This was our 4th time doing the Manta night snorkel in Kona(all with different companies)....while we had a good time....there are better excursion providers...first thier website is kinda confusing....we thought we had paid for a complete snorkel....we arrived..said that we had only paid for a ride along...cost us $25 more per person....not the end of the world...also they charge $10 rental fee for wet suits (every other vendor we have used.... wet suit usage is free of charge)....again not the end of the world...luckily the water was warm enough we just used our rash shirts....if this is your only option (not terrible)..if you have time.....shop around ...ALOHA
Bryce, Diego and the whole crew were fantastic. We learned a lot about manta rays and it was fun to see them up close. Our group had a pretty big age range, from young kids to grandma, and we all enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend this tour and these guides.
