Amazing Experience! - It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! We saw numerous manta rays swim beneath us throughout the night. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and inclusive. They kept everyone safe. The cookies and hot chocolate at the end were a nice touch.

Great Manta Ray snorkel - We had a great time doing the Manta Ray night snorkel. The night we went was exceptionally good and we saw 12 different mantas. The location was easy to find (right by the Outrigger hotel), had a very short boat ride to location (maybe 5 minutes), and the staff were very kind and helpful.

What a unique and immersive experience - What a great experience! We went at 7:15 on a calm water night. We saw SO many mantas! Our crew was knowledgeable and excellent. Didn't bring a camera so we could be immersed in the experience. The mantas were swarming our light board all night. So many to look at, at least 20 different mantas continually came to see us. Great experience with Sea Quest Would use them for another tour in the future. Well run, streamlined and efficient.

An absolute highlight in Kona, Hawaii - This experience blew away my expectations. I thought I was going to see the Manta Rays, but I wasn't expecting to see them right in front of my face. Their size and unique shape makes them beautiful creatures. Thanks to the crew, I learned few facts about them (like how the spots on their "belly" is unique to each Manta Ray). It was by far the highlight of my trip to Hawaii, especially that we were lucky with the 10 Manta Rays that "interacted" with us while they were eating the planktons.

Most amazing experience! - Amazing! The crew is absolutely incredible. So much knowledge, so much fun! MJ and Ryan were the best! We did the morning snorkel and saw 3 pods of dolphins and our night manta swim we saw dozens! We would not pick another spot to go. Seaquest is the best!

Best experience in all Hawaii - Unbelievable! Best thing we did in all of Hawaii. It is a memory you will cherish the rest of your life. To see these gentle giants in a feeding frenzy just inches from you: WOW!. We must have been swiped by these mammoths 100 times, no exaggeration. Marlene and all the guides were fantastic. Very helpful , safe, and knowledgeable. She even knew the names of some of the mantas.
Do it, a must.
