Awesome adventure! - This was an awesome experience, but participants should be strong swimmers, know how to use mask and snorkel, not be afraid of swimming in dark water and comfortable on boats in rough water. Our group was fine and we had a blast! The manta rays are amazing creatures and so exciting to watch. We were supplied with wet suit tops which was good as it was a little chilly in the water. Our arms got really tired holding onto the light frame but it was an exhilarating experience. Elele(?) and Toby were excellent with lots of interesting facts and sharp wit. It was a very memorable event and one of the highlights of our trip.

Snorkeling w/ the gentle manties - Captain Bryce and crew mate Molana were wonderful! They were both super welcoming, funny, and knowledgeable. The water was perfect, not too cold. I was a bit nervous going into this but once in the water, and seeing these beautiful gentle giants took all the nerves away. The largest female captivated us all, coming inches from our faces and bodies, doing flips and swimming so gently around us. Then comes 5 others showing us all how beautiful they are.
I got a bit sea sick on the way back, water was choppy and rough but we all made it back safely.
Highly recommend this… I will definitely do it again!

Aloha from San Diego - Loved every second of this adventure. We saw at least 20 Manta Rays, they come up close and personal and it’s just something truly spectacular to behold. Bonus- I even saw 2 sharks!

A must in Kona - Was an incredible experience to see such beautiful majestic creatures. They get so close to you. We got lucky and got to see over 8 rays which is above average of tje amount you see. The guys on the boat were super sweet and laid back.
Was a little tricky to get to the meet up spot, they meet up by a oublic bathroom with a red roof but there are two bathrooms in the harbor and with it being dark hard to see roof color. But other than that it was incredible

Really enjoyable but safety very concerning - Really looking forward to this activity. The tour promised what would be delivered, up close and personal with manta rays. Organisation was good and efficient in getting people to the activity. My one major concern was safety. It was dark, the water was very choppy and no one was given any life jackets. I could see tragedy happening under this scenario and my friend did not feel comfortable entering the water without a life jacket. One was provided for him though. There was a type of life jacket available in the event of an emergency during the initial debriefing but not for the activity. Very concerning!
