- We did the manta ray tour. The whole experience was outstanding, we couldn't be more pleased. The crew is super friendly and experienced, the rays treated us to the most amazing show, and when we got back on the boat warm beverages and snacks awaited us. Many thanks to Hawaii Marine Life Charters for an experience we won't soon forget!

Incredible Activity - A small operation with friendly staff. The water, sunset and manta rays are the same as larger boats so this offers a nice alternative m.

Perfect Manta experience - This was a once in a lifetime moment. We had a great service at the start with our wetsuits and snorkels for our 2 kiddos (5-7 yo) They were very helpfull and gave great explanation. We navigated out of the harbor into the sunset. Views were amazing, great service for a kid that was seasick in the company with ginger chews etc,... Then the main course was sooo great. Skye helped us swimming to the right spots where we saw several mantas doing the barrel rolls. I can only recommend this tour!! It was spot on!!!

Magnificent Manta Adventure - One a kind experience! I highly recommend that you book with these guys! Such a fun crew and they had everything we needed to have the best time. My gf had previously done a trip with them and we went back because they’re just that good! Thanks again Brian and Riley!

Rolling! - We went out with some others and before we could even get out of the boat Mantas were all over. We had so many that were inches away when they performed their rolls. The captain and Riley were both very nice and treated us great! Thanks for the great show.
