Perfect trip! - Our trip was amazing. This tour company is fantastic! It was very well organized. Our boat size was small, which we really liked, they took us right to the rays and they were breathtaking!

Loved it - Went solo and enjoyed every minute of it! Peyton and the staff were super attentive and informative, we got to see sooo many manta rays!! I was panicking at first when it got to getting into the water and when the manta rays came closer but I LOVED IT and plan on doing it again if I ever come back to the big island. Thank you so much ! Wish I could book again before leaving :’(

Incredible manta ray tour! Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! - My husband and I had a great experience on this tour. I’m not very good at swimming and was a little nervous, but Taco was extremely helpful. We saw many manta rays and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Taco and the crew were very friendly, and I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Once in a lifetime memory - Amazing crew! The owners were there and you could tell they really cared about your experience. We got to see 5 different manta rays and even a male! The boat crew took really great care of us and would definitely go back. No much room on the boat for personal items so please leave those behind.

Must check this off your bucket list! - I went with four friends on the night time Manta ray swim. Everyone was friendly and processional. The communication from the company was great. We knew exactly what to bring and where to go. The raft ride was short and we were in the water quickly. I saw a manta ray immediately and after a while, we all saw mantas and had them bumping us. It was amazing! 🤩 Peyton was our guide and Mike was our captain. They were funny, friendly and informative. Just an overall good experience. Would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend! - This was the most magical experience ever! We got to see these beautiful gentle giants who come kissing distance to you. I was blessed to be grazed by a mantas fin on my stomach. My boyfriend and I laughed as they came right up under our faces. The guides were amazing and so friendly. Highly recommend if you are comfortable in the ocean and around sea creatures. This is all we talked about for the whole trip! It was our favorite moment. I highly respect the staff as they taught us about the mantas and what to do to keep us and the mantas safe in their natural habitat.

Many Rays - Once in a lifetime to see these great sea creatures!! We saw many rays close up and personal, within inches of us. The only drawback was the water was pretty rough that night and other companies canceled due to this. Taco and Fisher were great!! Safety was a top priority with them!! Taco was with us in the water and gave us a lesson on the rays
