Awesome experience! - This experience was even better than I expected with the amount of manta rays that we saw and how close they come to you. The crew was very helpful and friendly and the boat ride was fun too.

Awe inspiring. Breathtaking. Unforgettable - Unbelievable. The best time to go is 9:30 pm. We had no other boats to compete with and we had soo many Manta Rays swimming right under us . It is shocking how close they come to you. Bring warm clothes to wear back because you will be shivering.

So Happy we did this! - The staff was GREAT! The one who orientated us was very good in giving us all the basics and he was very, very funny! He was also very good with kids. He quickly created a relaxed, warm environment. Everyone of the crew was GREAT! Highly recommend this. Definitely a highlight of our visit to the island of Hawaii!

Fantastic!!! - Such an amazing experience. Our boat Captain, Kelly and his crew were great. They gave us a lot of information which was delivered with a lot of humor. That added to the fun of the trip. They were very thorough with the instructions for what to do in the water and made sure everyone was comfortable. One of my family members had decided she was too anxious to participate. They convinced her to try it just for a few minutes. She was so glad she did. They made sure she was comfortable and felt safe the whole time. When she was done, one of the crew escorted her back to the boat. We saw about two manta rays at first and then more started wandering over. At one point we had about 6-8 swimming under us. So COOL!
