Manta ray Viewing in Hawaii - a Peak Experience with Sublime Crew - A once-in-a-lifetime adventure made all the better by a top-notch crew from greeting on land to boarding, to sunset sailing, to Manta ray snorkeling. Really first rate.

Memorable Excursion - Aloha this was a great experience from start to finish. We were thankful for the wet suit tops that were provided. I was nervous to enter the Pacific at night, but the crew eased my concerns. We were in the water for nearly an hour and saw three manta rays. They did belly rolls in front of use gently brushing us. The crew was knowledgeable and helpful especially when I had a bad snorkel. The hot coco was appreciated. Remember to bring a sweatshirt for the ride back. Mahalo Kona Style for another Hawaiian memory

Words CANNOT do this justice! - This was, BY FAR, our favorite adventure on Big Island. The price seemed high at first, but we took a chance based off of many recommendations and it was well worth it. The boat ride took about 30 minutes to the dive site, and we saw a couple of whale tail thrashing in the ocean on our way out; LUCKY BONUS! The crew gave detailed instructions and very useful tips on how to enjoy our visit with the manta rays. But nothing you can imagine prepares you for something like this: we were unaccustomed to snorkeling yet even seasoned snorkelers said their experience was amazing. The mantas LITERALLY feed right in front of you. They came as close as an inch away, and even brushed against my wife as they glided through the water... SEVERAL TIMES. They did loop-de-loops, left, and returned for more. And I swear they made eye contact as they passed by; magical/spiritual. 12/10 - no notes.

Excellent experience - This was such a great experience. It's a little expensive, but it seemed worth it over some of the cheaper alternatives. You get a sunset cruise with drinks included (alcohol extra). We were in the water for almost an hour and had an amazing time. We saw a manta ray within the first couple of minutes while it was still light out right after sunset. It was quite the show and saw many mantas up close. Shout out to the crew Tanner, Doug, Bart, Trex, and Keawe. They were very knowledgeable, friendly and provided excellent service.

Great experience - Comfortable boat and attentive crew. Greatly appreciated the wet suit jacket - helped with the cool water. We saw a lot of Mantas up close and personal. It was a great experience.

Magical! - Sunset Manta Ray cruise. Me and my little one were "blessed" by the mantas. Truly a magical once-in-a-lifetime experience you should not hesitate to book. Crew were fantastic, captain was skilled and personable- always felt safe, and the mantas did not disappoint!

Unreal experience - From beginning to end, these guys were amazing. After a quick safety brief, we sailed down to the viewing area to get suited up for the show. It took about 10 minutes in the water before they showed. Four big girls swam within inches of us repeatedly. Make sure to bring a sweatshirt for the ride back because it gets cold out there. We would definitely use these guys again. Thanks

Too many distractions - The crew had to deal with an alcoholic couple, entitled people that struggled with following the rules. Those distractions caused the crew to overlook the rest of us.
