What an amazing experience. It was definitely something I will cherish for the rest of my life. Everybody was great from the captain and lifeguard to the equipment guy. Daevon is the man! Everyone was professional and made it really fun. And safe. Thank you!

An absolutely unforgettable manta ray night snorkel experience! This tour is 100% worth it. During the night snorkel, you can see the giant manta rays swimming incredibly close to your face — it’s truly breathtaking. Touching the manta rays is strictly not allowed, and the staff clearly explain the rules to protect them, which made the experience feel very responsible and safe. We were lucky to encounter four manta rays, and they were curious and playful, constantly swimming around us. Seeing them glide so gracefully up close was an amazing experience. The tour is very safe, even for non-swimmers. Everyone stays connected to a floating board, and the guides provide clear instructions and explanations throughout the entire experience. Plus, riding the boat at night with the ocean breeze and stars above adds another magical layer to the tour. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a close encounter with marine life in a safe and well-organized setting!

The check in guide Deavon was very helpful in getting everyone set up with gear for their experience. He was clear in explaining instructions and what to expect. The dive crew was helpful, funny and knowledgeable about the Manta’s which made the experience amazing!

Deavon helped us book our night manta ready tour and was very responsive via text and call. We had an amazing experience, words are hard to describe it.... You've just got to see it. Any tour company out of the harbor goes to the same spot I believe and all link up to make your experience memorable

Deavon was great! We were a little nervous at first but they made us feel totally comfortable. Incredible tour, gorgeous manta rays and it was totally ethical.

Super friendly crew. Mahena was able to put us right above feeding Manta rays. Would recommend using a wet suit jacket that they offer. There were 7 in our group and everyone loved it. Sorry Mahena if I spelled your name wrong.

Had such an amazing experience was a great tour and the guides were awesome full of knowledge of the sea ! Reasonably Priced compared to others. Saw the most manta rays out of the week they said so it was definitely worth it !!! Super helpful with my dad & his health was greatly appreciated ... For all others wondering this particular tour goes out on a small little raft-like boat may be harder to get in and out of for larger or older people ! I recommend life vest $10, the wetsuit top $10 & gopros $40-$80 , They also have perscription goggles available !!! 👌👌👌 Thank You Guys Again ! MAHALO ! 🌸🌸🌸

This was an amazing experience. The short boat ride was perfect and we could get into the water right away. The guides were knowledgeable and a lot of fun.
