BEST BOAT COMPANY IN KONA!!!!!!! - 10/10 experience with incredible guides and attention to detail every step of the way! We honestly don’t have words to explain how amazing the experience was. Capt Mike and Rachel and the puppy dog made this the highlight experience of our whole trip to Hawaii!!!!! We did a private manta trip and were shocked by other boats putting 40-50 ppl in the water and not even paying attention to them. While we were taken care of every step of the way. Our 7 year old who was scared of the water even got to see the mantas come right up to him!!!!! Also the hot fresh water shower was luxurious. Torpedo tours is provides an intimate experience for an affordable price! Choose this company you won’t be sorry!!

Great experience with Torpedo Tours! - Outstanding experience...saw 10 Manta Rays doing barrel rolls...close enough to touch but you can't. Captain Mike did a great job of giving us an informational talk regarding these amazing graceful creatures. Anna took great care of us in the water and made sure none of us had difficulty getting back on the boat via a ladder. Highly recommend them...their passion for Manta Rays and personal attention to passengers is exceptional.

An island MUST!!! - We had a truly special evening with my nieces visiting from the mainland, and it was nothing short of magical. As island locals, we've been on many manta ray snorkels over the years—but Torpedo continues to be our top choice. Their crew is not only professional and safety-focused but also incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating and little-known facts about these butterflies of the ocean that even we hadn’t heard before. What really sets Torpedo apart is the small group size. It makes the experience more personal, relaxed, and immersive—perfect for connecting with the ocean and the incredible manta rays up close. If you're looking to create unforgettable memories, this is the adventure to choose. I can’t recommend Torpedo highly enough—it’s a must-do for both visitors and locals!

Adventure and Magic await! - Our family of 4 had an amazing adventure with Torpedo Tours on the evening manta tour! It was a wild night - a bit rough water but the crew was calm and attentive. We were treated with seeing so many mantas - had at least 5 flipping underneath us at one time. Anna and Eden were a lot of fun, knowledgable and showed leadership and confidence. A magical experience! Only regret was that we didn't bring a camera!

Manta night dive is a must do - We enjoyed this dive immensely and would love to do it again. The dive guide taught us some cool manta facts and we got to see Sandy the manta up close. So amazing. Wish we could have stayed down longer!

A fantastic family experience - We went as a family of five aged 17 to 70. It was a great experience. The set up, snorkelling holding on to a raft, felt secure. I was nervous getting in the water and they managed me very well. Then the manta rays were fantastic. Nature is not predictable and I cannot imagine it getting better than what we experienced tonight. Rays swimming loop the loop many times beneath us. Because of the way it was set up we could see them clearly in the light. Don’t forget, these are wild animals and are attracted to the lights because plankton are drawn to light, and the rays feed on plankton. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for this experience
