The only company to choose and the best excursion! - This is a MUST! Such an amazing experience! The team was fabulous! We learned so much and saw so many Rays! They came so close but it was not scary At All. Gentle giants swimming gracefully. Would do this over and over again! Best company to go with! Just the right size group. Easy boat ride. So much fun!

Snorkeling with Manta Ray's - Staff were very professional and courteous. There were a bunch of Manta Ray's that were right under us! One of them actually brushed against my friend. It was so amazing!

Amazing trip - I went with Jacob, Fisher and John and it was a blast. Manta rays were already there waiting to perform as soon as we got in the water. There were maybe 9-10 of them just barreling and feeding, some of them were really big (in the 7-8 feet range) and some of them were more shy and stayed at the bottom. It was good to see a mixture of both. I got brushed against by a few of them every now and then, they were super friendly. I brought my own 3mm wetsuit to stay warm and it was a good move. If you get cold easily you may want to rent at least the top from them. Your arms may get really tired from holding on to the floatie so be prepared.

Gonna’ dream about rays. - Very friendly and efficient set up. You could tell the outfit has been doing this awhile. We were on the 8:40 tour & saw up to 6 manta rays at once swirling around eating plankton. My husband said he felt one graze his stomach! Truly unforgettable. I have 2 teens that are familiar with snorkeling so using the equipment and being able to hold the flat position in the water wasn’t a problem. ( If you or your child isn’t comfortable with snorkel gear or may panic with the rays so near, this may not be for you as a panicked person would certainly ruin the experience for the entire group be scaring the rays away. Renting a wet suit was helpful ( $10 at check in) and kept me plenty warm. I think we will dream of rays for a long time.

Manta ray tour - It was super cool to see the manta rays in the water it’s just not much time you get in the water at approximately 20 minutes. If it was more time I would rate 5 stars.
