Must do! - This was by far one of the most magical opportunities we have had to experience in our lives! As Hawaii residents, we appreciated the small group sizes, the great customer service with Groupon bookings, the no-frills approach, and it being locally/veteran owned. Will and Captain Ray were great, but Takeo our guide was the standout! He knew SO MUCH information on the specific mantas we swam with making it feel ask the more special. Highly recommend!

10/10, You need to do this! - Such an awesome experience! The crew was incredibly kind, informative, and helpful. I was nervous once I got into the boat and we began heading into the water, however the crew did a fantastic job of walking us all through what to expect. The manta rays were so majestic and got so close to us! 10/10 experience. Definitely recommend!

Late Night Cool Excursion - It was such a great experience! Will, Patrick, Peyton and Capt were amazing! Very chill crew with expertise on seeing those mantas! Got to see 4 of the women gendered rays and three brushed up against me! Definitely would recommend! Get in the water- don’t stay on the boat!

We had a great time!... - We had a great time! Preston, Eden, and Mike took us out on the boat. At first, we were a bit nervous to be going out into the ocean in the night, but it was very easy and manageable. We were fortunate enough to have the rays come by us a few times - a once in a lifetime experience. Definitely worth it!

Worth doing - We did see mantas. The staff were friendly, and the boat ride was very short. We were asked about leaving a review 11 times that I counted which was a bit annoying after the second/third time. I don’t think we were actually in the water 30 minutes, though. I selected this particular company because of the limited number of participants, but we were in the same spot as the larger groups. We hooked up with another company once in the water that had lights as well, and once they left our light seemed very dim, and no more mantas came to us. Someone mentioned getting a bigger light, and that’s when the guide said it was time to leave. Overall, a good experience, and I suggest getting near the end of the light board to see better and make sure you bring a towel to dry off.

Snorkel - This was a super fun experience. Only about 30 minutes of actually viewing. Wet suits available to rent for $10 but you can go in and be ok. It is cold at night but so worth it. Must be able to swim well.

They just took my $. - I booked a tour two weeks in advance, and was never sent directions to the place to go. I called three times and my phone calls were not returned. When I finely got an address from them it did not leave me enough time to get there in time. And I lost my $.
