A night with the Manta Rays - Take a dramamine if you get seasick because the waters can be choppy. The staff was awesome and very helpful. Even those who are not experienced swimmers ,the staff was able to assist and guide us to the boat and plank . They provide you a swim wet top, life vest and snorkel and there are noodles to use as well.

Ula and Danny were our... - Ula and Danny were our guides. The experience overall was amazing a definitely must if on the big island. They both are very knowledgeable and would 10/10 do this experience again. Definitely recommend do a later time than earlier to get the best experience. At one point the there was 6 mantra rays swimming below us. Several times they swam right past my face under the light. It’s a must do.

Once in a lifetime experience - Captain Bryce and the crew mates were amazing and made the experience very enjoyable. The first location we visited was unsuccessful and I had my hopes down, however after we boated over to the second location the mantas were everywhere! Was definitely one of the coolest things I’ve ever done and a once in a lifetime experience. Additionally they had go pros for rent there, I brought my own, however I would highly recommend you get one to capture the experience. I will definitely come again if I ever revisit the islands in the future.

Definitely go see the manta rays - Crew was awesome, very hospitable, gave us snacks and drinks and a warm shower afterwards although it was not too cold . Very safe and fun. Definitely rent or bring a go pro it is sooooo worth it. We saw lots of manta rays and they came so close, even brushing up against us a couple times. It was amazing and the boat ride was a lot of fun.

Not for those with Motion Sickness Issues! - Worst experience I had in Hawaii! Captain floored it out to the bay, people were literally flying out of their seats. Captain was seen texting while steering with his FEET. Within 30 seconds of stopping, I was chumming the water. Ocean was super choppy and there were probably 6 other boats there doing the same thing. No head count was taken as 40+ people were told to get in and swim to the floatation device. I was eventually forced to get in the water, while still barfing, where I continued to dry heave, and eventually was told to just ‘float away from everyone’, I guess so I couldn’t ruin anyone’s good experience by being barfed on. I was the last one in the water while the crew repeated “you need to get out of the water, ma’am” over and over without offering any assistance, like maybe a hand getting out of the water or at least grabbing the equipment I had with me. Makes me furious to know I paid for this terrible experience.
Oh, yea, the mantas were cool, once you look past how unorganized and unsafe this is.
