Amazing experience but not for everyone (especially kids!) - this is an absolutely incredible experience. Life changing, beautiful in every way. However this is not an appropriate experience for kids or anyone who is not a VERY strong swimmer. The ocean was incredibly choppy and there is no way this is safe for kids or anyone not super strong in the water

Absolutely amazing... - Absolutely amazing experience! These animals are breathtaking, and being so close to them was incredible. The tour was very smooth, directions easy to follow, and the guides were so kind and helpful! Only negative thing was that it had to end, and we couldn’t stay in the water!

fun. Well managed experience - Awesome experience!! Short boat ride which is great because when you are done you want to be done. We saw a ton of manta rays really close up. We got the 7:00pm time slot.checkin is at 7:00 at their office then a short car ride to the location. You are on the boat by 8:00. Bring a change of clothes afterwards.

Amazing experience - The guides were excellent, very knowledgeable and kind. We didn’t know what to expect on a night excursion, but my entire family felt safe, including younger kids. Amazing experience, the rays get so close. Better than we ever expected!

Great experience with Dolphin discovery - The crew was incredibly professional and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. A huge shoutout to Shelly, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. Her caring and helpful attitude truly stood out, especially when she took extra time to assist those who were a bit nervous.

Manta Rays Snorkel - Dolphin Discoveries was a great boat to be on. Jenny was a great water guide. We saw many manta rays within mins of being out there. It was a little rough ( ocean waves) but it was safe. I got so many great pictures and videos.

Soooooooo good - Soooooo worth it!!!! Kailey (?) I think was her name—she had red hair—was so knowledgeable and answered all of my questions about these amazing gentle creatures. Definitely recommend getting out on an earlier tour if you can, the 5pm slot was so nice to see the sunset. I’ll never forget this experience!!! 100% recommend. I wish it was longer, I just wanted to spend all day swimming with and learning about the mantas.
