Do this tour! Amazing experience - It was spectacular to see these giant mantas swim right in front of my face. Trevor, Mitch and Diego took great care of us and ensured our safety as well as the safety of the Mantas. Do this tour!!! It was a small group and we were not overwhelmed with too many people in the water. We are so thrilled to have experienced being in the water with the mantas feeding on the plankton. Honestly, words cannot describe how incredible this experience was.

Fantastic snorkelers with mantas - Budda is absolutely amazing . A fun story teller. AND he is a manta ray magnet! We saw an amazing number of mantas up close and personal. Absolutely loved it. We will take family on this experience when they come to visit us on the island.

A truly awesome experience! Don’t miss this - The small group was worth the extra money times ten. This specific group knew how to make our experience the best I’ve had in all my world travels. Don’t miss this!!

An experience of a lifetime! - This is an experience of a lifetime! We got so lucky to see dolphins playing around where the manta rays are and having lots of manta rays that evening to the point they swam so close on our faces we can see the mouth and gills of the manta rays! The team was super professional very knowledgeable about Manta rays. Highly recommended!

Amazing trip - The manta rays came right up in front of us and did barrel rolls. You are NOT to touch them and I had to adjust away because it seemed they got that close. An AMAZING experience. Travis, Mitch, Diego and Inmae were outstanding. Thanks for sharing the videos.

Your on your own - Boat was very bumpy ,not organized and crew seemed like they rather be home then doing this “tour” ..almost fell off hard ladder trying to get out of the water from the ocean back up to boat ..crew seemed more concerned about pool noodle then helping customers safely aboard ..never got our hot chocolate too that was supposed to be included …

Nice mantas but rough surf - We did see manta rays which are without question absolutely beautiful. So that's a plus. However, the trip on the whole was not good. The surf was very rough so swimming to and from the float was difficult, and floating in heavy swells was sketchy. I'm a good swimmer but I was really concerned about some of the other people, including little kids. I'd say at least half the boat got very seasick, including myself. Yes, I know, the tour company does not control the weather or the seas. But I do recommend folks check the surf reports and maybe consider taking some kind of non-drowsy motion sickness pill before going out. Or pick a snorkel site that is more protected, in calmer waters. The boat crew did their best, so I'm not blaming them.
