This company is amazing! They focus on safety, comfort, and put so much energy into helping their guests see Mantas! They even helped less experienced snorkelers get in the water to see the Mantas. Captain Bill kept us safe and helped us find the Mantas. We were the fourth boat to arrive and about the last to leave (after a spectacular show by our Manta). She was inches from our face and her barrel- rolls were breathtaking. Drew was so positive and was cracking his manta jokes the entire time - he made the trip so fun. Sam gave us a great introduction into the life of Manta Rays. This crew is top notch - they care about their guests, the Mantas, and the ocean!

Shoutout to Drew and Karen for being super friendly and amazing guides. Truly an amazing experience. If Drew or Karen ever come to Oahu ask for Bear at Kailua beach adventures and I’ll take care of you guys.

The crew was great, put we didn’t see any Manta Ray. The sea was rough and we floated in the cold water for about an hour. Sam the deck hand offered another trip,but NO vouchers were issued to any participants or refund. The Captain of the boat bragged on how he has the best lights out of any crew(boat) and still saw not even 1 Manta Ray! Several people got sea sick as well. Including my wife.. This was the worst part of our vacation.. Would I do it again?

Such a horrible experience! We booked from Viator and got confirmation email. Went straight to the harbor and showed them the pass. The lady refused to get us on board as she couldn’t find our reservation on her phone. She kept saying they were all booked full till Jan 2nd. We were left in a dilemma and this totally disrupted our schedule. We wasted almost four hours figuring out why this can happen and it finally turned out to be a “refund”. No solutions were given except a refund. If “refund” can help, can they “refund” our time? We only stay in the big island for two nights and this totally destroyed our expectation. Super disappointed and upset!

Capt Bii, Sam & Katen were amazing! Safety first! And us having a great manta experience were their priorities. So professional, experienced, & very nice crew! Saw about 6 mantas rolling & floating so close by us- it was breath-taking! A must do on your list for Kona! ??????
