Don’t trust this company with your hard earned money. They won’t refund 300 dollars for a tour I never got the opportunity to take

Great experience. Saw so many manta rays so close up and one even bumped me mid barrel roll. Crew was helpful and knowledgeable. Hot drinks and soup were a nice bonus.
Was glad to have splurged for this tour as it was one of the few on a more stable catamaran, so my family didn't get sick like they would on the other smaller boats that were getting knocked around in the waves.

This is an amazing experience not to be missed. We saw lots of mantas and are so glad we went! I think if you were to pick one activity while on the Big Island, this should be the one. It's so unique and just incredible.
