    Very friendly and entertaining staff! Snorkeling with manta rays and bonus dolphins was a sensational experience, will definitely recommend to anyone. The whole crew was very accommodating
    Unforgettable experience with mantas
    Dakota_S, Apr 2024
    Noel & team provided a fun atmosphere in the boat and made the overall experience feel safe and simple. In the water, the mantas are much bigger and closer than I expected, but that made the experience even more incredible.
    If you do ONE thing in Hawaii - make it this!
    Kylee_M, Apr 2024
    INCREDIBLE! This experience was recommended to us by a couple of friends and I'm so happy we did it! On the tour were my husband, parents and I (group of 4). The size of the full group was about 20 people and there was plenty of room in the water and we never felt crowded. The crew was very knowledgeable and always attentive. They were always checking in with us to make sure we were happy and even came in the water with us. The tour goes a little later than others so by the time we got to the spot we had it almost all to ourselves!! Seeing these incredible animals in person was unbelievable! This was a life highlight and I will for sure do it again next time I am on the island!! 12/10 review!! If I could give 1,000 stars I would! Thank you all for such an amazing night!
    Great time, highly recommended!
    Lee_P, Apr 2024
    The captain and crew made this a wonderful experience, very fun and safety minded. Seeing the manta rays up close was just phenomenal, there is never a dull moment. The adventure was better than I had expected. I would highly recommend it, I would do it again.
    Amazing

    Amazing Experience! Great crew!
    Matthew_R, Apr 2024
    An amazing experience with the Mantas and with a great crew! We had a big party (5 adults, 3 children) and Nolan and Ileo did a great job taking care of us. We would recommend them to anyone looking to swim with the Mantas!
    Highly recommended
    Dylan_W, Mar 2024
    Amazing experience seeing the Manta Rays! These guys did a great job of taking care of us. They were entertaining and helpful every step of the why. This seemed like a good boat/group size (~22 people) for the experience. I would use them again next time.
    Yes, do it
    Cedric_M, Mar 2024
    Noland and IKEA were terrific guides. Lots of fun! Pack a towel and a sweatshirt! Viator wants me to write more words here.
    Must do!
    Kristen_D, Mar 2024
    This was a once in a lifetime experience! A must do!! The guides were helpful, personable and funny!
    What an amazing time!
    Kaelina_H, Mar 2024
    Our snorkelling trip was amazing thanks to our awesome tour guides. They were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We didn’t have much luck with the mantas at our first location but they took us to a secondary location to make sure we got to see the manta rays. I was a little nervous before the tour but the guides were super organized and made us all feel super safe and comfortable while snorkelling. 100% would recommend these guys!
    Manta Ray greatness

    Mother Nature takes her own time. Great ride!
    Tanya_K, Jan 2024
    Our team, Nolan and Ileo, were great. Mother nature had other plans for the evening so we didnt get to see anything, but that happens. There was no luck on any boat that went out. We were still given a full refund and had fun anyways. Nolan and Ileo were knowledgeable and fun. We will try again in the summer
    Nice but short
    Yuchen_D, Dec 2023
    Nice experience but the duration is only a little pass an hour instead of the advertised 2 and half hours
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    Aloha, I apologize if you didn't have enough time in the water. We have two sites that we visit: one in the north, which is only 10 minutes away, and another in the south, which is 25 to 30 minutes away. However, our aim is to allow people to spend 45+ minutes in the water. I will be more than happy to accommodate you again so you get more time with Mantas at no charge. Just call my office and hopefully, you are still in town. I will take you back out again. Mahalo
    Leo and Bryce were great...
    Alessandro_C, Dec 2023
    Leo and Bryce were great fun and the activity was perfect! Highly recommended even w kids, we were out for about 1.5h and it was more than enough
