experienced In-water swim guide, Captain & Lifeguard are stationed at the viewing site, with light board, underwater dive lights, & Manta Rays anticipating your arrival.

great manta experience thaat even the indifferent crew couldn't ruin. tried 3 different wetsuits on me of which none fit. I'm 5'8" 185lbs. Just handed me anything as if there were no sizes, didn't't know which zipped in the back or which in the front. almost knocked me overboard on the return trip by gunning the boat with no warning. and its only a few hundred yards to the dock so why even?! Will take a different one next time.

Experience of a lifetime. The Mantas are such magnificent creatures and come very close. Hunter and the crew made it fun and interesting.

Absolutely AMAZING!! I was nervous taking small children but Captain Hunter & his crew were fantastic with them! One of our littles were too scared to get in; Hunter and Shay kept her on the boat while still giving her the absolute best experience!

Hunter, Jordan, Shay and Mama Bear...took great care of us. Loved the night! So many fantastic manta rays! Easy 10 minute ride to the spot! Our boat had 12 people....easy on and off....great equipment and although not needed a wetsuit provided.
Don't use any other place!

I’ve snorkeled and dove many times, but never experienced anything as awesome as this. The 30 minutes of snorkel time with Manta Rays seemingly dancing only inches away from me was a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget.

I gave it 2 stars due to the briefing was a little confusing and not clear. None of us were provided wetsuits despite the contract clearly states "wetsuit provided".
