The boat crew was totally focused on safety and ensuring the guest had a great experience. The crew was so effective with getting manta rays to our boat other boats moved their customers over and linked to us to see the manta rays. The boat captain is a marine biologist and he taught us about manta rays and other sealife in the area. All crew members were very friendly and helpful.. T strongly recommend Bite Me Manat Ray tour.

This trip was amazing!! The crew was super accommodating and incredibly friendly! I was a bit nervous going on this trip as a plus-size person, but I felt welcomed and included the entire time. The experience was breathtaking!! Definitely do this if you're even considering it.

The staff was nice, informative, funny and kind. The experience though was beyond amazing! One of the most magical experiences of mine and my daughter’s lives. Sea sickness is a real thing, so prepare yourself if you are prone to it.

We saw Mantas within 2 minutes of entering the water. They stuck with us the whole time in the water. The crew was fun and knowledgeable! Treated my wife and kids great and the kids could only talk about the mantas for the rest of the trip!

Rory and his crew went above and beyond to help my parents’ anxiety and were thoughtfully attentive to all passengers! Loved hearing Manta Ray info, it helped ease my nerves about being so close to these massive creatures! My fear turned to awe and admiration for these magnificent, graceful creatures! Thank you Viator and Ocean Excursions for an unforgettable experience!!!
