Exceptional experience!

Exceptional experience! The two owners and their son made the tour so much fun and were incredibly attentive. You can tell they truly care about every guest. 11 of our group and 3 moms don't know how to swim. They take care of us and we all feel comfortable and enjoyed! Even when the tour ran overtime, they never rushed us back, they made sure everyone enjoyed every last minute. We saw so many manta rays and it was absolutely amazing! Their setup felt much more professional than other tours, especially the lights they use, which made the experience better. An unforgettable experience. Thank you so much for taking such great care of us! Mahalo!

Definitely worth going! Amazing crew!

My sister and I were so scared to go on this but Captain Kris and Elio (?) were amazing. They were very knowledgeable about the area and there were so many manta rays. They did say sometimes it’s rare to see none but we were lucky enough to not have that happen to us! They also gave us snacks at the end and drinks. They were incredibly kind and I highly recommend this to everyone. The small boat is perfect and I didn’t get sea sick. I would definitely tell you to go on this!!! Thank you again to Captain Kris!

Really Cool

An experience you shouldn’t miss. Kris and Elio(sp) are down to earth and made everyone very comfortable. Being inches from the Mantas is awe inspiring, they are beautiful and majestic.

A Night to Remember: Manta Rays, Sunsets, and Stars on the Big Island

What an absolutely unforgettable experience! Our manta ray excursion with Kris, Mary, and Ty was one of a kind — this is something everyone needs to experience at least once, and you want to do it with this crew specifically. They were exceptional hosts, and you could tell they're genuinely passionate about what they do, not just going through the motions. The boat ride out was stunning on its own — watching the sunset as we made our way to the manta spot was a must-see moment before the main event even started. And then the mantas actually showed up! Getting to see them up close was pure magic. The ride back to the dock was just as memorable — under a dark sky blanketed with stars and the moon, it felt like the perfect end to an already amazing night. We'll definitely be booking with Kris, Mary, and Ty again next time we're on the Big Island. Can't recommend them enough. I actually shared with a family I met on the beach today and hope they do it before they leave. I can’t stop talking about it🤗❤️❤️❤️

This tour was awesome!...

This tour was awesome! Captain Kris and his team did an outstanding job. They were attentive and made sure everybody was comfortable in the water. They only do one tour a night so we didn’t feel rushed and got to really enjoy the experience. This specific tour was also great for kids, they set our 5yo up on the board so that she could enjoy the experience along side us. Would definitely recommend this tour!
