Amazing Experience

This was an amazing experience and did NOT disappoint. These are truly majestic, gentle creatures and I am grateful to have seen this. Our crew was excellent and were knowledgeable abt the rays. It was apparent they had great respect and cared abt the well-being of these creatures.

Must Do!

If you are worried about it being in the ocean at night I promise it isn’t bad. The light that attracts the plankton is bright and you can see the ocean floor. If you are thinking about recording I would suggest something that attaches to your head. Two hands on the lights will help keep you from being pushed all over from the waves. This was seriously the most amazing thing I have ever done. I couldn’t recommend it more. The staff was super knowledgeable and made me feel safe as well. I will be doing this again.

Incredible Manta Ray Experience

Captain Mike and his crew provided an absolute 5-star experience! Parking on the side of the road was easy, and the boat ride out was short and smooth. You don’t have to be an expert swimmer to enjoy this; you just need to be comfortable in snorkel gear. We spent a full 30 minutes floating with three amazing manta rays that swam right up to us. Make sure to bring a waterproof camera!
