Traveler reviews
Cool experience, rough conditions
The catamaran used for the manta ray snorkeling is beautiful and we saw several manta rays. That said, we went on a very choppy evening which I would not recommend. I feel the guides could have done a better job explaining the conditions and also sharing more facts and information about the Manta Rays and other fish we were seeing. I ended up listening to the guide for the boat next to ours to learn about Mantas. All in all, it was fun but some of the other companies were more knowledgeable and better prepared for the conditions.
Worth of experience!!!
Very touching experience! Everything from the reception, guidance, guides and at the end the dance of a large group of beautiful mantas! Go for it, you won’t be sorry.
I will keep it short
Trash from beginning to end. 10/10 do not recommend.
Shouldn’t have been there
Didn’t see any manta ray. Quite casual and messy management for wetsuit changing and everything. All the shoes were left on the land unattended, and got wet because of the rain. Minimum management of storage…
Great experience; 100% recommend!
This was a huge highlight of our trip to the Big Island. This tour was reasonably priced, just the right length, and a ton of fun. In addition, the guides kept us well entertained with lessons on the manta rays and local customs. One guide even performed a chant for us, which was beautiful. The boat was at full capacity but still comfortable. We were able to move around as needed, and if you stay at the back of the boat, you'll be first in the water and last out of the water, thereby making the most of your manta ray time. I haven't been on any other manta ray snorkel cruises, but I can't fathom anyone else doing this better. My experience with Sea Paradise was perfect.
