Amazing

Mantas came as soon as we entered and held onto the board, even before we turned on the lights. Amazing experience. Highly recommend. Captain Dennis, Eve, and guide Jack were all very kind and patient, and just great people.

Crew was nice. I didn’t...

Crew was nice. I didn’t see any rays myself but other people did. Only reason for the 3 stars was because the captain on the boat bottomed out the boat and hit a rock. I got whipped lashed and still have back pain 3 days laterz

Absolutely great 👍

It was one of the best things we have ever done. The crew was extraordinary helpful. We saw a lot of big mantarays in beautiful positions. We felt very safe at all times. Thanks to everyone in the fantastic team for this wonderful adventure. Ralf and family

Amazing experience

Finding the 1st place was a small struggle and could be better explained. Getting off boat could be difficult if someone is worried about going under water. Overall the crew was great and the experience was amazing.
