Super fun and amazing experience

It was a fantastic experience, although if you get motion sickness easy this experience my be hard for you. Getting back on the boat I felt a little nauseous after being in the water. But it's worth it to see the manta rays we saw at least two. I recommend bringing a disposable waterproof camera to take pictures. Sam was our guide and she was super cool and was very informative
