Experience of a lifetime! The guides were funny and super nice. My daughter got a little scared once the manta rays were swimming under her and they were great about helping her onto the raft so she could see them from above while I continued to enjoy myself. We even got to see spinner dolphins on our way out. What a bonus!! Highly recommend this excursion with this company! 💜

Absolutely amazing night trip to see the mantas! 10/10 highly recommend! Most amazing thing we’ve ever done! My 8 year old had the time of his life. Diego and Lena were amazing hosts!!

Captain Lena & Diego were awesome hosts. Saw probably 50 manta rays and up to 7 or 8 at any one time! Went with family 4 adults 3 kids (ages 4, 6, 8) with no problem. Huge selection of wet suits and life jackets so everyone had the right “gear” - even the kiddos! Diego took video and photos of the rays underwater and air dropped them to our phone …. For free! Super cool and unexpected. Highly recommend Iruka on the Big Island!

This Sunday night crew was AMAZING. The experience is now on the top of my 5 most memorable life events. From the beginning the crew was so welcoming and accomodating to everyone's individual needs. The instructions were clear and the boat was fully equipped, we felt very safe. The sunset was breathtaking but the best part was yet to come. Seeing the majestic mantarays was something beyond my wildest dreams. They swim up from the darkness and partake in what looks like a beautiful dance (but they are eating) they are gentle and seem not to mind our company. The crew set us up and stayed with us the whole time and checked in with us frequently. I noticed one of the crew members staying with the kids on top and making it fun for them. It was beautiful, all of it, and you shouldn't miss out on this.

Great Experience! The guides were wonderful and made sure everyone was safe and having fun. Manta Rays were gorgeous! Rental of wet suit should be included in this price, but it is an extra $10.

Excellent trip and we were well looked after. Even the wet suit made me look good. Great crew, we got to see multiple Manta Rays. Whilst we were told not to touch the Manta Rays, clearly the same briefing hadn't been given to the rays, they were great. Would definitely go out with this company again.

OMG, what an amazing experience! This was the highlight of our trip to the Big Island. This is a must do adventure. We took the 6:30 sunset boat and it was perfect. We saw countless Manta Rays up close and personal. Great experience with Iruka. I highly recommend them. They even took videos of the experience and shared them with us after the tour.

A magical experience with an attentive and caring crew! Communication was great! After check in with Will, we met at the boat harbor for wetsuit fitting. Louis, our Captain, was a calming presence for any of us who were a bit nervous (me, lol). I immediately felt at ease and ready to take the plunge! Amanda was attentive and helped all of us with boarding and our gear. We were given instructions and education about the trip and the Manta rays. It was clear this was a company who cares about these majestic creatures and about the safety of their guests. Deavon regaled us with information on the short boat ride to the viewing site. He was funny and caring throughout our time in the boat and in the water. I highly recommend My Kona Adventures for your adventure of a lifetime! Aloha!
