This was an amazing experience! Professional crew who knew exactly how to ensure safety and calm nervous participants. The knowledge and protection of the mantas was impressive. Diego, Mitch, Scoot and our captain Trevor were amazing. Highly recommend!

We had several of our friends tell us that Snorkeling with Manta Rays was a "must do" when on the Big Island. We're so glad that we did and we agree... "Must Do". Before we headed out my wife was concerned that she might get too cold in the water (she's ALWAYS cold), but the insulated wet suit that was supplied kept her comfortable. We saw lots of Mantas up close. The crew also took videos which they air dropped to me after we returned to the harbor.

The experience of swimming with the mantas was awesome, but the tour company wasn't great. Lots of young (near) kids yelling and not acting professional at all. Boat was also super crowded, which made for crowded water. Definitely do the manta snorkel but pick a different tour company.

The staff members were all very welcoming and friendly. They helped our family group, including a son with autism who was unwilling to put on a snorkel mask, have a great experience and see several manta rays on our trip. They provided him the support he needed to get to a floating structure where he was able to sit and watch the manta rays without a mask. They even provided an underwater video of some of the manta ray sightings from that evening to us when we were done. I was very impressed with the staff support to make it fun and accessible for everyone.

This was an amazing experience. Our guides, Bryce, Mitch, Patrick and Tamae were the best. They made everyone comfortable and the jokes kept us laughing. I think we had seven manta rays around us the whole time. They definitely got up close. Definitely recommend this tour and would love to go again.

This was a really enjoyable excursion. The crew was so much fun and the rays were gorgeous. It was a great way to see the coast and be on the water for a couple hours.

Kona Coral Reef Diving was very polite and helpful. Once you pay, they remain in contact with you via your cell phone. Their staff showed up as planned at the port. My kids were incredibly happy and it was worth every penny. The business also rents Go Pros if you don't have one.

Absolutely amazing! Everyone should add Manta ray swimming to their bucket list! We had 8+ mantas swimming around us, it was magical! crew makes you feel comfortable and educates you the whole time. Definitely will do it again!

Chris and Budda made this one of the most memorable experiences of my life. They briefed us for success, took us out on the water and we saw 11 different manta rays. Once, there were six within sight doing their underwater ballet. The mantas came within 6” of us, but never touching. I’ve been scuba diving for over 10years and this snorkel trip was the single greatest thing I’ve ever experienced in the water.
