Exhilarating experience! Manta Rays are gentle giants, but those choppy waves will give you a workout! The tour guides are professional, entertaining, and safety-focused. I had a great time and would definitely do it again.

The only downside of this was me getting sea sick, something that haasn't happened to me ever. This was not the fault of the crew at all, it was just rough seas that night. We loved our encounter with the Manta Rays and would definitely recommend this tour!
