Had an amazing time seeing the beautiful Manta Rays! Our guide and captin (Jake and Jeff) were amazing. They were extremely knowledgeable and made you feel like a friend. Highly recommend this great adventure!

This was such an amazing experience getting up close with the manta rays. Erika was really knowledgeable about the manta rays, including the specifics of local ones, whilst we watched them cruise around us. Adam and the crew ensured our safety whilst on board the vessel, with good tunes playing as we cruised out to snorkel location Couldn't recommend this enough!

An amazing experience sailing into the dark starry sea and the getting into the ocean watching the beautiful manta rays. Everything is calm and d safe and on the premises of the Mantas. Highly recommend also with teenagers.

The night swim was beyond words. I’ve never experienced anything like it. Captain Jeff and Jacob did a great job of keeping everyone safe while providing information and a great experience. Would absolutely recommend this!

Had a great time. Hit the jackpot seeing almost non-stop manta action. Also hit the jackpot with an excellent quide, Sara(h?). Sara was a pro, who really knows her stuff. She really made the experience a special treat.

This experience was definitely top 3 coolest things I’ve done in my life. Giant gentle mantas inches from your face, glowing plankton and fish. Our guide, Jacob, and his crew (include Kai, the bestest dog) were so wonderful. Because we were such a small group, they were able to make sure each of us were comfortable, and we were able to go where the hot spots were. I highly recommend this small group tour over the giant boats.

Jacob, Jeff, and the girl with the beautiful name that I can't remember (starts with an M) were fantastic. We had two of our moms along with us and the crew was great with them making sure they were comfortable. The tour was my sister-in-law's idea and I'm so glad we did it. I have never been that close to wildlife, let alone that close to a huge sea creature. Only little swimming needed.....can highly recommend.

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We had originally booked with Hawaii Oceanic as we wanted a small group experience. However, the company contacted us that day to let us know they did not have enough people booked for the small group excursion, so they offered us a trip with their sister company, Coral Reef Adventures for the same time/day. We could not have asked for a better experience! The crew was so incredibly nice. We went out before sunset and watched the beautiful sunset, then about 10 minutes later we were in the water. It was only dusk and we saw TONS of Mantas. It truly was Manta Heaven, as they called it. They swam so close to us that we would have to move out of their way! They were beautiful & majestic and I will absolutely be taking my kids to the Big Island when they’re older to experience the Manta Magic as well!

This was absolutely amazing!! Jacob, Jeff, and others (can’t remember their names) were incredible. They took very good care of us, made sure we were comfortable, and encouraged lots of questions. The boat ride out to the snorkel area was only 20-30 minutes. Once we got in the water, the rays started to show up so fast! They would swim within a few inches of our faces. One also touched me just barely. It was a once in a lifetime experience. You do get a little cold so definitely use the wet suit they offer, and your shoulders may be sore just from holding on to the board for 30 whole minutes. Overall, I highly recommend you check this out!!

Wow! We had the experience of a lifetime with Jacob, Captain Jeff and First Mate Kaya. They were exceptional guides for our late night manta ray snorkel. We were lucky to see 18+ beautiful manta rays on a perfect night. I was very nervous about the trip, but Jacob, Jeff and Kaya made me feel at ease. They gave clear instructions throughout the excursion and were very helpful. As soon as we were underway to the snorkel site, I felt right at ease. That feeling continued throughout the night, until we safely docked. We also appreciated the snacks and drinks that were provided after the tour. The manta ray snorkel is a must-do on the Big Island and I highly recommend Coral Reef Snorkel Adventures, especially the late night tour.

Went on 8:30 pm manta ray snorkle adventure. Boat ride is about 20 minutes and a bit bumpy but exhilarating. Crew had just set light board in the water and we hadn't got in water yet when Manta rays started swimming up to it to eat plankton. We were in the water about an hour and there was maybe a 5 minute period with no rays. Crew said, typically they would see 2 to 3 rays on a tour. We saw at least 10, including the biggest ray in the bay. The rays easily come within a foot of you and rubbed up against me an my wife a few times. Gentle giants who just want a snack, it was a magical encounter with a giant from the deep. Most rays were about 8 foot across, but a few were probably 15 foot. One of the most amazing experiences of my life and that's making a statement. Crew was professional and very helpful.

This was in my opinion one of the most incredible and magical adventures ever. The crew that took us out were awesome and made everyone feel comfortable, even me who is a terrible swimmer. I highly recommend this group for your night time Manta Ray swim.

Mahalo nui Guides Maianna and Jacob, Captain Jeff and Co captain Kaya (((♡))) I felt so safe tonight which has been an emotion void from me for so long. My breathing felt so smooth and I surrendered to the excitement of the unknown. Your energy guiding me to visit amakua is seen and felt with all my heartstrings. Being in the ocean at night is a big fear I have had, I felt so ready for our swim tonight I remember jumping in as soon as possible and staying as long as feasible (((♡)))the heart shape patterns and the polka dots on their bellies captivated my eyes as I watched them dance and twril. Mahalo nui loa ✨ until we meet again

We recommend the sunset tour. We had a beautiful sunset leaving the harbor. You go into the water when it's still a little light to get your bearings, and while snorkeling it gets dark (it doesn't get dark on the later tours ;)). At this time the manta rays are not yet full, so the chances of seeing many are very good. Compared to other operators, this is a small group, so very efficient with issuing wetsuits and snorkeling gear. Great guides, good equipment, fun little boat. During snorkeling our guide moved the board sometimes to get the best number of manta rays. We saw a lot and it was overwhelming. They offer snacks and drinks.

This was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever done. All the employees (Jacob, Carmel, and I cannot remember the captains name, and the dig Kaia) were amazing, run and helpful! And the sunset was beautiful!!
