This was a once in a lifetime experience. We had non stop manta rays swimming underneath us for 20 minutes straight! It was intense, so definitely not for those easily scared or not comfortable in the ocean with large creatures. The staff was all well trained and very calm. You can tell they have done this many many times. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and if someone didn’t they swam with them back to the boat. They also allowed someone to get in after the main group was all set up in the water so they could try the experience. The main woman who guided us in the water was great!
Deaven did a nice job checking us in and fitting us for our wet suits. He was very patient with one person in our party who couldn’t decide which size felt best. Seeing these large creatures up close was something I’ll never forget.
On a side note, Trip Advisor allowed me to sign up and pay for a n empire person they’ll a they had room for, so one person in my party could not go. It was hard at the time. TA said they’ll refund us. I happen

We had a great experience. The crew members Dave and his fellow shipmates, were polite, helpful, humorous, knowledgeable. Big girl Amanda arrived shortly after our arrival. She made a few passes and rolls before disappearing into the night ocean

It was an amazing experience, Dylan, Chase and Greg were so nice! I definitely would recommend it!!!
Jenn_F
Absolutely worth it! Amazing experience, the manta rays come so close to you it's truly an unreal experience! The crew were all so kind and informative. 10/10 would do it again in a heart beat!!

I never will go. I bought a groupon and tried to book my trip. When I called today I was first greeted by a voicemail that they do not check but it was stated they call back everyone that calls. I got my call back and the owner that answered was very rude once he found out I was using a groupon. He talked over me when I was questioning the time. He told me it was all clearly stated on the groupon. When I had my groupon pulled up I could not see anything about a 11 pm tour time. He claims that I should have know by "late" night tour I should have known to look that up. I tried to explain I couldn't even see where it said "late" but the point wasn't that I didn't see fine print or whatever. The point of my negative review was him talking over me and not letting me talk. He booked me on the tour and before I could really understand what he was doing he canceled it saying I was unhappy. I hope to get my money back as groupon is saying it is past the refund date. I would have gladly went on the tour at 11 pm had he been more willing to let me talk and grasp the fine print. Now I am at a crossroads as I do not want to go out with such a gruff person.
