Must do big island experience!

We booked this experience for the last night of our stay on the big island due to so many other rave reviews we heard about it while visiting. I am so glad we did! We experienced an up close and personal view of 8 to 10 manta rays during our snorkel. The Dolphin Discoveries team did a great job from start to finish! Would highly recommend!
Best adventure I’ve ever done —kid friendly

I’ve been scuba, swam w sharks, skydiving, this was by far my favorite thing I’ve ever done. Children (age 8, 13 and 14) were amazed!

Manta Ray beauty on the sea

I was a little hesitant to go out to the ocean at night. But man was I glad we did! On this incredible excursion you are most definitely up close and personal with these beautiful sea creatures! The Manta Rays gave us a show we will remember forever! As soon as they turn on the lights, the fun began! Plankton was attracted to the light which then attracted the Manta Ray. They came right up to my goggles and flipped over and over again to collect their food, the plankton. We couldn’t touch them but they would touch us, which was unreal. When we were done and they turned off the lights, we got an extra surprise. We had a massage of tiny fish flapping on all of us. We laughed, screamed and even found a couple of fish in our suits when we got back to the resort! The guides said they never experienced this before! Just an extra treat from under the sea!! This is definitely a MUST DO!
Beautiful

Great experience all together! The staff, boat crew, and guides were amazing and knowledgeable! We got a chance to see mantas! Several! And the experience was outstanding! 10/10 would do again!
I really loved when Honi...

I really loved when Honi was talking about the manta who was injured by the kayak, and then she showed up right underneath us! Honi was an excellent guide!
Amazing manta ray snorkeling experience

It was an amazing experience to watch and swim with the Mamta rays.
The tour guides were very skillful and guided us throughout this wonderful tour. They made sure that everyone was safe, especially when I didn’t know much to swim❤️

Captain Allen and our guides did a fantastic job. I'm a scuba diver who has done many night dives, so jumping in the water at night was no big deal. My wife however was very nervous. Once in the water, she relaxed after seeing how easy it was to just hang onto the floating board and observe the beautiful mantas. Our guide Honi was very informative, giving us great facts about the Manta's. We were fortunate to see 10-12 Mantas, along with many fish. I highly recommend Dolphin Discoveries for your manta snorkel.
Wonderful Unforgetable Experience!

If there is one thing you can do in the big island, this is IT. I was told there is no where else in the world that you can see Manta ray swimming up right next to you and doing back rolls - sometimes within a foot in front of you. Both my son and my husband were touched by the Manta rays multiple times. These are really majestic creatures spans to 16ft and weigh over thousand pounds, even the babies were born at 3-400lbs. The guide is knowlegeable and we were lucky to pretty much have a continuous show in the 40 minutes we were in water. Definitely the highlight of our trip!
