A solid informative video and have gone out of the Keauhou Harbor three times (used SeaQuest a couple times), and thankfully we’ve seen plenty of Mantas each time. We rented a GoPro our last time in February 2022 and got some amazing video. This is a must do excursion.

Omg we did this in September and what an incredible experience this was. There were so many of them. I was not afraid at all so if you think you might be, trust me , you won’t be because you forget your in the water. Please don’t miss out , you won’t regret it. ♥️♥️

Such an informative video. Thank you so much. Definitely looking at SeaQuest now. Does it matter which time slot to choose? Sunset or later? We are going in Sept.

Slight edge to the later boat. Fewer boats run later which means more attention per boat by the mantas as a general rule (but not always)

Great video. What operators would you suggest? We would prefer an operator that would give personalized attention. Also you mentioned to find operators with stronger lights? Which ones are those?
@AdventuresinAviators2 жыл бұрын
I'm a bit biased, but best lights goes to SeaQuestHawaii - they also have fewer guests per guide than many larger companies. They run out of Keauhou which means the boat ride is quick.

I’m visiting my sister soon and we are thinking about doing it by the hotel, but you swim out instead of by boat. I believe it’s Mauna Kea Mantas. Do you think it’s safe to snorkel out to the spot at night? In terms of sharks. It’s smaller groups too which appeals to me
@AdventuresinAviators4 ай бұрын
If there are boats, swimming at night is quite dangerous and not advisable. Sharks not a concern

hi awesome your whole information. question to ask, maybe you can help me: I booked through Aloha Kayak to do the manta rays snorkel through a kayak, I booked and paid for the tour already to do it on August 13. I called a few times and sent an email and no response at all. I wanted to have more information about the length of the tour and how it works if I go by kayak instead of by boat? I should have asked questions before booking but it was too late, I paid already and I realized that I have questions to ask. Im getting super frustrated that there is no reply or call back from aloha kayak. The funny thing that I booked the company based on some reviews I read online. So strange that its impossible to get ahold of them. Any advise, input? thanks a lot anyways, you are the best, love your videos. Sebastian

Yes, but they will also have some available (but everyone floats without them)
