Reservations canceled with less than 48 hours notice will be charged the full price unless we are able to fill the seat(s) on the boat.

Since manta rays are wild animals their presence is affected by a variety of factors, and we don’t have control over whether or not they grace us with their presence. Because your enjoyment on the trip is a high priority to us (second only to safety), we do everything we can to find mantas for you including making informed decisions on where to go to have the best opportunity to see them. On the rare occasion, we don’t see any mantas, you can come back out with us on a standby seat for free.
We welcome children ages 4 and up. We do ask that they are comfortable in the water floating for up to 40 minutes.
Absolutely not. It is important to remember they are wild animals their natural environment. We want to do everything possible to not disturb them and simply observe their majesty.
