This has been one of my trip hilights. The guides shared their knowledge about the ocean, sea life and manta rays, which I found fascinating. Also a healthy dose of dad jokes ;-) What's not to love? I would definitely do this again. I also enjoyed helping to paddle the canoe. One warning, the sea can get a bit rough when you're floating there, so hang on tight to the bar when they tell you to, or you still may lose your phone while taking photos (like I did), or lose your cookies due to seasickness like another person on our tour did. Still worth it!…

This was seriously one of the top highlights of my vacation to the Big Island. The staff were super nice, friendly, and funny and it was really cool paddling out in an outrigger canoe. They provided wet suit jackets and snorkel equipment (you can also bring your own) and we saw no less than 13 gigantic and graceful manta rays, some coming within inches of us!! It was an incredible experience; one I highly recommend to everyone. Note- no free swimming, they have you hold on to the boat the entire time (which is fine as the mantas swim right up to you anyway).…

My group of friends did the double hull canoes manta ray night snorkel tour. This is the only tour I booked for our group, and I am so glad I chose this tour. It was an amazing experience. The manta swim up in front of you, and they get so close that sometimes it feel like they are going to touch you. Two of my friends don't snorkel, but they could still see the mantas from canoes-they really enjoyed it too. High recommend Anelakai Adventures.…

The paddle experience was easy and pretty short. The guides were nice, funny, informative and very attentive. Over all it was a blast and a great experience to get out in a traditional double hull canoe. We would 100% book with this group again. It was a great small group experience. …
