Overview
Ride Alongs do not get in the water, they stay on the boat. Our viewing location is the most ideal manta viewing location. We have just a short 5 minute boat ride out to our snorkel destination. Using our state of the art viewing board, our expert in water crew will guide snorkelers through the bay to view these beautiful animals. Snorkelers enjoy approximately 30 minutes of in water viewing time.
This exciting night snorkel with Magnificent Manta Rays is an event you will never forget! This is a close encounter of a different kind, and you'll have memories to last a lifetime!
