    Great video thank you! Were looking forward to doing the manta ray excursion, your tips for booking are super helpful.
  • @Josh.Vanjani
    Looks like a fun one, guys 👍! Thanks for the exciting underwater footage. Some day, if I can afford it (at $7k!) I'd like to get the Carl F. Bucherer "Manta Ray" watch.

    🤙Thanks for sharing! I get motion sickness, so I will take a pill before going in for sure. 😆 How long were you under in the water? I see some tours said 20 mins, some is like 40 to 45 mins. We are thinking to go for the long one, but after you mention the arms are tired, then maybe 20 mins? Do you feel long enough? Was it cold at all inside the water? Thank you!
  • When we went in February I was so nervous. They are big creatures but it was so cool. We had like 15 or more where we were
  • @javiersigala9353
    Looks cool. I do have a question though. If someone eats to consider this experience but doesn't know how to swim, do they provide la life vest for those people ? Thanks

    Did Wiebe have to pay for the excursion if he didn’t go in the water ? My wife would also love this, but not myself .
  • I found the tip very helpful to pick the right port or place to leave from, but you never said which one. You said book the one closest to the experience, but where is that??
  • I was going to book the "Manta Ray Advocates "; any thoughts? I was told you swim out about 50 yards from the beach, so I guess no boat ride out to them.

    I love the zoom in on Nacho's face. What a sweet baby!
  • The first manta ray that had that bent wing tip is named Amanda ray. Gotta be my favorite for sure. I work for ocean Encounters and it’s awesome seeing the captain and crew on youtube. Also typically it’s not as long of a boat ride. We only go south when there are no mantas at our northern site. The northern site right outside the Kona airport is only about a 20 minute boat ride. When they were rushing you it was just because we have to get back to the harbor for our 8pm trip and with the longer boat ride down south it’s a little time restrictive.
