"Magical manta ray experience."

This was my daughter's first trip to the island and I wanted her to experience something new, so we took the night cruise with Bambi to see the manta rays and it was truly a magical experience for my daughter and I. Bambi was amazing on explaining everything we were experiencing. At first my daughter was scared but with Bambis experience and gentleness she put us at ease. 1000 percent worth it experience. I would recommend her tours all day long. Small and intimate and worth every minute. They treat you like family and you learn so many wonderful things along the way in this trip

I has the pleasure of going out with Captin Bambi on the night manna ray and the morning snorkeling. I had never done anything like that in my 55 years and yet with Bambies help I felt right at home and was able to snorkel for the first time in my life. The whole experience was mystical and magical and changed my life.

"Feels like a scam"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed October 18, 2025
Very shady business. I reserved a tour with this company. But decided to cancel a week before the actual tour date. On the tour confirmation email, it clearly said that I need to call to make changes to the tour. I tried to call multiple times on different days and left them a voice message. No one picked any call or returned a call to me. On the date of the tour, the owner called me and told me that I will not get any refund cause I didn’t contact them by email to cancel. The whole thing feels like a scam. Don’t recommend to order any tour with them. There are many options at Kona

We loved the manta ray snorkel tour and the dolphin watch (including two great snorkel spots). It is a much more beautiful and personal experience to be on an almost private tour (max 6 persons) which makes it an ideal solution for families. Our two sons (7 and 9y) loved it as well, so we can definitely recommend both tours!
