Big Island of Hawaii Jet Boats & Speed Boats

Great experience! Bryan and Brice were extremely friendly and shared lots of stories and fun facts about manta rays. Apart from many mantas we even saw a very cool and rare monk seal! The hot chocolate afterwards was also a great plus.

Absolutely magical experience being mere inches away from Manta Rays! Cannot recommend Hawaii Marine Life Charters enough. Definitely encourage booking with them directly!! They were communicative, knowledgeable, and made our experience so fun. We loved the small group size that made the trip feel more intimate. The tour was exactly the right length and it was worth every cent! Captain Mitch & Bobby were excellent!! We felt so safe and taken care of and it was clear they went above and beyond to give us a wonderful experience, especially since the weather is unpredictable and the majestic Manta rays are wild animals! We saw SO many mantas - at one point I couldn’t even see the ocean floor there were so many in our life of sight. It was the highlight of our trip and one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The hot chocolate and snacks on the boat ride home were the perfect way to end such a euphoric experience. To top it all off, we even got to take home photos and videos of the mantas swimming right up underneath us and barrel rolling - what a treat! Thank you so much!!!

We actually had to reschedule and wound up going on the Captain cook tour instead. It was so fun and the crew was amazing! The dolphin watching and snorkeling were awesome! We had three kids (3.5 and 7) with us and they had a great time. Highly recommend!

This was hands down one of the best experiences of our trip to Hawaii! From start to finish, the crew made us feel safe, welcome, and excited to be out on the water.Captain Mitch did an amazing job getting us to the best snorkeling spots while making the trip fun and informative. Diego was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. A huge thank you to Tamae for capturing such an incredible video of our adventure it’s something we’ll treasure forever!The snorkeling was absolutely unbelievable. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, a Hawaiian monk seal, beautiful coral reefs, countless colorful fish, and even reef sharks! It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.If you’re thinking about booking this tour, don’t hesitate you won’t regret it. The crew went above and beyond to make the day unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mahalo, Mitch, Diego, and Tamae, for giving us memories we’ll never forget!

Brian and Bobby were fantastic guides. Brian was great at navigating the rough waters and Bobby at finding the best Manta Ray location in a weeks time since the storm. The experience was unbelievable and unforgettable. Book with these guys!

This was the most amazing experience ever! Mitch and Bobby were just awesome! I would recommend this to anyone and everyone!

It was absolutely wonderful. The tour was three hours long. They fed us hotdog chips, drinks, and snack snacks it was wonderful all kinds of different fish people on the boat were very helpful and accommodating

Great crew, very informative on marine wildlife. We saw dolphins, turtles, and even a monk seal. We were able to swim with a manta ray that was feeding during the day, rare occurrence. We had a great time and could not have asked for a better experience.

Captain Mitch and Riley were amazing. Riley went out of his way to make sure we got a really good show and Captain Mitch made everyone feel really comfortable and made sure we all had a good time!

The two-hour ride was a delightful and breathtaking experience, especially since we went during the sunset. The guides were incredibly helpful and made the journey even more enjoyable. Seeing the manta rays was an unforgettable moment, and we also had the pleasure of observing other types of fish.

The manta ray snorkel was absolutely amazing! Mitch was a great captain and navigated the waves without problem. Bryce was a great historian and made sure we felt safe. The small group made the experience so much better, and the hot chocolate at the end was such a good touch. Highly recommend booking this trip with these guys!!

Absolutely Magnificent! This is a must do. Mitch and Bobby did a wonderful job. Don’t miss this.

Intimate and unforgettable — this tour blew away every expectation.I’ll admit, the thought of getting in the ocean at night had me nervous, but it turned out to be thrilling and exhilarating. Bobby kept things light with his comedy, then got right in the water with us — guiding us by fins and expertise to find the rays.This was one of the coolest experiences of my life. Amanda, the ray, was clearly putting on a show — she glided within inches of me, a gentle giant of the sea. Even though we were provided wetsuits, the ocean chill started to set in about halfway through so the hot chocolate and rice crispy treat waiting afterwards were the perfect warm up reward.10/10, would highly recommend. Bonus points for the video footage the team captured, so I could really enjoy myself. P.S. — loved the zodiac boat! 🤙🏽

Absolutely incredible experience. We say 8 manta rays doing barrel rolls right below us. Absolutely nuts. Top 10 lifetime experience and these guys do it right. Hot chocolate on the way home was a wonderful bonus! Seriously, do this, you won’t be sorry.

We were given snorkels and wet suits and they took us on the boat to the location. After a few mantaray facts, we got in the water. The mantarays got so close! In fact they bumped into me I think a few times. Afterwards they gave us hot chocolate and snacks. It was an incredible experience in the ocean, mantarays are such beautiful creatures.

It was a great experience!! I loved the small group it felt very comfortable with the guides
