This was near the end of our trip to the Big Island and when we were on the boat on our way to the site, I was a little worried. There were a couple of groups there for their 2nd or 3rd time because they hadn't seen Mantas in the previous 2 days. The crew was very fun; telling lots... More

Staff very cool and fun, first night we saw no mantas but went out night after and there was fewer people on board and we saw one! Jason is awesome and went above and beyond to make it fun for the kids when it looked like we might not be successful. But we were lucky and he swam us over... More

Our family/group of 4 10 y/os and 3 adults had a most wonderful experience with Sea Paradise Tours. The captains and crew members were sooo knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. One important difference this group offers for snorkelers is a staff on a surfboard as life guard of sorts. This person (so sorry to forget her name), really helped my kids... More

I went on two snorkelling expeditions with Sea Paradise. Both were great but the night snorkelling with the manta rays was magical. The Sea Paradise people were very professional and helpful. They gave us a lot of information about the manta rays and they had a set-up that ensured the safety of both the manta rays and the participants. I... More

We didn't expect much beyond a water taxi to the snorkeling site. That part was very satisfactory. Crew were friendly and service was good. But the process to get to the trip is annoying. We bought tickets one place down on the strip. On the day of the trip we had to drive to a checking point at a local... More

My wife and I took their two stop snorkel tour in the morning. There were only 7 people on board - this was a major factor for choosing this company vs. others. There were so many people on the Fair Winds boat when it pulled up, which is not for me. Captain Phil and his assistants first took us the... More

Went on Many Ray Night Snorkel. The crew are excellent but the experience is not as good as on previous visits. Tsunami of 2011 damaged the headquarters and some equipment. Because of that, they are limited in the light they can provide to bring the mantas to the site. We had one Manta on our trip and the sighting was... More

We had a super snorkle trip on with Sea Paradise. Only 12 peiople on the boat, great food, nice snorkle location and very friendly captain and crew. Captain let a little boy sit with him and "help" steer the boat. The crew shared their Hawaii experiences so that we all felt like friends by the time we left. The who... More

We went on the Sea Paradise morning snorkel cruise to Capt Cook and another snorkel spot called the Dome. Everything was excellent - the boat comfortable, food good, crew knowledgeable, helpful, and nice, and the snorkeling at both locations was incredible. We saw tons of fish, beautiful coral, an amazing Crown-of-thorns starfish, big schools of tangs, sea cucumbers, etc. etc.... More
