Disappointing

Sian_B, Sep 2019
Once in a life time chance and fully understand no guarantees but it was so rushed. No manta rays and the coral reef was disappointing. We were not offered the trip another day for £75 which was stated on the paperwork.

Nature rules and plan travel accordingly

Jennifer_L, Aug 2019
Viator needs to include more information about this experience so that people can plan accordingly. Had we known, we would not have planned a day trip because it was very rushed and we would have planned to stay at the Manta Ray Island Resort overnight. It's a 3 hour ferry ride from the port and upon arriving (around 11:30/12), it's a very rushed experience because you get a quick intro and go out to sea for snorkeling / scuba diving for about an hour and then rush to the lunch that comes with the experience (very yummy - but still felt rushed the whole time). Pickup for the ferry back to the port is between 2-2:30, sometimes 3, and then it's a 3 hour ferry ride back to the port. This a 6 hour commute time for not a ton of time in the water to immerse in the beautiful underwater world. Nice if you like ferry rides, but you're paying to immerse yourself in the manta ray experience / underwater world. The guide and people were extremely friendly, but the hour or so in the water was so short compared to the travel time. While we didn't see manta rays because the tides were low, we saw so much underwater life and such amazing types of reefs that we have never seen elsewhere. I recommend staying here overnight rather than the day trip.
