Great! But crowded

This was our first of two manta ray night snorkel tours. Being up close and personal with these gentle giants was truly unforgettable, and the tour was well run. However, it's a VERY large group. Crying kids, adult men acting like kids because they saw a shark (if you're scared of being near a shark, don't go in the ocean ya know), and a lot of people flailing around after being told to float with the pool noodles so you don't spook the mantas. The tour guides and the boat were great, it was really just the size of the tour that would have me suggest a smaller group for most people. If you are a family looking for a more convenient and comfortable tour (the boat was very large and easy to get on/off, then I would recommend this one.
