FAQs
Can my young child come along if they won’t be snorkeling?
Yes. Children who aren’t getting in the water can join as ride-alongs and watch the mantas from the deck of the 50-foot catamaran.
Can parents take turns snorkeling while one stays on the boat with our child?
Yes. Parents can swap in and out of the water during the tour. The snorkel portion lasts about 45 minutes in total, and you can split that time however works best for your family.
How far is the swim from the boat to the manta site?
It’s a short swim of about 20–30 feet from the boat to the floating light raft, where you’ll hold on and watch the mantas feed below.
