Wahine Charters

We did alot of research for who we should go on the night manta snorkel and were glad we chose wqhine charters. This was a smaller group and a max of 14 passengers leaving us with a more personal experience. The boat ride out to the sight was nice and we were provided with beverages. When we hopped in the water, we almost instantly had our first manta sighting. In the end, we saw 2 manta rays make their rounds between several groups of my 100 closest friends. The ray lefty did a giant barrel roll in front of us, making this excursion our favorite of the trip so far! One of the members of our group was very sea sick and the crew was very accomodating and had ginger ale and chews. We would totally recommend everyone do this tour! Thank you Troy and Danielle for a great experience!

Great job Capt. Dave and Troy. The night manta ray snorkel dive was an awesome family activity. Great humor and fun song the way too! Thanks again!

I took my wife and 2 daughters (12 and 8), very good trip. My wife read lots of reviews and we wanted another company but their age limit wouldn’t allow my 8 year old. That company recommend Wahine Charters, and I am glad they did. The boat is small, but you’re not going far and the point is not the boat but to go see the Manta Rays. The crew was great, they instructed us on what to do and how to do it to maximize the sightings. We got to see three rays and one did a triple flip right under us. You should go in knowing that the crew can’t control the rays and you may not get to see 25 or 30 of them. What the crew can control is a fun atmosphere for all ages, and they exceeded all my expectations. And to top it off, there was awesome soup and fresh fruit on the trip back!

WOW! AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The captain and crew are great. They are really friendly and patient. We are on our way back to the harbor after doing the Manta Ray night snorkel. We saw a bunch of mantas… lost count after the seventh manta … One of the best experiences of my life! Still on the boat had to review… Really impressed… THANK YOU DAVE AND TROY!

Fantastic, amazing, thing I have ever see.
30min boat ride to the coolest experience you will
Ever have.

We did a night snorkel on our honeymoon to Hawaii. It was absolutely amazing! The total highlight of our trip! Danielle and Troy made us feel right at home on the boat. The mantas were incredible!!! Troy’s direction was great! Danielle was a great captain! It was really a once-​in-​a-​lifetime experience! I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone going to Hawaii! We even got homemade soup and fresh fruit on the ride back into shore! Really yummy treat! :)

I definitely recommend going on this adventure. Our group of 6 swam literally with 30 dolphins and manta rays. It was an amazing experience. Our captain Tim was super friendly and knowledgeable. It was the best snorkeling experience. Our captain even had fresh fruit, snack and drinks for us on the boat. It was 100% worth every penny

Manta ray snorkel with captain Danielle and 1^st mate Troy. Sunset boat ride out was beautiful. We saw dozens of Rays up close. Unforgettable experience. Greeted by a cup of warm soup upon completion to help warm up. Bring a couple of towels, It is cold when you get out of the water. Wet suits were provided and made being in the water very comfortable. Danielle and Troy wee fun, and gracious tour guides. We will look forward to coming back, next time with our boys.

This was so wonderful and surreal! 6 of us… swimming with manta-​ray and like 40 dolphin. It was more then we imagined. Thanks to the great and super fun owner & captain for making our trip to Hawaii unforgettable! The pineapple & orange was perfect and so was the experience.

I went on an amazing private tour tonight with two of my girlfriends! We rented out the whole boat just for us for the night swim with the manta rays! We did the snorkle since im not dive certified yet, but after this excursion I will be getting certified soon because the only thing that could have made this cooler would be to dive deeper!
We had soo much fun and saw a school of spinner dolphins along the way that decided to play by our boat and put on a show for a while.
Our guide was Troy, he was awesome and the captian was great as well. Both super friendly and even brought us tomato basil soup for after the dive.
I got a little sea sick from the rough waters but still had a great time. We saw a few mantas and one came really close to us. They are such beautiful and gentle creatures! And get really big! I also tripped out a little from massive school pf fish that insisted that wherever I was was the best place to hang out.

We did the Manta Experience. Troy and Captain Tim were awesome. The mantas were amazing. Definitely worth the trip. Would highly recommend it.

Very fun! Definitely an experience! Would recommend doing! Very unique to see the manta ray do backflips under you. The boat ride out and back is a little rough if you get sea sick, so be careful. Troy and Danielle were great group leaders as well!!! Only thing is, I think the time in the water is a bit too long.

First trip didnt see mantas
They rebook me
Second trip was amazing seeing gigantic mantas with Daniel and Troy

We did a private charter for the wild dolphin swim and snorkel. The most amazing, memorable experience EVER!!! Mel & Dave were so awesome and accommodating and HELPFUL with the kids (we had 5 kids on the trip) so that we too could enjoy the dolphins and the waters also! Saw SO many dolphins, we were all smiles from ear to ear and even still talking about it now. I would highly recommend using Wahine Charters. We are very happy customers!
Allmaras party — March 26^th, 2016

Went out yesterday for a dolphin swim with Sean and Danielle. They were both very professional, kind and attentive. A VERY enjoyable experience!

Night snorkel with the mantas rays and the amazing crew, Danielle and Mel! Thank you for a trip we will not soon forget!

Booked a moonlit manta ray snorkel with Wahine Charters on our trip and it was one of the most incredible experiences of our whole trip! Our captains Tim and Danielle took great care of our crew and took us to a spot with a ton of Manta’s. Tim jumped in with us and gave us some information, as well as names of some of the Manta’s that were coming so close to us they were almost bumping into us!
Couldn’t recommend this enough to future visitors!

We had an amazing whale watching experience. Had over a dozen sightings including a surprising breech close by. Professional staff, drinks and snacks ante included and the captain was able to answer questions and offer tidbits of info. Highly recommend!

The Manta Ray snorkel was on the top of my husband’s list of things to do in Hawaii. I was deathly afraid of doing this but my husband insisted and wasn’t going to do it without me so I gave in and said yes. The earlier sunset tour was sold out for the day we wanted so we ended up doing the moonlight tour which scared me even more. I was so worked up and freaked out I was super quiet for most of the day and couldn’t eat anything with the fear of getting nauseous. Needless to say, I was so happy I went through with it because it was a once-​in-​a-​lifetime experience. Dave was great, being humorous and making us feel safe.
Once you’re out in the bay and they spot a ray, they bring out this structure that looks a surfboard surrounded by PVC piping and has lights throughout. One by one, everyone slides into the ocean and swims to the structure and holds on to the PVC pipe area while looking into the water.
I definitely recommend the moonlight tour because there was only 1 other boat out there with us. We saw about 15 – 17 rays that night. Everyone was amazed. They call the sunset tour the «Vegas of the sea» because of how many boats are out in the bay at once.

Wow … the night Manta Ray snorkel is amazing. Don’t wait till your last couple of days to book it because all the charters do sell out and don’t want to miss this once in a lifetime moment. They go out twice … the sunset earlier tour and a later one. We were booked on the sunset and had to wait a bit for it to get dark. The ride out was bumpy so if you have trouble with that take a few benadril and hold off eating. When we anchored at our destination is when the boat really started rocking … several felt nauseous by then. But when the darkness comes and the rays are around you … it’s magnificent. They are huge … about the size of a picnic table. so graceful.
Our captain Eric. his son Christian and crew member Shane were very nice and did all they could do to help us and alleviate any concerns. I liked they had a great sense of humor. the pineapple and super after the snorkel were great but I was hesitant to eat much afraid the journey back would bother my tummy. The way back they hall butt and go fast. I loved it.
all you need to bring is a towel and bathing suit. snorkels and wet suits are provided. The way back Is a bit chilly so a jacket wouldn’t hurt or snuggle up with someone. I took an underwater digital camera and asked what they suggested. they said put on movie and then edit it. I kept shopping and restarting it so the movie wouldn’t be too long and worked great.
they told us they would give a discount on other tours but we didn’t have any time left on the island. I would have so wanted to take the spinner dolphin tour and whale watching when in season.
