Wonderful ride down the coast looking for wildlife on the Deep Water Ocean Adventure. We saw sperm whales, Blainvilles beaked whales, and (of course) humpback whales.Full review by denvery2014

Are you allowed to bring your own GoPro in the water on this tour?

Yes-but you have to keep it (and any cameras) close to your body. No stretching out your arms, selfie sticks or dangling things or else the rays won’t come! You even have to lay your body flat on the water or else it scares them away and trust me, you want to see every incredible moment you can with these beauties!!
Does the staff take pictures underwater for purchase or do we need to bring our own camera? Thank you,
A:
Aloha! We do take photos of you on the boat and in the water. We provide 10-15 photos to you at no cost. You are welcome to bring your own camera also! Aloha Melainah

I did the tour in June 2015 and the time can vary. When you first arrive at the site, everyone is give a wet suit and can go in and snorkel on their own until it starts getting dark or a manta ray is seen. We were only there about 20 minutes before a Manta arrived then everyone hangs on to the raft type device and you have to lay motionless so they will come close. The tour goes as long as the Manta's are staying around you (we were there about 45 minutes). then everyone gets back on board and gets the wet suits off and you head back in. A MUST DO activity.
