    Adventure X has built a devoted following over the years, with guests praising the exceptional crew led by Captain Loraine and team members including Riley, Spencer, Sage, Leah, and Max. The manta ray night snorkel stands out as their signature experience, and reviewers consistently describe it as magical and unforgettable. One guest has returned 14 times over 16 years, which speaks volumes about the quality and consistency. The crew's knowledge about individual mantas and their genuine care for guest comfort really shines through in the feedback. What sets this operator apart is how safe and well-cared-for guests feel throughout the experience. The team provides thorough explanations about marine life and conservation practices, helps adjust equipment in the water, and goes the extra mile to ensure everyone's comfortable. Several reviewers mention the all-female crew and appreciate the professional yet warm approach. They also offer daytime dolphin and snorkeling tours that receive equally enthusiastic praise. Tours require a minimum of six guests to run, so last-minute bookings might need rescheduling, though the crew communicates proactively about any changes.

    We did two trips with Adventure X while in Kona. Both the snorkeling trip and night time manta ray swim were AMAZING! It was the highlight of our trip. The crew was attentive and had everything we needed. They made my family and entire group feel comfortable and I loved that my daughter could see an all female crew run the boat and lead us through both activities!
