Parasailing Great, SeaBreeze Okay
Would absolutely a hundred percent recommend parasailing to anyone and everyone. It was our first time and it was thrilling--not scary at all. For the price and the length of the event, this company was fine, but there was no friendliness, no smiles, no checking on how we were doing. They had signs everywhere asking for tips but they did absolutely nothing at all to earn them. Additionally, the lobby and office was heaving Japanese-geared, most of the prominant signs are in Japanese and the lady at the front desk was difficult to understand through her accent.

Thoroughly enjoyed
Wonderful fun to see the different animals, but do NOT make this your very first snorkeling experience on the island, nor your only experience looking at fish. Don't make it your first because it is a little intense (you have to jump off the back of the moving boat *into* the pod of dolphins) if you are not comfortable snorkeling. The time it takes to see the dolphins and turtles short-changes the fish experience a bit, but is absolutely worth it.

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise
Beautiful Experience
The experience with the mantas was the highlight of our honeymoon. They are beautiful, amazing creatures and spending time with them was fantastic. The scuba diver who attracts the mantas also filmed it and it was the one DVD/picture set that we bought of all of our tours. We really loved the animals, but hte experience was so-so. Do NOT go on this tour if you are not comfortable snorkeling, as they really do not hold your hand--you go in the water in the dark and there isn't really a lifeguard or somebody making sure that you are with the pack. Its fine if you are comfortable, just be warned. The only other downside was the other people on the boat with us who, instead of passively watching the creatures and taking their turn with them, swam over on top of us every time the manta were near us. We got kicked in the head by stranger's fins and we have it all on tape! I might recommend trying to get somebody to take you on a personal charter for this beautiful experience, it would probab
