Expert Guided Kona Night Manta Tour with Snorkeling

Overview

What if you could snorkel with the most graceful, beautiful creatures of the ocean?

Night Manta Snorkeling tour is the #1 rated activity on the Big Island for a reason. We take you out to one of two different manta sites with professional captain and crew to show you some of the Big Island's most majestic sights: manta rays. The ocean's most graceful giants are attracted by our custom-built LED light board and come right up to our boat to say hello. Then they swim around and around us, like they're showing us their favorite places in the sea before disappearing into the darkness again. It's truly incredible!

After we've had our fill of swimming with these beautiful creatures, the boat heads back towards shore while we stargaze on deck under the stars (you might even see shooting stars!). It's truly the ultimate Hawaiian adventure!

The crew was fabulously kind and communicative. They helped prepare our wet suit and snorkel equipment. They discussed with intimate knowledge the nature of the mantas. They helped us into the water and did all the work while we floated and watched 5 mantas come to and through our lighted bridge, gently flying in the water just missing our bodies. The manta “Tim” (every manta has a name) was especially fond of us. Thank you to the entire crew for a wonderful experience.

The night snorkel with Mantas was excellent. The HA crew (3+captain) were also excellent. They helped prep and guided all persons so that we knew what the process would be for entering the water. We were wondering how cold the water however, each person had a scuba top to help with the cooler water plus the excitement and the site of mantas looping just below us in the water made us forget about the water temp. 1. Excellent trip, well worth the cost 2. Crew is really good and working with everyone. Very knowledgeable on marine life. 3. You will be in the water 30-40 minutes. Your arms may get tired or stiff holding on to the handles of the floating light table. SO RELAX. Switch hands and rest one at a time. 4. Enjoy the scene. It is amazing. 4. DO use the WARM water shower/rinse hoses after the trip is done. That really gets any chill out of you. You will thank me afterward. 5. Dont forget cash for tips. Tips, they said, get split between the entire crew.

We appreciate your thorough review!! The excitement of the night and our wetsuit tops do indeed help with warmth in the water! Our manta masters love sharing their knowledge and passion on our trips and we're thrilled you had a great time with us!

We had such an amazing time. We saw 20+ manta rays and had crystal clear visibility - not your average night swim we’ve been told! The crew was so welcoming and friendly; they checked in routinely to make sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. The boat was spacious and made getting in/out of the water so easy. This tour is the only one that stays later so you have more time in the water and more mantas coming to you (since you’re the last light source of the evening)! Highly, highly recommend. Was the absolute highlight of our trip.
