I have wanted to do this since I found out it was even a possibility! This tour was well priced compared to the other ones I researched. I was apprehensive booking the 10:20 pm tour because I was worried there wouldn’t be many Mantas after a night full of people. WRONG! We were the only ones out there and we had allll the ladies attention. They are big, otherworldly and wonderful. I didn’t feel unsafe with the guide or the mantas either. Put my face in the water and one was swooping by inches away! The only parts that freaked me out were when a manta got a little too comfy with me and accidentally rolled onto my arm and leg which was still super cool and jumping off the boat into dark water to swim to the paddle board which went against every little grain of Floridian in me (we don’t jump in water at night round here). I would do it a million times over. I still cannot believe the experience was real :)

Thanks for sharing Amber. We're delighted that we were able to help make your dream a reality and spend a night out snorkeling with you. Having the best show, on the Big Island, all to your self is an experience not to many others get to witness. Those girls (Kona's resident female mantas) really know how to show off and leave you in awe. (Keep pinching your self because ...yes it all was very, very real.) Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review and we hope to see you back out again. Aloha.

Quite an incredible experience to slide off the side of a boat into the ocean at night in Hawaii. To see these huge wild Manta Rays in their environment, it is well worth stepping outside your comfort zone. My wife and I were in a 10:30pm group with 2 other couples and we saw lots of Rays, queuing up to feed on the plankton the lights brought in. Absolutely incredible. Truly gentle giants and what an experience of a lifetime. The only difficulty that I had was just getting back into the boat, as the ladder system was a little painful on my sensitive Alaskan feet… a trivial thing!

Do not miss this if you are on the big island. Though there are other options for the same activity, was recommended 'Hawaii Island & Ocean tours' by a friend and it was an amazing experience. It is hardly a few minutes ride to the water and the experience was superb. Shout out to the crew for making this a memorable experience. They also helped us understand where to park, had some snacks after the activity. All in all, a great experience.
