Highly recommend Hawaii Island and Ocean Tours for the Manta Ray night snorkel. They limit the number of people going on the boat and in the water so you get a much better experience. We saw a ton of rays and our guide on the boat and in the water were very knowledgeable and super friendly. Awesome experience that is well worth every dollar. Also family friendly and completely safe. Boat ride is only a few minutes and you are staying in the bay the whole time.

Crew was super friendly and helpful. Boat ride to the manta rays was quick and then we spent the rest of the time in the water. Amazing seeing the manta rays rise to the surface to feed. We had 5-6 rays many of which repeated fed. Before we knew it, it was time to head back. Took about 60 minutes for the whole experience. 10/10 recommend.

We brought our special needs son to experience the wonders of Hawaii. This is an experience he will always remember. The crew and staff were AMAZING in their interactions with him. They made it possible for him to actually see the mantas. Highly recommend this tour and operators!
