Manta Magic - Night Manta Ray Snorkel At Manta Village, Kona, Hawaii

Manta Magic - Night Manta Ray Snorkel At Manta Village, Kona, Hawaii

Overview

Avoid the crowds of the other "cattle boats" in Kona, and enjoy a small-group manta ray snorkeling experience with a maximum of 12 passengers.

This tour departs from Keahou Harbor in South Kona and enjoys a short 5-minute boat ride to our snorkeling site, Manta Village.

Your Captain and snorkel guide will educate you on Kona's famous manta rays and will discuss our safe and humane approach to engaging with the gentle giants.

After entering the water, you'll hold onto our lightboard, with your feet propped up by floatation devices, as the manta rays perform a graceful ballet beneath you. The manta rays filter feed on plankton that naturally gathers at the surface just before sunset, then accumulates underneath our lights. This is an opportunity to enjoy an evening on the water and watch in amazement as the manta rays glide around and dance for you.

We are proud to be a Green Listed company, and we take an environmentally cautious approach to our interactions with the manta rays.

It was amazing to just float and have these majestic creatures swim so close. The tour was a small group and our guide was very informative A must do!

The night time snorkel event was amazing. We saw so many Manta Rays. Our crew - Jacob, Ake and Maianna were so helpful and knowledgeable. This is a Hawaii highlight. Don’t miss it.

This tour was perfect. I had a hard time choosing between times, as some sounded earlier than I wanted and done too late. Ours was around 7:30 and it was perfect. Maianna was very welcoming and informative from the start and any nerves I had were instantly gone. Shawn, Ake, and Teyvin were great as well. They were all very passionate about the manta rays and did everything they could to ensure we got to see some. They moved us around and even brought us up to another crew to make sure. My boyfriend and I saw many manta rays all of which were incredible to watch and so big! The experience was amazing and I’d recommend this crew e wry tine for a wonderful time and dedicated crew, both to protecting the manta rats and to ensuring a quality experience.
