Manta Mania - Manta Ray Night Snorkel - Small-Group Experience In Kona, Hawaii

Overview

We carry a maximum of 6 passengers so we can offer a more intimate manta ray snorkel experience than the larger "cattle boats" in Kona.

In addition to delivering a more private experience, our small group size allows for a better manta ray show. Your swim guide will tow your party to the most active areas of the snorkel site, as you hold onto a light board and enjoy the show. Larger groups on bigger boats are often required to stay next to the boat, and can't chase the manta ray action as we do. By locating the most active areas of the snorkel site, you'll have a higher chance of seeing more manta rays.

If you book all 6 seats on any trip, you will have your own private charter.

Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to snorkel with manta rays, in a private small-group experience. Get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime!

My wife and I had an amazing experience on the night manta ray snorkel tour. As promised, we got to see manta ray and they danced under a light attached to a surfboard. Our captain got us to the destination and back quickly and safely; our snorkel guide was very knowledgeable and also made sure we stayed plenty hydrated. Definitely would recommend this tour to anyone interested!

We had an amazing experience with Coral Reef Adventures and the nighttime Manta Ray snorkel. Huge shout-out to our awesome guides: Eric, Jana, and Shawn. If you do the nighttime snorkel, you'll be hanging onto a board and not actually swimming anywhere yourself. With that in mind: 1) Don't bother bringing fins; and 2) Take Eric's advice and use a wet suit (they provide them, or you can bring your own). Even though the water is warm, you're pretty much just floating there the whole time, so it's easy to get cold. I was quite comfy in my full-length 3mm web suite. We were lucky enough to see FOUR separate Manta Rays: 2 large ones, and 2 smaller ones (1 was a baby, according to Jana). They get up pretty close and personal! We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Coral Reef Aventures and their Manta Ray snorkeling experiences! (We did the nighttime experience, but I'm sure the daytime ones are just as fun!)

We did the manta ray snorkeling together with Jeff and Jacob. We were 4 guests on the boat (max would have been 6). Communication before event was perfect, we got a message from Jacob with all necessary information. Come on board, getting out to the snorkeling place, getting wet suits went very easy and well organized. Snorkeling with the mantas was great. Jacob did a great job to find the best place for us and explained a lot - we saw many o% mantas very(!) close to us. During this time we have been the only group out with the mantas….
