Manta Ray Night Snorkel Adventure

Overview

For snorkelers, we will be floating on the surface as a group on our custom built board with spotlights pointing down on these creatures swimming below. Watch as these beautiful creatures glide beneath you, performing somersaults and spins. For the certified divers, this is a really easy night dive, we will mostly be kneeling in the sand at the bottom of the ocean no deeper then 30 feet with lights above and around us.

This adventure includes all gear (mask, snorkel, fins, wet suit if requested), snacks, beverages and a delicious lunch. Also provided sunscreen and towels.

What To Expect

Kona Ocean Adventures

Sunset Manta Snorkel : If you want to scuba dive, please contact us direct Snorkeling or diving this close to Manta Rays is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Listed as one of the Top ten Dive sites in the world according to National Geographic, the Kona Coast of Hawaii is perhaps the best place on earth to do this amazing activity. Manta Rays are gentle giants and among the most elegant creatures in all of nature. We will take you to a spot where they gather to feed in the evening. Our lights attract the plankton, and in turn the Manta Rays as they feed on these microscopic organisms. Sounds exiting? That’s because it truly is. Manta Rays are completely harmless. For snorkelers, we will be floating on the surface as a group on our custom built board with spotlights pointing down on these creatures swimming below. Watch as these beautiful creatures glide beneath you, performing somersaults and spins

We just did the most incredible snorkel trip with Captain Troy and Kate. They were so knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. We were so incredibly impressed with them and the whole company - the experience was incredibly personal and I cannot think of a single thing I would improve upon! We saw dolphins and a whale while going to the snorkel site and an octopus and so many other amazing fish while at the most beautiful snorkel site! Highly recommend booking with them!

We went diving with Jana and couldn’t have had a better experience! We haven’t been diving since pre-covid, and Jana ensured we were comfortable with ourselves and our gear. We also got a close encounter with Frank, the local moray eel, and several manta rays. It is a must-do experience if you are a diver!!

We had an awesome time on our Sunset Manta Snorkel with Kona Ocean Adventures. Our all-star team of Johnny, Justin, and Joe made our adventure very enjoyable. The sunset from the boat was beautiful as we approached the snorkel area. The boat ride over was less rough than expected, which was a pleasant surprise. Upon arrival, the crew set up the boards for us, and almost immediately, we had manta rays approaching. We quickly jumped in and had a wild experience as the massive manta rays barrel rolled just inches away, feeding on plankton. The crew was super engaging and energetic, making the entire trip exciting. After our snorkel, we were offered a hot shower and served some delicious pineapple and hot chocolate. Overall, the trip was a stand-out of our vacation, and we would recommend it to anyone visiting Kona as a must-do. The Triple J's (Johnny, Justin, and Joe) made it an epic memory!
