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

It had been one of my dream to swim with Manta Rays and now that dream came true ! Thanks to the amazing crew of Kona Ocean Adventure, who took care of us perfectly. We had the Mantas right below us, coming so close for us to observe and admire. In addition : hot shower, pineapple, fresh towel and hot choco once you get out !

Connor and Johnny were fantastic hosts and guides. They were very knowledgeable and very friendly. Unlike the many other boats that were at the site, our tour was a small group vs boats that were packed. We are going back for a snorkelling trip today!!
