We wanted to see these amazing creatures close up so I looked at the reviews and it seemed that SeaQuest had some great reviews, well add me to that list! SeaQuest not only has a great crew & boats, but the time from the dock to where you see the Manta Rays is about 5 minutes, which means that you get to spend your time with the Rays, not on the ride out. The night we went there were 4-5 Rays that stayed with us the entire 45 minutes that we were in the water. The Rays would glide along underneath us and then flip over and swim upside down within mere inches of us, occasionally making contact with us. We were able to see every nuanced detail of each of the Mantas. The SeaQuest team offered information about the Manta Rays as as a species and for each of the individual Mantas as they swam by. Incredible experience and we were thrilled to have gone with SeaQuest.

We had an absolutely amazing time with this night dive! We were fortunate enough to see about 7 rays and they were entertaining us the entire time, what a show. Captain Hope and the team were all very kind and knowledgeable and only enhanced the overall experience. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

If you are looking for an incredible excursion, than the Night Snorkel with the Manta Rays is worth every penny! We were lucky enough to get a perfect night with no wind, calm seas, lots of plankton (Manta Ray food) and about 6 Manta Rays swimming around us while doing barrel rolls inches under us. Caption Nick with crew members of Sam, Brandon, Emily and Natalie did an excellent job getting us to the perfect location to view the Manta Rays. While we were in the water watching the show, the crew members were telling us information about these gentle giants and knew each by name. We departed from Keauhou Bay (by the Sheraton) and had a short and easy 5 minute boat ride to the Manta Ray Village site. Several years ago, we did a night snorkel from the Honakohau Harbor and it took us an hour by boat to reach the Manta Ray site by the airport. We only saw one Manta Ray for a few minutes then we had to leave to get back to the harbor on time. It was a rough, cold and hour long boat ride back to the harbor. We spent more time on the boat ride then we did snorkeling. Keep in mind, the Manta Rays are wild animals and the tour guides can not guarantee you will see any. I did a lot of research before booking this excursion and found there is a greater chance of seeing the Manta Rays in Keauhou Bay then by the airport. In fact, there were lots for boats that come from the Honakohau Harbor (by the airport) the night we went snorkeling because there were few, if any, Manta Rays up by the airport. Many of the tour companies will let you go another night (if space is available) if you don't see any Manta Rays, so do this excursion early in your trip in case you need to go again. Bottomline: Incredible excursion and skip the long boat ride and take the tour with Sea Quest from the Keauhou Bay.
