The crew was incredible! Super chill and fun, with great music and drinks. They shared some hawaiian history and cultural facts, as well as manta ray education. They worked hard to make sure everyone was comfortable and had a great time. The manta rays were magical! So cool to see them up close in their natural environment. An incredibly unique experience and an absolute “must do” for anyone coming to The Big Island!

This was an once-in-a-lifetime experience and must do adventure when you are visiting Kona! The rays get very close to your face and then flying away gracefully. It's an exceptional experience you should not pass up! The crew were professional, knowledgeable and fun. They kept us safe and made sure we all have a great time. They even provided prescription snorkeling masks for my husband and my oldest as they both have poor eyesight and the regular masks won’t fit if they wear glasses. I was pretty nervous about getting into the ocean due to an incident that happened years ago. One of the crew members took time talked with me during our ride before we get to the manta ray area. It really helped to ease my fear and I truly had a wonderfully time! If you're going to do a manta ray snorkel, I highly suggest you do it with Kona Style. P.S. If you have a GoPro, don't forget to bring it with you!

Hello! There's so much to appreciate about this review. The first is that you took the time to share your experience; thank you. The crew puts their heart into delivering an exceptional experience on each and every trip and it means a lot to us that you've taken notice of their hard work. We commend you for facing your reservations about getting in the water... at night... with large ocean creatures. It took incredible courage. All we did was coax it out a bit 🙂 We're glad that you had a wonderful time and we thank you and your family for trusting us with this manta ray snorkel experience. Aloha - The Kona Style Ohana. We do also rent GoPros, but we encourage guests to not get too hung up on capturing top notch video and be sure to just enjoy the experience! You can always find videos on our social media channels.

Fabulous sunset sail and manta ray snorkel. Crew was wonderful and knowledgeable about the area, sailing, snorkeling and the manta rays. Saw three rays as soon as we entered the water and many more throughout the trip! Have already recommended them to friends and family and would definitely go again next time we’re in Kona.

Thank you so much for this glowing review and those recommendations! This is the lifeblood of our operation. We're so happy that you had a great time and saw many mantas! Since they are wild, we can't guarantee our guests will see lots of manta rays every evening, but we do guarantee that our guests will get to see manta rays or we will rebook you (pending availability). Mahalo for choosing Kona Style. Aloha - The Kona Style Ohana.
