Manta Mania - Manta Ray Night Snorkel - doświadczenie w małej grupie w Kona na Hawajach

Przegląd
We carry a maximum of 12 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 12 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!

Did two tours with Coral Reef, the night Manta Ray Snorkel came first. There were only four guests on the excursion which made for a very intimate personal experience. The boat is small but comfortable. We did experience some pretty hellish waves and most of us were feeling queasy. Spent a bit too long anchored (and not moving) near the Sheraton waiting for sunset and for our adventure to begin. The mantas did not disappoint as we encountered five on our snorkel including Big Bertha! We had plenty of time to interact with them before they moved on to the divers below which allowed us to view them from above, a nice additional perspective. Capt. Carl and staff were wonderful. Carl has the most easy way about him that makes everyone feel confident and assured no matter what their skill and activity level is. He responded very quickly to a problem I was having with my mask, and got me back in the water in no time! The following morning we did the dolphin swim and adventure. We found dolphins almost immediately and ended up swimming with a pod of at least 150. My partner perfected his timing and managed to went his way into a circle of about 150 dolphins all coming to the surface all about him. Fantastic! Decent lunch and snacks served and plenty of cold drinks. Again thanks to Capt. Carl for his expertise and wonderful calm helpful demeanor. His experience shows! Highly recommend both tours.

We opted to try both of these tours with Coal Reef Snorkel due to how awesome they sounded and the high reviews on Tripadvisor. I echo those ratings as we had a great experience with Ron Gittins and mate Natalie on both trips. My wife was scared of doing the Manta Ray trip - the idea of being in the ocean at night was disconcerting. But once we got there, she slid into the water and was not afraid at any point. The difference is that the ocean is being lit up with all the lights from the snorkelers and divers. With the glow sticks placed on our snorkel's for safety/identification, I likened the whole thing to an ocean rave. We had 10-12 Manta's on our trip. The free loans of wetsuits Ron provided was a great help as it kept us from being even a little cold and Natalie was in the water with us as we all held onto a floating ring rigged with lights pointed down. If you haven't already read about this, the lights attract the plankton which in turn attract the Manta's - likely the only place on earth where this experience can be had. Do this tour if you are on the island and at all comfortable in the water. It is a life experience. The dolphin snorkel was also enjoyable, but I would rank it second to the Manta's despite the higher price. We had an excellent trip, but I would expect it to be a little more hit-or-miss. The dolphins are wild and unpredictable, but we were able to find an agreeable pod of about 30 that hung around with us for a while. They didn't 'play' with us or any such thing, but also didn't mind us being there and we had a pretty close-up view. Ron tried hard to find the dolphins and also spent time looking for other sea life of interest. The smaller group made it easier to get in and out of the water quickly to get with these wonderful animals. Ron's boat only holds six passengers, but this is a good thing as he tries hard to give you a personal experience. He called me by name the whole time, and made sandwiches to order as well as his wife's near-legendary Macadamia brownies. I've uploaded a video highlight of each tour if you want to search for it.

Aloha It's good to hear from our guests about their personal experience on the ocean here in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. I appreciate all the detail of the charter from your point of view. It helps us to see from you eyes what is being experience by our new friends. Since we do it everyday, it's a common occurrence for us.But we don't want that to hinder your excitement of the activity. Actually, all of the crew at Coral Reef Snorkel Adventures love their jobs and love to share with our visitors the wonderful marine life here in the ocean. It really brings us a great feeling when we can deliver something that you may never see anywhere else. Thanks so much for letting us know about the great time you had with us. Captain Ron

We had an absolute blast snorkeling with the manta rays at night! Within 5 minutes of being in the water, I told my husband that this was worth the price of the flight to HI! It's truly amazing to see these beautiful creatures right in front of your eyes. You hold onto a ring flat out, like Superman, and yet I felt like some manta rays were brushing my chest! Someone saw dolphins but we didn't--keep your eyes out for them, too. We saw over 25 manta rays (April 8)! As far as using Coral Reef, we had a great time and it was nice to only have six passengers on board. But, all of the boats go to the exact same location. I guess one plus is that you're not tripping over a lot of other people in fins and masks on the boat itself. But, this is a small boat so if you get sea sick you may fare better on a bigger boat. A videographer rides along in this boat, and since she wants to be the first one back to shore to sell her videos to all of the customers from all of the boats, Coral Reef is the first boat to leave. So, maybe that's a selling point to you, to get out of there as fast as you can and get back to a shower and warmth. Snorkeling with the manta rays will be one of our top experiences ever and is worth every penny. Don't hesitate at all about doing this--you'll have a blast!!!!!
