Kona: Ihr Exklusives Manta-Nachttauch-Abenteuer!

Wir haben die 7:45pm Tour gebucht und waren begeistert! Haben etwa 18 Mantas gesehen. Sie kommen einem sehr sehr nahe, es kam zum Teil zu unabsichtlicher Berührung. Die Guides waren super und gaben uns klare anweisungen. Mit dem Wasserabzug war es weniger kalt als erwartet. Die Bootsfahrtzeit beträg 20-25min pro Weg, man ist ca 30min im Wasser.

Die Fahrt auf schwerer See. Leider haben wir keine Mantas gesehen. Allerdings konnten wir einige Wale beobachten.

Wir haben ca. 10-12 Mantas gesehen, es war ein unglaubliches Erlebnis. Die Mantas kamen so nah, dass Sie einen berührten.

Ausgezeichnete Bootstour. Wir waren nur eine kleine Gruppe von 5 Personen. Auf dem Weg haben wir noch Delfine gesehen. Der Leiter war sehr sympathisch und kannte alles sehr gut. Wir haben ganz viele Mantarochen gesehen. Danach gab es sogar noch cookies und eine heisse Schokolade. Sehr gut, nur empfehlenswert!!

It was a little slow, getting started, but more in a relaxed way. The boat was great for a night ride across the waves, and it was a beautiful scenery, even in the dark. The manta rays were absolutely fabulous! And worth every penny. Tyler, Josh, and the captain were all fantastic and guided us through everything. This set up of how to float in place while watching the mantis was really easy. Our whole family loved the entire trip! We would go again and we would definitely book with the Snorkel Big Island group!

This was one of the coolest things I have EVER done. We lucked out and saw about 20 manta rays on our trip out, and they were swimming around us, doing flips and barrel rolls, and even brushing up against us the entire time. It was pure magic seeing these massive, graceful creatures so close and so unbothered by our presence. Huge shoutout to our amazing guides — they were knowledgeable, fun, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable the whole time. And big thanks to our boat driver for getting us out there smoothly and keeping the vibe relaxed and upbeat. You could tell they all really love what they do, and that energy made the night even more special. If you’re in Hawaii, do not skip this. It’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that you’ll be talking about forever.

This was amazing. They take you out on a boat and then the move the boards that you are holding onto to the best places to see the manta rays. This really made sure we saw a ton. It was truly life changing.

This was a safe awesome experience in a small group of 15 people, perfect. . Very safe and had all the gear required . Love this company

It was an unforgettable experience! The clouds parted on our boat journey and we saw the Milky Way and a few shooting stars. The boat crew of 2, one captain and one snorkel/manta guide, kept us safe and well informed. Our group of 20 didn’t seem too large, and maybe it was the fact that it was nighttime and our group was fairly quiet and respectful. We snorkeled in about 20 feet of water, really just floating at the surface holding onto the lit board, which attracted plankton, which attracted the manta rays. After floating in the water for less than 5 minutes two giant oceanic mantas came up to the board and started feeding, in a swooping ballet type of graceful swimming with mouths open. They got very close to us, inches away, which was incredible. We felt very safe in the night waters, very close to shore, with the lights of the board and the snorkel guide swimming around us all making sure we could see the mantas, were doing okay, and having a good time. You do need some snorkel experience to do this comfortably to be able to have your face and mask in the water, breathing through your snorkel, for the short 30 minute float. As well as prior knowledge about manta rays and comfortability getting into the ocean with a group to see wildlife. I would also recommend accepting the offered wetsuit if you get cold easily. The water temperature in September was about 75°.

zero manta rays on the night tour very disappointing boat captain and tour guide were nice but i paid to see mantas expect some type of compensation
