Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel: Hawaii's Must-See Ocean Magic

This was an awesome experience, a little intimidating, but a must see. Dave, Greg, Jake and Deavon, were all super nice and have a great sense of humor. We saw about 8 Mantas, maybe more. Very much worth it!

Had a wonderful time seeing the manta rays dance in the waters on this excursion. Crew was great and knowledgeable. Believe the names were mahina, Greg, and ash? (the captain). Loved it and would 100% recommended.

Was great! Tour guides were all super friendly. My daughter was terrified of ocean at night and they helped her through anxiety to get in water and experience the amazing manta rays! Forever grateful!!!

Incredible experience! Loved the staff. Saw many mantas up close. I forget the board staffs name but I really hope you get your mermaid tail 💞

Recommend. We were the 1st group, 7pm, out on a 72 degree Friday evening. Everyone was friendly and engaging. You check in at a van, where you can rent wet suit tops for $10 and go pros for $40. They make you leave towels and anything not going into the water here. Then an easy short walk to the pier. Where you drop your shoes and get into a small raft type boat. You’re given snorkel gear and foot floatation ring. Slide into the water and a short swim to the light bar. 30 minutes went quickly, yet it felt like a good amount of time. We saw several mantas. One brush by our whole group. And a baby one. A really great experience. I was so busy looking I forgot to take photos. We did get some incredible Go Pro video.

Hands down the best experience we had in Kona! Deavon greeted us and explained everything patiently. The entire crew was kind and knowledgeable and was making sure we’re safe and comfortable the whole time. Soon as we got in water we instantly saw quite a few mantas swimming around - absolutely mesmerizing! This is a small operation but their price is fair and the small group experience was great. Highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking to try manta ray snorkel on the big island.

I’m going to give an honest feedback so you won’t be as disappointed as our group was. This company is pretty much running tourists as cattle. They say the tour is approximately 80 minutes…. You have got to be kidding me. We have pictures from the moment we dropped into the water until the time they said “ok time to get out” and it was 21 minutes. This tour group couldn’t care less about your experience and only about your money. They literally have you “check in at the van” and run tourist every 45 minutes. So the “80 minutes” they promise isn’t even possible. No one was all that friendly either. I felt scammed. Look elsewhere.

10/10 recommend. I did it with family and friends and it was such a great way to experience Gods creation, and the crew was amazing. Very friendly!

The tour was the highlight of our trip! It was very well organized from check-in to finish. The captain and the crew were very helpful and full of knowledge. My family including a 7 year old really enjoyed the tour and saw many manta rays swim in close proximity.

We were really impressed with the tour overall. It was a quick intro and set up. Instructions were overall well done and we saw about six or seven Mantas with a number of passes on the board. This is my second time going but my family‘s first time with my eight and 10 year-old. They were all blown away by how close the manta rays got. It’s a very unique experience. This is a very unique experience. I would highly recommend this tour company for families. I would strongly recommend going when it is completely dark for the best experience.
