Join us for an unforgettable evening as we take you up close to Kona’s incredible manta rays—without the big crowds.
Our Night Manta Snorkel is designed to be personal, relaxed, and unforgettable. With just 12 guests max, you’ll enjoy plenty of space, personalized attention, and unbeatable front-row views of the manta action.
Once in the water, you’ll float effortlessly on the surface for 30–40 minutes while holding onto our custom light board. Its powerful lights attract plankton, which in turn draws the mantas in close. Before long, you’ll be watching these graceful giants glide and loop below you—an encounter you’ll never forget.
Requirements: To join, you must be comfortable in the water and able to float on the surface with the assistance of a waist flotation device. You don’t need to be an expert swimmer, but you should feel confident using a mask and snorkel.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your departure time. We will meet at the pavilion near the restroom on the north side of the harbor. Look for the building with the brown roof located between the two boat ramps.
What to expect
Once we arrive, our friendly crew will share fascinating facts about Kona’s manta rays and guide you into the water. You’ll float comfortably on the surface while holding onto a custom light board, which attracts plankton and in turn brings the manta rays right below you.
Spend approximately 30 minutes in the water watching these gentle giants feed and glide beneath you. Manta sightings are extremely consistent year-round, but as these are wild animals, in the rare chance no mantas are seen, we provide a complimentary return voucher so you can join us again.
