A must-try manta ray snorkeling experience - The experience was truly amazing. There were so many manta rays that came to visit last night and we had a great time. Some of us in my party were non-swimmers and we appreciated the ride along option so they can participate as well. Our guides, Kels, Chase and AJ were very knowledgeable and we couldn’t have asked for a better crew to lead this snorkeling trip. Highly recommend Kona Coast Boat tours if you are considering this. We would go again!

“HERE MANTA, MANTA, MANTA!” - So many. It was amazing. The team was welcoming and the boat is no-frills but perfectly equipped to get you to your destination.
There is a small restroom, team provided wetsuit jackets to help keep you warm in the water, and pool noodles to help with floating. Bring you’re own towel. AJ did a great job answering questions and keeping us alive.

Can’t miss it! - Saw tons of manta rays, some came very close to the raft and it was amazing! Extremely unique experience, fun crew. Definitely bring a jacket or dry towels for afterwards.

Do it! It's worth every penny! - This trip was fabulous! We saw so many rays that swam right next to us. The captain and his helpers were so helpful and made sure that everyone felt comfortable and cared for throughout the trip. This manta encounter is at the top of my list for great experiences in Hawaii. On my list of all-time great experiences -- it sits right next to when I swam with manatees. Sign up for this, you won't be sorry!!!!!!

Amazing/ awe inspiring trip - Started off with an enjoyable boat ride, watching the sunset and final light disappear on the horizon. The set up at the snorkeling site was great and easy to manage and pretty soon we were inundated with manta rays coming so close to us as the were feeding - this was constant throughout the time in the water.
Many companies give this tour but what makes it so much more enjoyable is the crew - Lena, Alene (sp?) and Noel (the owner) were awesome - very customer friendly/ focused and helpful, full of information and happy to share! Thoroughly recommend these guys!
