• 74 Kealakehe Pkwy - Experience the thrill of being part of a marine documentary with an up-close encounter with Kona’s magnificent manta rays. Observe these gentle giants from just inches away as they feast on phytoplankton and zooplankton attracted by our lightboard.

Hawaii Island is the only place globally that offers nighttime manta ray encounters with over 90% consistency. Kona’s manta rays perform a mesmerizing nocturnal ballet, executing barrel rolls at the water’s surface as they return to the same spot each night for their meal. This bucket list experience is a must for every visitor to Hawaii’s Big Island.

Kona’s wild manta rays boast wingspans that can reach up to 16 feet, which is impressive! Rest assured, they have no teeth, stingers, or barbs, and hundreds of people safely interact with the manta rays every night. Your swim guide will provide education on safely and humanely interacting with the wild manta rays and will escort you to the most active areas of the manta viewing site.

All tours include non-alcoholic refreshments, snacks, and a special treat. Please bring a towel and a cover-up to stay warm on the boat ride back to the harbor.

• Snorkeling equipment provided

• Please bring your own towel.

We cater to a limited group of just 12 members, ensuring a more personalized manta ray snorkeling adventure compared to the crowded boats operating in Kona.

Our small party size not only promises a more exclusive experience but also increases the probability of spotting manta rays. Our swim guide will lead your group to the most bustling parts of the snorkel site using a light board, enabling a top-notch manta ray viewing. Bigger groups on larger boats are often restricted to the type vicinity of their boat, unable to follow the manta rays as closely as we do. By targeting the liveliest parts of the site, we increase your chances of seeing more manta rays.

Booking all 12 spots on any of our trips means you’ll have an entire private charter to yourself.

Don’t miss this unique chance to swim alongside manta rays in an exclusive, small-group setting. Prepare to create unforgettable memories!
