No providers in Kona offer free swimming or snorkeling with the manta rays. The powerful lights attract photosynthetic plankton toward the group, and the manta rays come in search of the plankton! We will reposition the group as needed for optimal manta ray viewing! Simply hang on to the handles and effortlessly float, face down, with the help of the provided floatation devices.

A professional guide will be in the water with guests at all times! While guests watch for manta rays, we keep the Light Board in position. Guests will then be guided into the water and positioned along the perimeter of our Light Board. Your professional guides will provide a safety briefing, instructions on using snorkel gear, and fit the group with wet suit tops to keep you warm in the water. Guests will join us on a 5-10 minute ride on our Hawaiian double-hull canoe to the manta ray snorkel site near the mouth of Keauhou Bay (1/4 mile from the pier).
Glimpse how ancient Hawaiians navigated vast oceans as you ride in our traditional double-hull canoe. Multiple tours per night often means we have last-minute booking options. Our tour still includes as much snorkeling time as others, but you’ll have the rest of your evening. You’ll only be cold and wet for a few minutes after the snorkel before you’re back at your car. We launch from Keauhou Pier, just a 5-minute ride to and from the snorkeling site.
Loading/unloading takes just a few minutes, giving you more time for the good stuff. The whole group can hear instructions and manta ray education during the experience. We move freely from our canoe to find optimal manta viewing. Each seat is its own space we don’t pack you in like sardines. Our professional crew has eyes on you and your family at all times. Our small group sizes (<13) enable our crew to assist each guest, answer questions, and calm nerves. We call them by name, respect their space, and educate our visitors. You have your pick of many providers for manta ray snorkeling. You’re unlikely to find another activity providing an incredible adrenaline rush while being safe and low-risk! Manta ray snorkeling will give you an unforgettable sensation. Our manta ray night snorkel experience is an activity that can only be had in a few locations around the world one of them is here on the Big Island of Hawaii. Regarded by the Travel Channel as one of the most thrilling experiences on Earth, join us as we watch magnificent manta rays glide through the ocean in search of dinner! They can weigh more than 1,000 lbs and span more than 15 feet! Don’t worry manta rays only filter feed on plankton.
