Overview

The manta ray night snorkel was voted "one of the top 10 things to do in your life" by the Travel Channel! Experience the Kona manta ray snorkel yourself and see what all the fuss is about. You'll journey only five minutes off the Big Island's west coast to reach the snorkeling site. As the vessel's diving lights shine through the crystal-clear water, these gentle giants arrive to feed on plankton.  This is an event for those who are 7 years of age and up, and have had previous snorkeling experience and are confident swimming in the dark.

Seeing Mantas Up-Close just few inches below- was our vacay highlight & once in lifetime experience. Hula Hai boat, captain, crew, hospitality, care- all were fantastic. We saw Mantas swim below us for a couple of times in wild Pacific and those sights were incredible; captured on our memory lens forever!

Such an exhilarating experience! We were 3 women in our 50s and it couldn't have been better. Great crew, extremely accommodating. Fun fun fun!!

Great experience. Saw so many manta rays so close up and one even bumped me mid barrel roll. Crew was helpful and knowledgeable. Hot drinks and soup were a nice bonus.Was glad to have splurged for this tour as it was one of the few on a more stable catamaran, so my family didn't get sick like they would on the other smaller boats that were getting knocked around in the waves.

This is an amazing experience not to be missed. We saw lots of mantas and are so glad we went! I think if you were to pick one activity while on the Big Island, this should be the one. It's so unique and just incredible.

What an amazing adventure!! They literally come right up to you and are so graceful. One of the best excursions I’ve done.

We saw 9 different Manta Rays multiple of them touched us. This is a must do in Hawaii. Hands down .

This was one of the most amazing experiences I have had. We saw around half a dozen different manta rays, sometimes alone and sometimes swimming in groups. Some of them came extremely close to us, even inches away from my face. Some of them swam together, almost in synchronized fashion. It was mesmerizing. Keep in mind that even though wetsuits are provided, the water was quite cold. The staff was great about helping people that wanted to get back to the boat rather than spending the full hour available in the water although I recommend staying as some of the most amazing encounters we had were near the end of the hour! The warm soup and hot chocolate when we got out of the water were the perfect way to cap off the experience.

Seeing the manta rays feed was one of the most unique and incredible travel experiences I have ever had. The tour ran very smoothly and the crew was lovely. Highly recommend!
