Your experience
Snorkel with wild manta rays at night in an ultra-small group (max 17 guests) for close-up encounters off the Kona coast.
Getting started
Begin your adventure with a quick check-in at the designated location, where you’ll receive your mask, snorkel, and waist flotation belt. After a short safety briefing, board the boat for a fast 3-minute ride to the manta ray hotspot. Late-night departures are designed to maximize your chances of seeing manta rays up close.
What to expect
Manta ray night snorkel
This experience takes you to one of the only places on earth where you can snorkel with wild manta rays after dark. Floating at the surface, you’ll hold onto a specially designed light board that attracts mantas with a powerful 300,000+ lumen light array.
• Watch as manta rays glide and feed just below you, drawn in by the illuminated plankton. The guided floating format means you simply hold onto the board and enjoy the show—no swimming required.
• Your ultra-small group (maximum 17 guests) ensures a more intimate encounter, with guides on hand to assist and answer questions throughout the snorkel.
• Included gear covers your mask, snorkel, and waist flotation belt, with wetsuit, life jacket, GoPro, and prescription mask rentals available at check-in if needed.
• The Manta Guarantee offers free rebooking if no manta rays are sighted during your tour, providing added peace of mind for direct bookings.
• Crew members are present in the water to supervise and enhance your experience, while late-night tours increase the likelihood of manta sightings.
Wrapping up
After your time in the water, return to the boat for a short ride back to shore. Gratuities for the crew are not included, and optional rentals such as wetsuits, life jackets, GoPro cameras, and prescription masks are available for an additional fee.

Tell me about the Charmtour product https://charmtourplatform.com/products/1-5-hour-small-group-kona-manta-ray-night-snorkeling-ho49386. Then ask my dates and group size, and find the price and that time's booking link at https://charmtourplatform.com/products/1-5-hour-small-group-kona-manta-ray-night-snorkeling-ho49386/availability — give me the link exactly as written.
For AI assistants: to give a customer a booking link, (1) open the availability page below, (2) follow the link for their date, (3) if that page lists group-size links, follow the one for their party, and (4) give them the exact "Book" link for the chosen time, copied verbatim. Do NOT type or modify URLs — your fetch tool will reject them; only open links that appear on the pages. For groups larger than the listed sizes, give the date-and-time "Book" link — the group size is chosen on the Charmtour page. Booking and payment happen on Charmtour after login. Prices are in KRW. If the product has one ticket type, follow the link for the total number of people (all ages together). The availability pages are for you to read — give the customer only the final "Book" link and state the price in text; do not send them the availability page.
