1.5 Hour Small Group Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkeling

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.
