Overview

Have the opportunity to admire wild manta rays in their natural habitat on this evening cruise. Set sail after dark, when the manta rays come out to feed on plankton, and use a custom-made lightboard that attracts the rays. Float through the warm waters for up to 40 minutes, use your snorkel to watch as the rays swim and feed, and learn more about the majestic creatures from your guide.

  • Small boat lets you get closer without disturbing the manta rays
  • Certified in-water guides focus on a safe and non-intrusive experience
  • Snorkeling gear and a wetsuit are provided
  • A small group means more attention from your guide

What To Expect

Embark on a guided snorkeling trip in Kailua-Kona, starting with an easy meetup to collect your wetsuit and snorkeling gear. Limited to 13 guests, this adventure promises an intimate marine life experience and great access to your guide.

Set off after dark, the ideal time for witnessing manta rays in their natural feeding ritual. A quick, 3-minute boat ride takes you directly to a frequented manta ray spot, ensuring more time spent in the water, and less time traveling. The small boat enhances your experience, allowing close proximity without disrupting the rays.

In the water, enjoy up to 40 minutes floating alongside your guide to look out for manta rays in their natural habitat, using a light board to attract plankton, and consequently, manta rays. Then finish back on the mainland, right where you started, so you can continue your onward adventures.
