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.
