What To Expect

Make your own way to Honokohau Harbor, making sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before the departure time. The exact location will be sent out 24 hours prior with directions.

Your nighttime manta ray adventure begins with a safety briefing before you don a provided wet suit and snorkel gear. Join your expert instructor in the water and witness the graceful manta rays, some with wingspans reaching 20 feet (six meters), as they loop around you, feeding on plankton attracted by underwater lights.

If you don’t see a manta ray during your trip, enjoy a complimentary second outing. End your evening back at the harbor.
