“It was perfect and beautiful! a manta ray brushed my stomach! It was a beautiful experience! Our guide was incredible! Bring towels and a coat for after!”
Watch wild manta rays feed after dark on a short Kona boat trip with in-water guides, small groups, warm water, and a free return guarantee.
“I had a great experience from start to finish. They guide you step by step and give very clear instructions. We did the 6:20 and saw many Manta-rays. I was a bit anxious but we were in the best hands and the captain and two guide members were incredible. Im so glad I did it!”
Swim with wild manta rays off Kona on a small nighttime boat tour, with expert guides, 25 minutes in the water, and a free re-ride if none appear.
“Boat leaves directly from the little dock next to Outrgger Resort. There were 11 of us and 3 staff … The captain, the guide Peyton and another life guard. I wore a wet suit top( $10) my husband went without. As soon as we entered the water we were greeted by these gentle giants as if they had been waiting for us. They were so big and came so close , probably 10 feet at least… you stay in the water for about 25 minutes which was just right…. Boat ride is only about 3 minutes which was great … Highly recommended”
See Kona’s manta rays feed under lights on a short night snorkel with gear, wetsuit top, safety guidance, and a wild-ocean adventure.
“Had a great time - check in was very easy (check in at their store front then drive to the harbor; instructions very clear). You get a wet suit top and a snorkel. The guides were awesome, both informative and fun. Boat ride is 3-5 minutes and then you jump in for about 30 minutes. You’re holding onto a lighted board that does take some upper arm strength. Our day was calm but I did get a bit seasick towards the end. You can always go back early (onto the boat) if needed and the guides will help. We only saw one ray but she put on quite the show…”
Swim beside giant manta rays off Kona after sunset, then warm up with hot chocolate and cookies on this 75-minute Sea Quest tour.
“Most unreal experience of my life ! I didn’t realise the Manta’s we’re going to come to close to you. The guides we’re so professional and really added a lot of enjoyment to the tour. Definitely recommend and will be doing again :)”
