Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel
Kailua-Kona is one of the only places in the world where you can experience a Manta Ray Night Snorkel. This is a must-do experience during your stay on the Big Island.
At Hawaii Island and Ocean Tours, our goal is to get you as close to the Mantas as possible while keeping you safe and comfortable. Our professional guides help you get in the best possible viewing position to watch the Manta Rays dance around as you hang onto our custom-made light boards.
We know you want to spend as much time as possible snorkeling with the Manta Rays— not sitting on a long, cold boat ride. Hawaii Island and Ocean Tours is conveniently located just five minutes from the snorkel site so you can get the most out of your tour. If you don’t love boats or get motion sickness, our tour is perfect for you.

Most amazing experience ever. We got to see manta rays come up so close to you. The cherry on top was seeing a dolphin too.
