Itinerary

approx 2 hr trip. 16 passengers max on 32ft Zodiac Manta Boat #1 or 30 passengers on 43ft Zodiac Manta Boat #2 Check-in takes place at the harbor where you will be provided with a wet suit and snorkel gear. Our company DOES NOT charge for wet suits. Snorkeling When snorkeling with the Manta Rays you will hold on to a comfortable bar attached to a large raft that has bright LED drop lights to attract plankton (Manta Ray Food). This makes it easy to keep our groups safely together as the mantas feed on the plankton underneath us. Your swim guides will keep your board positioned over the manta ray snorkeling area. All snorkel gear is provided. Hawaii is considered the #1 place in the world to view Mantas. The Manta Rays here in Kailua Kona have become conditioned where to go each night to find an easy meal; feeding on the plankton that is attracted by our underwater lights…which makes locating them easy for us! The Manta Rays wingspan can reach over 20 feet across and weigh upwards of 1,000 pounds. Viewing these creatures is a wonderful experience and one to remember

Started a bit late but the crew was incredible! Both friendly and helpful. Shout out to Maddie for some great humor to get us started. Scott, Lena, and Temae were also so great. Saw two friendly manta rays up close and personal! Would recommend!

Great experience! We loved the smaller group tour. We saw bigger groups at the manta watching site and I was so glad we were in a small group. Kris did a wonderful job as a tour guide and made sure everyone was comfortable in the water. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!

Fantastic experience!

We saw so many manta rays in one spot. They were dancing and so closed to us. Beautiful! The crew is very nice and attentive to you. It’s a small group and worth it!
