An absolutely insane adventure. Definitely one of the coolest things I have been lucky to do! The team was incredibly nice as well!

We carry a maximum of 12 passengers so we can offer a more intimate manta ray snorkel experience than the larger "cattle boats" in Kona. In addition to delivering a more private experience, our small group size allows for a better manta ray show. Your swim guide will tow your party to the most active areas of the snorkel site, as you hold onto a light board and enjoy the show. Larger groups on bigger boats are often required to stay next to the boat, and can't chase the manta ray action as we do. By locating the most active areas of the snorkel site, you'll have a higher chance of seeing more manta rays. If you book all 12 seats on any trip, you will have your own private charter. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to snorkel with manta rays, in a private small-group experience. Get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime!

Fantastic night time tour with Cody, Cooper and Jeff! We did the starlight tour and saw six manta rays, dolphins and a shark! Family friendly for my 10 and 12 year olds and very informative. I chose this company for the small group size and less crowded water for their tour times. Would recommend! Highlight of our trip!

I can’t recommend this team enough. We hoped to see a few Manta Rays and ended up seeing over 30! The team was just great. Definitely recommend the small boat experience. A must do!

My son and I took the Manta snorkel with Coral Reef Adventures. This was my 4th time with the company. I realize the operators bought the name from the previous owner with whom I had done 3 trips to see mantas before Covid. This experience was very very different. First thing that was different was we were not offered a full wetsuit...only a jacket. Before we had full wetsuits. Also there wasnt a 'ring' of boats with everyone in their own spot above water like before. There was a lot of current and then the guide was pulling the light raft all around trying to find mantas. This motion combined with the current made it difficult to hold on. After a bit serveral of us were hanging on for dear life by hooking our arms around the hand hold with head above water. It was very painful for our arms. I wasn't sure I could hang on. There were no mantas.....I get that....they are a wild creature. We were offered another booking but after that experience I had to say not this time. We only had another day in Kona and they didn't go out the next few days. They said our names would remain in the system so we could come back anytime. I may try again at a different time of year. This experience was scary and painful. None of my three other trips were like this so don't know if it's the company or just the way they all do it now ie with no 'ring' of lights.

AMAZING!! We saw about a dozen rays. One came right up to our group and did 3 rolls within inches of us. Best excursion ever. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave us all sorts of information on the rays behaviors and habitat. FIVE STARS!!
