If there is one tour you do while visiting the Big Island...This is the tour to do!
Hop in and Hold on as we take you to where all the manta action is happening. Departing from Honokohau Harbor a 20-30minute boat ride gets you to either Garden Eel Cove (northern manta site) or further south down to Keauhou. Slide in and relax hanging onto our custom-made light board to witness these huge, acrobatic, gentle giants feed on tiny pieces of plankton. Our experienced guide helps get everyone in the best possible viewing position to give guests an up close and personal encounter all while keeping everyone safe and comfortable. Afterwards, enjoy sipping on some hot cocoa and light snacks before heading back to the harbor. Be sure to look up checking out the stars and the city lights during the ride back. A night filled with magnificent mantas and fun memories is sure to be remembered.
