The night snorkel was great. Appreciated the large boat compared to other tour companies who parked in same area of water but with much smaller boats. We have snorkeled before so in general not scared as potentially others with no experience may be. Safe experience holding onto a bar with a pool noodle under the feet. We stayed out for the full 45 mins. However if you only wanted to stay for 10 minutes or in general a short amount of time the crew was more than willingly to help bring you back to the boat. Crew very friendly. Hot chocolate post snorkel was great. Highly recommend even if you are scared of the idea of a night snorkel. Mantas come right under you. This crew will take care of you. Amazing!
The manta ray night snorkel was voted "One of the Top 10 Things To Do in Your Life" by the Travel Channel! Experience the Kona manta ray snorkel yourself and see what all the fuss is about. You'll journey only five minutes off Hawai'i Island's west coast to reach the snorkeling site. As the vessel's diving lights shine through the crystal-clear water, these gentle giants arrive to feed on plankton. This is an event for those who are 7 years of age and up, have had previous snorkeling experience, and are confident swimming in the dark.

By using dive lights that are safe for the mantas, you'll be able to attract and get close to the mantas. Unlike sting rays, mantas are very gentle and don't have teeth, stingers or barbs. These big and beautiful animals are truly amazing, boasting wingspans that can exceed 15 feet (4.5 meters) in width! They are completely safe to be around, so hop aboard for the aquatic experience of a lifetime!Duration: Not AvailableAdditional Information

We really enjoyed this experience. The staff was professional and knowledgeable. The boat ride was only about five minutes each direction. It was easy to gear up and swim out along the viewing platform. The Manta Rays put on a spectacular show! It was fabulous!

Absolutely, the best experience of my life. The most huge, graceful creatures. The crew, safety crew & lifeguard were great. We had around 7 manta feeding around us continuously. Absolutely spectacular. After getting back on the boat, we had homemade soup & roll, with delicious hot chocolate. Absolutely recommend, & would go again in a heartbeat. ❤️
