Departure Point

78-7130 Kaleiopapa St, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740, USA

Please meet us at Keauhou Harbor, 30 minutes prior to your time of departure. When you arrive at the harbor, we'll be parked near the boat dock. Look for a white van with lights on top. It can be difficult to find us in the dark, so please call if you don't immediately see us.

Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Board your boat at Keauhou Harbor in the evening, allowing you to reach the manta snorkeling site just in time for sunset. You’ll get a short introduction to the feeding habits of these wondrous creatures from your on-board naturalist as you travel to the snorkel site.

Once you arrive, grab your snorkel gear and get ready to experience this one-of-a-kind natural phenomenon. Snorkeling is optional, so those who choose to remain on board are free to enjoy the sunset. Those who choose to snorkel will jump in the water and grab onto a ‘light board,’ which helps attract plankton to its glowing surface. A certified swim guide will be nearby to help in the unlikely event there are any issues..

Soon the mantas will begin their aquatic ballet, swooping and diving through the water as they feed on the plankton attracted to this site. When your snorkel time is up, head back to your original starting point. You’ll leave your trip with unforgettable memories of this unexpected natural phenomenon, plus complimentary photos of your experience.

An amazing experience. This was more incredible than anticipated. Hunter was terrific with sharing facts about the manta rays and keeping the experience safe. We will be returning to do this again on our next trip. This should be a “must do”… on everybody’s bucket list.

Justin, Taylor and Brent made this experience easy and extremely memorable. We had about 7-8 Manta Rays swim around us for the hour tour. The Rays got within an inch or less to your face. The largest ray was 12ft from wing tip to wing tip, AMAZING!!! For those like me who are nervous about ocean water, you are very close to shore, the guides are in the water with you and the boat ride was 3 minutes long. One thing I didn’t expect was the needle fish poking you a few times while floating (doesn’t hurt just a little ocean life surprise). The water was about 76 degrees and I would recommend the wet suit; I got cold the last 10 minutes. For half the trip I captured GoPro videos the other half I sat back and just watched. The reviews aren’t kidding when they say it is the top activity to do on the Big Island! Would do again.
