Manta Magic: Small-Group Manta Ray Night Snorkel in Kailua Kona
Tổng quát
1 giờ
Vé di động
Avoid the crowds of the other "cattle boats" in Kona, and enjoy a small-group manta ray snorkeling experience with a maximum of 12 passengers.
This tour departs from Keahou Harbor in South Kona and enjoys a short 5-minute boat ride to our snorkeling site, Manta Village.
Your Captain and snorkel guide will educate you on Kona's famous manta rays and will discuss our safe and humane approach to engaging with the gentle giants.
After entering the water, you'll hold onto our lightboard, with your feet propped up by floatation devices, as the manta rays perform a graceful ballet beneath you. The manta rays filter feed on plankton that naturally gathers at the surface just before sunset, then accumulates underneath our lights. This is an opportunity to enjoy an evening on the water and watch in amazement as the manta rays glide around and dance for you.
We are proud to be a Green Listed company, and we take an environmentally cautious approach to our interactions with the manta rays.

Cần Quan Tâm
Come aboard the Pueo Kai 2, and enjoy a small-group manta ray snorkeling experience with up to 12 passengers. Snorkeling with Kona's famous manta rays is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that The Travel Channel called "one of the top 10 things to do in your lifetime." After a quick 5-minute boat ride, we'll arrive at the aptly named "Manta Village." You'll enter the water as Kona's famous manta rays feed on plankton accumulating under our light boards. The manta rays may fly by our light boards as they feast on plankton, and they may even hang around and do "barrel rolls" beneath us, as they come back for more and more plankton. Every night is different. After 30-45 minutes in the water, depending on sea conditions and manta ray feeding behavior, you will be guided back to the boat. We see manta rays about 92% of the time. While we expect to see them every night, manta rays are wild animals and they do take nights off from Manta Village about 8% of the time. If this happens, we will offer you a free trip on any available charter. Since our tours typically sell out several days in advance, we recommend you book this tour as early as possible during your stay on Hawaii Island.

5.00The experience was awesome - we calmly waited for the mantas to appear and then let them do their thing. They got up close and personal - Queenie brushed past me several times. Sarah was very informative. We loved it.

5.00Absolutely recommend! This was a once in a lifetime experience. The boat ride is quick to the manta ray viewing. A great size (smaller) group of people 10-12 on this excursion. Words cannot describe the magic of viewing these amazing beings. They have so much personality and were very hungry. Sara our in water guide knew all of them by name and gave a great narrative while we watched with amazement. Justin was a friendly and confident captain and Hailey was also helpful in getting everyone ready to get in the water as well as getting out of the water in the end. Best for people comfortable swimming and who can relax floating in the ocean to get the most out of this experience. This crew cares about the safety of the rays and the safety of everyone on board. The host was also extremely helpful and friendly, Karleen (I think was her name). Don't hesitate book your tour today! Note: If you are prone to motion sickness take the appropriate precautions.
Amazing fun with a great outfit!

5.00We had a fantastic experience with an amazing crew. Christine was an excellent host and the crew of Justin, Ake, Eliza made the outing so much fun. The information Ake provided and the beauty of these creatures was something special. We had a group of 10 people for work and everyone had a blast. Highly recommend this trip and with Hawaii Oceanic!

5.00This excursion was a once in a lifetime experience. Prior to entering the water the captain and crew prepared the guests well for what was to transpire amongst the mantas. We were fortunate to have several of the mantas "play" with us, diving, gliding, and swimming throughout our group. Our emotions were ones of awe, giddiness, and wonder. The whole experience was magical. Thank you, Hawaii Oceanic!
Best experience with this company
