Kona's Top-Rated Manta Ray Night Snorkel.

We provide everything you need for a seamless experience:

• Mask, snorkel, and wetsuit tops for comfortable snorkeling.
• Expert guidance from our crew, ensuring a safe and unforgettable adventure.

We're proud to operate two new premium vessels - each custom-built for comfort, safety, and performance:

• The Ribcraft - our 29-foot Ribcraft, similar to a Zodiac but larger, sturdier, and incredibly stable, with a spacious open layout that handles smoothly in all ocean conditions and is custom-outfitted for snorkeling, manta tours, and private charters.
• The Force - our 27-foot adventure vessel purpose-built for snorkeling and manta ray encounters: fast, maneuverable, and exceptionally stable even in choppier seas, with the same professional-grade safety gear, comfort seating, and smooth ride as The Ribcraft.
• Both boats are meticulously maintained and captained by our experienced local crew - offering the same luxury experience whether you're aboard The Ribcraft or The Force.

No - both tours offer the same amazing manta experience:

• Equal time in the water.
• The same small-group, premium service.
• The same expert crew and safety standards.

Every night is slightly different as these are wild animals, but all of our tour times offer an equal chance of seeing manta rays - we have the most consistent manta sightings on the island:

• Manta rays begin arriving at the site right around sunset and typically stay throughout the evening.
• Our first tour of the night kicks off just as the sun sets, offering a stunning view and an unforgettable start.
• Later tours take place in full darkness, which enhances the glowing underwater lights and creates an equally magical experience.
• No matter which time you choose, you'll be in the most consistent manta ray location on the island - and we'll always ensure conditions are right before heading out.

Absolutely. Manta rays are gentle giants of the ocean:

• They have no teeth, no stingers, and are completely harmless.
• Their wingspan can reach up to 15 feet, but they glide gracefully and are curious, not aggressive.
• Our guides ensure you have a safe, respectful, and memorable encounter.

Each guest must meet the following age requirement:

• At least 7 years old and under 70.

Our manta experience is an active ocean adventure, so guests should be comfortable with the following:

• Must be physically fit and capable of swimming 10 yards to the board.
• Climbing a rung ladder from the water back into the boat.
• Stepping up or down 12-18 inches to get on and off the boat.
• No pre-existing conditions that would make snorkeling or boating unsafe.
• If you have any questions, please reach out to us - we're happy to help decide if this tour is right for you.
• For your safety and our crew's safety: if you arrive without disclosing a condition and we determine you aren't capable of participating, we will unfortunately not allow you on board - and that ticket is not eligible for a refund.

Yes - basic swimming ability is required:

• You must feel confident swimming in the ocean.
• Although you're supported and floating the whole time and completely secure, we require this for your safety.
• Our experienced crew is always nearby to assist and ensure everyone's safety.
• You should be able to swim approximately 10 yards unassisted (from the boat to the light board and back).
• During the tour you'll hold onto a custom light board throughout the snorkel and be supported by a flotation noodle under your legs, making it easy to stay afloat.
• Our experienced crew is in the water with you the entire time, ready to assist and ensure you feel safe and supported.
• You do not need to be an advanced swimmer - just comfortable in the water.
• If you're unsure about your ability, feel free to reach out to our team - we're happy to help.
