About This Deal

Highlights

  • True Semi-Private Experience: Not 20–40 passengers like many boats. More space, more comfort, and more personal guidance. See REAL GUEST footage on our website. Perfect for families.
  • Advance Reservation: Due to our extremely limited group sizes, advance reservations are strongly recommended.
  • Best Value Premium Experience: Our pricing reflects the elevated, personalized experience you receive. Here you are not paying for a product — you're paying for the lifetime experience you deserve.
  • Quick 3–5 Minute Boat Ride: Less seasickness. Maximize your time with mantas by departing from Keauhou Harbor — skipping long drives and extensive travel — less time boarding the vessel.
  • Guaranteed Manta Sightings: See mantas or come again free based on availability.

Wetsuits are highly recommended to ensure a more comfortable experience during extended night time snorkeling. Guests are simply floating on the surface and not creating additional body heat. They are available at check-in for an additional cost.

What to Expect

Enjoy Kona’s famous manta rays on a semi-private night snorkel with a maximum of 6 guests, creating a calm, uncrowded experience ideal for families and anyone wanting a more personal ocean adventure. After a quick 3–5 minute boat ride from Keauhou Harbor, float comfortably as underwater lights attract plankton and the majestic manta rays glide and feed beneath you.

What to expect media

Our USCG-licensed captains and CPR/First Aid–certified crew prioritize safety while guiding you through this unforgettable encounter, sharing endless insights about manta behavior and conservation along the way. The small-group setting allows for more attention, more comfort, and a truly memorable connection with Hawaiʻi’s gentle giants.
