Overview

The Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour departs from Kona on the west coast of Hawai'i Island. Participants board the vessel and travel about five minutes offshore to reach the snorkeling site. The tour lasts approximately ninety minutes and includes the use of snorkel equipment, wetsuits, and instruction. Once at the site, dive lights are used to illuminate the water, attracting manta rays that feed on plankton rising at night. These manta rays can have wingspans over fifteen feet (4.5 meters) and are gentle, without teeth, stingers, or barbs, making them safe to swim near. Warm homemade soup, bread rolls, and hot drinks are provided during the outing. Full face snorkel masks are not allowed on the vessel. Participants must be at least seven years old, confident swimmers, and have previous snorkeling experience. Guests under eighteen must be accompanied by an adult. The tour is not suitable for non-swimmers, beginner swimmers, or those without snorkeling experience.

The manta rays feed most actively at night when plankton rises near the surface. Safe dive lights are used to attract these large, gentle creatures, which can have wingspans exceeding 15 feet (4.5 meters). Unlike sting rays, mantas have no teeth, stingers, or barbs, making them safe to approach closely during the snorkel.
