Nighttime Manta Ray Snorkeling Tour on Big Island for Experienced Swimmers
Join a guided nighttime snorkeling tour along Kona’s coast near Keauhou Bay to observe giant manta rays feeding on plankton.
Highlights
- Swim with giant manta rays after sunset as they feed near a floating light raft
- Receive hot chocolate and cookies to warm up after snorkeling
- Eco-friendly tour includes snorkel equipment, wetsuits, and flotation devices
Description
Experience an underwater adventure in warm, clear waters by protected reefs abundant with marine life. After sunset, enter the nighttime waters where manta rays perform a 'ballet' along Kona’s coast at one of the island’s most reliable manta viewing spots.
Your guide will provide all necessary gear including snorkel masks, wetsuits, and flotation devices. After a safety briefing, use the high-illumination blue water lights attached to your flotation ring to attract plankton, which in turn attracts the manta rays. Watch as these large rays glide close enough to see their feeding behavior.
Following the snorkeling, return to the boat for a complementary nighttime snack of hot chocolate and cookies to warm up.
