Sunset Manta Ray Tour in Kailua-Kona
Overview
Experience an unforgettable sunset manta ray snorkel tour, consistently ranked among the top lifetime adventures in Hawaiʻi. We specialize in small-group tours, limiting each experience to no more than 10 guests in the water, unlike many operators with 25–50 passengers. The result is a calmer, more personal encounter with these incredible animals.
Check in directly at our in-water boat slip (G-8) for fast, easy boarding. After a thorough safety briefing, enjoy a smooth 10–15 minute ride to a prime manta snorkel site, followed by 35–40 minutes in the water with attentive, experienced swim guides.
Reboarding is simple with our wide ladder, and the return ride offers comfortable seating. Each tour includes 2 crew members for personalized attention. A minimum of 4 guests is required; if not met, we’ll coordinate a reschedule.
All-Inclusive No Hidden Fees. Snorkel gear, wetsuits, bottled water, hot cocoa and tea, snacks, plus all taxes and fees are included.
