Manta Ray Night Snorkel at Kona, Big Island
jasminecO8703JT, Sep 2026
It’s as amazing as everyone says!
This was as amazing as everyone says! The crew got us in and out of the water safely! Was informative and we got to see a lot of manta rays mainly Kenzi, Janis and Santa Maria. They come so close and I got great videos. This truly is something you can only do on the bog island and I highly recommend. It started raining at the end of our snorkel session and that just added some magic.

Highly recommend Kona Snorkel Tours if you're visiting the Big Island. Five stars all the way! 🌺🌊🐠🤙
We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Kona Snorkel Tours day trip! From start to finish, it was an incredible experience. Deavon was fantastic getting us checked in and provided so much great information along with being funny! Rory, our captain, was excellent, and Jake, our tour guide and lifeguard was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. All three of them made the experience even better with the fascinating history, stories, and information they shared throughout the tour. The Snorkeling was incredible and saw many fish and a octopus 🐙 You could really tell how much they enjoy what they do and how much they care about making sure everyone has a safe, fun, and memorable time. The combination of snorkeling, beautiful scenery, and learning so much about the area made this a day we won't forget! Highly recommend Kona Snorkel Tours if you're visiting the Big Island. Five stars all the way! 🌺🌊🐠🤙

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel
James_C, Sep 2026
Otherworldly experience!
Magical and exhilarating! We rebooked after water conditions canceled our earlier trip; water still had some rough chop so I definitely advise Dramamine or something similar beforehand if sea or motion sickness is a concern. Despite the conditions, Captain Bryce and crew Ryan and Noah not only commanded the ship with ease but also helped convince my nervous partner to swim out (after my attempts failed!) The mantas were beautiful and enchanting, and I only wish I could’ve stayed in the water longer.

Morning Magic Kayak and Snorkel Adventure in Kealakekua Bay
marisagZ7026FQ, Sep 2026
Amazing experience
This was truly an amazing experience. Evan and Logan were incredible guides, provided detailed history and knowledge. The kayak over was absolutely beautiful and the snorkeling was really great (even though the visibility wasn't that perfect from the previous storm). Highly recommend!The only thing I would note is that they asked about dietary restrictions of which I have a gluten intolerance, I was given a garden salad for lunch and unfortunately the fork was accidentally forgotten. I would suggest in the future sourcing a lettuce wrap (if gluten free bread / wraps are unavailable) similar to the sandwiches so its a more on par experience considered it was included in the price.
