Amazing Manta Ray experience
Amazing manta ray night snorkeling experience! Deavon was our host and communication was great, with advance notice before we headed to the meeting area. We saw 3–4 manta rays swim just inches away from us. It was incredible to see these gentle giants up close! The crew was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and Greg did a great job educating us and answering our questions, making the experience truly unforgettable. Definitely worth the money! Tip: expect a possible delay in the start time, but they’ll let you know in advance, and definitely bring a waterproof phone case. From meeting time to the boat was about 45 mins. Then we spend 20-30 mins in the water.

Sunset Manta Ray Tour in Kailua-Kona

Magical experience!
Absolutely magical experience being mere inches away from Manta Rays! Cannot recommend Hawaii Marine Life Charters enough. Definitely encourage booking with them directly!! They were communicative, knowledgeable, and made our experience so fun. We loved the small group size that made the trip feel more intimate. The tour was exactly the right length and it was worth every cent! Captain Mitch & Bobby were excellent!! We felt so safe and taken care of and it was clear they went above and beyond to give us a wonderful experience, especially since the weather is unpredictable and the majestic Manta rays are wild animals! We saw SO many mantas - at one point I couldn’t even see the ocean floor there were so many in our life of sight. It was the highlight of our trip and one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The hot chocolate and snacks on the boat ride home were the perfect way to end such a euphoric experience. To top it all off, we even got to take home photos and videos of the mantas swimming right up underneath us and barrel rolling - what a treat! Thank you so much!!!

Majestic and Breathtaking Experience
This is a once in a lifetime experience. The crew was great and did a nice job with setup! The manta rays came within inches literally while they fed! It was a little startling how close and majestic all in the same breathe. Such amazing beauty. This really is a must do.

Best experience on the Big Island!
​Seeing the manta rays up close was the highlight of our trip! Snorkeling Big Island is a wonderful family-owned company that keeps group sizes small, which made us feel so well cared for. ​Captain Dylan, Elion, and Billy were outstanding guides. Billy was incredible with my daughter—she was terrified at first, but his encouragement made her feel safe enough to enjoy it. The rays came so close, almost touching us! An unforgettable experience and a absolute must-do for anyone visiting!
