Nightly Manta Ray Snorkel

Manta Ray Night SNORKELing

Manta Ray Night Snorkel Kona (Small Group – Only 10 Guests)

An intimate, unforgettable manta ray experience along the Kona Coast—designed for comfort, safety, and maximum time in the water.


🌊 Why This Tour Feels Different

You’re not joining a crowded boat.

You’re stepping onto a small, family-run charter where every guest matters.

  • Maximum 10 guests (no large groups or packed decks)
  • Forward-facing seating for a smooth, comfortable ride
  • Fast 10–15 minute trip along the Kona coastline before sunset
  • Experienced swim guides in the water with you the entire time

This is the difference between watching the experience… and truly being part of it.


🐋 The Experience

After a short coastal ride, you’ll arrive at the manta site just before sunset. 10-15 min manta ray briefing with pictures.

You’ll hold onto a custom light board while powerful underwater lights attract plankton—bringing in the manta rays.

Then it happens.

Manta rays glide, roll, and sweep just inches beneath you—drawn naturally to the light.

  • 35–40 minutes in the water
  • Up-close, respectful wildlife interaction
  • No touching, no chasing—just natural behavior

It’s quiet, surreal, and often described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.


🎥 Included (No Extra Cost)

Unlike many tours, everything is included:

  • Complimentary GoPro 13 photos & videos
  • Wetsuits for warmth and comfort
  • Hot cocoa after your snorkel
  • Snacks (chips & cookies) + bottled water

You leave with both the memory and the footage.


⚓ Easy, Fast Boarding

Skip long walks down docks.

  • Check-in at our in-water slip (G-8)
  • Step directly onto the boat
  • Quick safety briefing → depart within minutes

Simple, smooth, and stress-free.

Manta Guarantee

As manta rays are wild animals, our tours are subject to their natural behaviors.  While we experience a very high viewing rate, it is possible that our  snorkeling tours can end without seeing one manta ray.  You won’t experience that with Hawaii Marine Life Charters.

Enjoy peace of mind with our “Manta Guarantee.” If you don’t see a Manta Ray, you have the chance to rebook for free, ensuring you won’t miss out on this incredible spectacle. Subject to availability and certain restrictions apply. No refunds.

The Nightly Manta Ray Snorkel is not just a tour – it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in a realm of wonder that only the fortunate few have had the privilege to witness.
