An intimate, unforgettable manta ray experience along the Kona Coast—designed for comfort, safety, and maximum time in the water.
You’re not joining a crowded boat.
You’re stepping onto a small, family-run charter where every guest matters.
This is the difference between watching the experience… and truly being part of it.
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.
It’s quiet, surreal, and often described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Unlike many tours, everything is included:
You leave with both the memory and the footage.
Skip long walks down docks.
Simple, smooth, and stress-free.
Many guests find us on platforms like Tripadvisor or Viator—then come here to book.
Booking direct means:
Same experience—just booked the right way.
There are plenty of ways to see manta rays in Kona.
Very few feel like this.
If you’re looking for a smaller, more personal, and more comfortable experience—you’re in the right place.
Small groups mean limited availability.
If your dates are set, we recommend booking early.

NIGHTLY MANTA RAY TOURS
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.
