Cruise from Honokohau Marina aboard a 45-foot Zodiac and watch manta rays glide through the water on this two-hour experience.

About this tour

Set out from Honokohau Marina for a two-hour encounter with Hawaii’s graceful manta rays. A comfortable 45-foot Zodiac takes you onto the water, where you can snorkel or simply ride along and watch. The experience is suitable for children and non-swimmers, with snorkel gear, wetsuits, and flotation devices provided.

Your captain and crew are on hand as you enjoy the ocean and look for manta rays gliding beneath the surface. Snacks and refreshments are included, and English-language guiding helps you follow along. Adults who would rather stay aboard than snorkel pay the same price as children. Check in on the north side of Honokohau Marina, then get ready for a memorable night on the water. Book your Hawaii manta ray snorkel experience and see these remarkable animals in their natural setting.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.59 from 17 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Big Island of Hawaii
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.6.
