Snorkel with manta rays after dark on a small-group Kona outing, with a guide leading you toward active areas of the site.

About this tour

Watch manta rays sweep through the water on a Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel, a small-group experience capped at 12 passengers. With fewer people aboard, there is room to follow the action rather than remain beside the boat.

Your swim guide tows your group to active areas of the snorkel site as you hold onto a light board and watch the manta rays. The smaller group can move around the site in search of activity, offering a more intimate way to experience Kona’s nighttime waters. Book all 12 seats on a trip to make it a private charter.

Snorkeling equipment is provided. You must be able to swim without a flotation device, and a moderate level of fitness is recommended. The experience is not recommended for travelers with spinal or neck problems, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health; the maximum weight is 280 pounds per traveler. Bring your own towel and arrive 15 minutes early at Honokohau Small Boat Harbor in Kailua-Kona. Choose a date and get ready to see Kona’s manta rays after dark.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.76 from 401 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 6.7.
