Watch manta rays glide and somersault beneath the surface on a 1-hour Kailua-Kona night tour with an in-water guide.

About this tour

After dark off Kailua-Kona, manta rays emerge from the night sea in a graceful underwater ballet. On this 1-hour Kailua-Kona manta ray night tour, watch these remarkable animals glide close by, turning and somersaulting as they feed on plankton.

Bright lights attract the rays, while an in-water guide provides instruction. Masks, snorkels, wetsuits, and flotation are provided, so you can focus on the spectacle beneath the surface. Manta rays can span 12–16 feet and use their distinctive mouths and fins to collect plankton, making their movements especially captivating to observe in their natural habitat.

Meet at Keauhou Boat Harbor, by the public restrooms just past the boat trailer parking. Participants must be able to swim and climb the boat ladder unaided. Choose this Kailua-Kona manta ray night tour for a close-up look at one of the ocean’s most mesmerizing nighttime encounters.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide 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 7.1.
