Watch manta rays glide and spin beneath the lights on a guided night snorkel, with an easy dive option for certified divers.
About this tour
As the water darkens, spotlights illuminate the ocean and manta rays sweep into view. On this 150-minute Manta Ray Night Snorkel Adventure, you can watch their graceful spins and somersaults from the surface or join an easy night dive if you are a certified diver.
Snorkelers float together on a custom-built board while lights shine into the water below. Certified divers spend most of the dive kneeling on the sandy bottom, at depths of up to 30 feet, with lights above and around them. A captain and snorkel or dive guide lead the outing, and snorkel gear is provided; wetsuits are available upon request. Lunch, snacks, fresh local fruit, and drinks round out the experience, with lunch options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and kosher diets.
Meet in the open parking lot next to the boat ramp, where the boats are on trailers. Book your Manta Ray Night Snorkel Adventure for an unforgettable look at these ocean acrobats after dark.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.94 from 280 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 8.8. Top 7% in Big Island of Hawaii means it ranks in the top 7% of tours in Big Island of Hawaii by this score.
