Watch manta rays glide through Kona’s nighttime waters on a guided snorkel with gear, wetsuits, snacks, and an observation deck.

About this tour

As the sun sinks over Kona, the ocean takes on a different kind of glow. This 150-minute Kona night snorkeling tour pairs a sunset boat outing with the chance to watch manta rays move through their nighttime habitat.

After checking in at the Bite Me Sportfishing Logo and Charter Shop, head out with a professional guide to the viewing site. Once in the water, the guides use lights to attract the mantas, while snorkel gear, wetsuits, and swimming noodles help you settle in for the experience. Prefer to stay dry? Take in the action from the observation deck, which offers unobstructed views and room to move around. Bottled water and snacks are provided.

You must know how to swim to participate, and children need to be accompanied by an adult. Departure times shift with the sunset and are subject to availability, so call 24 hours before your tour to confirm your time. Book your Kona night snorkeling adventure for a memorable view of the ocean after dark.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.60 from 1,320 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 5.4.
