BOOK THIS NOW!!! INCREDIBLE experience!!!

I booked this night snorkel via email the day before, and the team was incredibly responsive! Earlier slots were already booked, so we ended up taking the 11:10 pm time slot, the last group of the night! Check-in upon arrival was smooth and efficient. We opted not to rent wetsuits, and the water temperature was totally fine without them. Even though we were the last group, the guides were absolutely amazing and full of energy. They were so friendly, told great jokes, and shared fascinating facts about the manta rays. Getting in the water and seeing these beautiful animals up close was an incredible experience. Manta rays are viewed as powerful protectors and spiritual guardians, and I am so grateful to Nick and his team for the opportunity to swim with them in Kona, at midnight, with my soulmate. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Magical Mantas and Crew

I went with my husband and our two teens, and all of us agree, this was one of the most magical and amazing experiences of our lives. We saw 9 mantas, who performed the whole time (we were told they usually see around three). The crew, Koa, Max, and Taco were both very funny, but also safety-oriented. Book this tour. My only advice is that if you have long hair, tie it back, because it will fly in front of your face and you are not able to adjust it.

Fun

Peyton, Koa, and Jacob were great. Koa and Jacob especially are funny. That was the first time I’ve ever seen a manta ray live and they got so close I saw them so well and it was cool
