Captain Mike, Patrick, and Tyler were great and helped us feel comfortable in the water. We had a small group that linked up with one of the bigger boats but it only helped to see more rays with all the extra light. I usually feel pretty nervous in the ocean but the rays were incredible!
So many Manta Rays!

Absolutely loved the Manta Ray Snorkel experience with Kona Adventures! The sheer number of manta rays we saw was breathtaking — it felt like swimming in a magical underwater dance. The team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire adventure. Their expertise really enhanced the experience, and you could tell they genuinely care about the marine life. Highly recommend this unforgettable snorkel tour to anyone visiting Kona!
Epic adventure!!

Good experience with night snorkeling. We saw mantas and their friends/food. They looks huge, and you are about to touch them.
A Must Do with Kona Adventures!!

This was absolutely amazing!!! The staff is super friendly and always there to help with whatever you need. The wet suit guy that gave the intro was so funny and super informative!! The boat crew was amazing and the guy that was in the water with us was super helpful. We got to see a lot of manta's!! They literally came right next to us and did barrel rolls on our chests!!! My kids absolutely loved it!!! Definitely will book again with them!!
