5.00Great experience with the family! A lot of Manta Rays swimming around, underneath and in front of everyone. The Mantas illuminate under the light. Super rad. 7:00 PM was a perfect start time. Bryce & AJ were awesome hosts! Thank you! Highly recommend!
Overhyped and not fun

1.00Was okay experience. The waters are too choppy and difficult to stay stable and enjoy the manta rays. There were couple of them but not very close. An experience you can definitely skip
Must Do!

5.00Such an amazing experience! The crew was very welcoming with the commentary being entertaining and informative. The meeting spot was a little hard to find. So make sure you get there with some time to spare. Overall, one of the top 5 experiences my friends and I have had!

5.00On our last day in Kona, we decided to see the manta rays. Since it was a last-minute decision and we were a group of four, most tours were already fully booked. Luckily, Kona Coast Boat Tours had four spots available! AJ and Kelly took great care of us and made sure the experience was unforgettable. The manta rays were absolutely stunning, and being so close to them is something we’ll never forget. The boat was comfortable and even had a bathroom on board. They even had snacks and drinks for us, which was a nice bonus! The only hiccup was that the meeting point directions weren’t very clear, but AJ called us directly and guided us through it step by step. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, do it and do it with this company. They were incredible!
