Join Iruka Hawaii for a manta ray snorkel at sunset or under the stars. Departing from Honokohau Harbor, you’ll board our speedboat KIBOU and cruise the Kona coast! After sunset, gear up and head to Manta Ray Heaven, a site only accessible by boat. Submerged lights called “campfires” attract plankton, drawing in manta rays to feed. Float on a lighted platform and watch these gentle giants glide and roll below. This Big Island night snorkel is calm and beginner-friendly, with lifeguard-certified guides supporting all ages. First time snorkeling? We’ll offer simple tips to help you feel confident before entering the water. After 45 minutes in the water, enjoy hot cocoa, tea, and snacks as we cruise back under the stars. Named one of the “Top 10 Things to Do in Your Lifetime” by The Travel Channel, it’s the perfect end to an unforgettable night. Family-friendly and open to all ages. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication an hour before departure. You’re welcome to bring food and drinks. Alcohol is allowed after snorkeling (no glass bottles). Look for whales from November to March. Private manta ray charters available. Book your Kona Manta Ray Snorkel Tour today!

5.00Wonderful experience! I was scared at first (night snorkeling in the ocean) but the team and captain were extremely supportive and knowledgeable about every detail. I would highly recommend this excursion, plus they took awesome videos of the mantas! We immediately saw 1-2 mantas and a total of 4 by the end. It was as beautiful! After mantas, the captain shut off all lights on boat and let us see and admire the beautiful night sky! Highly recommend!

1.00This was our second manta ray night snorkeling trip. The first trip was July 2025 with our daughter (and a different charter company). We were excited to share the experience with our 18 year old son because the first go around was SO good. What a disappointment. First off this company charges you for wet suits and life jackets on top of what was already paid. We opted to go without since we are decent swimmers and knew what to expect. Then they have you board a small boat stuffed with people and a very disorganized crew. The one female crew member kept walking over us (more like on us) literally. 2 or 3 mantas came near us, I’d say about 15-20 feet within the first 10min. All the mantas were hanging out around the other charters because they had much better lights w/float boards. We were literally hanging onto pvc that was zip tied to a surfboard that had holes drilled through it for the lights to sit in. We could hear all the other charters screaming and having a good time their crew was telling them facts about mantas, mean while we had one adolescent boy holding the line so we wouldn’t all end up bunched up against to boat. It was almost humorous how bad it was. I assume we were not the only people disappointed. We were one of the last groups to disembark the vessel and the tip jar was empty. We left a tip regardless, because the young boy Jack was working hard. Will never book with them again.
Breathtaking Manta Ray Adventure.

5.00So the crew was phenomenal in making sure everyone was informed, ready and comfy to see the manta rays, which was great for first time snorkelers and a refresher for others. Talk to the crew, they are a wealth of info and really cool. Would definitely recommend the wetsuit rental, it did get chilled after 45 mins. We saw some cool divers that waved back, and had a bubble veil from them, which was so pretty! Would book them again
Awesome

5.00There is a reason that night snorkeling with manta rays on the Big Island is considered a bucket list experience... it's nothing less than MAGICAL! Don't get into your head about jumping into the ocean at night... honestly, I'm terrified of deep, dark water. This didn't scare me in the least, though! I found myself to be almost blissfully relaxed... and so did my family (including our 8 year old!) If you're on the fence... just book it and get out there. You won't regret it!!

5.00Lena and “the boys” really made the trip fun and exciting! The music on the way out and back into port was great. We had an incredible experience seeing four different Manta Rays—definitely a bucket list moment. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Incredible Experience!

5.00This was by far one of the most amazing experiences me and my family have had. Night snorkeling with manta rays is truly an unforgettable experience. The crew: Lena, Diego and TrevoRRR were incredible and top notch. Don’t look any further and book with Iruka! They provided help to anyone who needed it and made sure everyone was safe on and off the boat. The hot chocolate, soda and snacks were a big plus. Also, the GoPro photos and videos they provided (Thanks Diego) was a great added bonus. At one point there were 7 Manta Rays swimming by our group. Great job by the crew with keeping us close to the manta rays. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting The Big Island!
