What to Expect

As the sun begins to set over the Kona Coast, you'll board a fast, comfortable rigid inflatable boat built for small-group adventures. After a short cruise, your guides will help you into a wetsuit, review everything you need to know, and explain why Kona has become one of the best places in the world to encounter manta rays.

Once in the water, you'll hold onto a floating light board as beams of light attract tiny plankton from the darkness below. Before long, graceful manta rays emerge from the deep, performing slow-motion barrel rolls and effortless loops as they feed just inches beneath you. With experienced in-water guides floating nearby, you can simply relax and take in one of Hawaii's most mesmerizing wildlife experiences.

Back aboard the boat, warm drinks and snacks make the ride home even more enjoyable as you relive the encounter with your group. Complimentary GoPro photos and videos let you revisit the experience long after you've left Hawaii, while the small group size ensures the evening feels personal from beginning to end.
