Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel— Small Group - Wetsuit Included

It was great. Would love to come back. Kris, the captain, and Mana, his lead host, were great. Because there a multiple companies meeting at the same, it gets confusing a bit but if you sit tights Kris will come around. This one starts a bit later than others but it's worth it. Afternyou sign the waiver on paper, which Kris brings around, you don't have to sign an online one. Slow cruise out to the ocean... And then it speeds up. Great experience. Look straight, the sunset, the horizon.... Look down, large friendly Mantas swim around in the light. Look up, ths stars are plenty and can see airports touch down on the run way. It was amazing. On your way, look down in the ocean... You'll see lights in the water... More Mantas. Snacks and drinks are provided by the captain. Kris is very informative, courteous, friendly and nice. Mana, just as helpful and friendly. Then you say your goodbyes, until next time....

Mack and Captain Chris provided an unforgettable experience. An easy boat ride about 20 minutes out and then the floating device was out and we were in the water very quickly. We could see mantas in the water before we even entered the ocean. The mantas engaged very quickly and were incredible to experience and watch. Mack prepared us for how to behave in the water to keep us and the mantas safe. If you are wondering if this is worth it, it absolutely is. Experience of a lifetime with this crew specifically!

This was FANTASTIC! Mack and Kris were incredible guides, they made our small group experience truly special. We had snorkeled with another operator the night before, and while that was good, this experience was even better. Mack was great with coaching our kids (ages 12, 10, 7) in the water to make sure they were having a great experience. Captain Kris was very communicative, reached out by phone ahead of the trip to make sure we knew where to meet them, what to bring, etc. This was so much more relaxed than our first Manta snorkel the night before on the south side of Kona, which was so crowded with so many people and so many operators in one sna area it felt like chaos — but this tour left from the marina on the north side which was so much more relaxed. And we had an incredible manta experience, during the 45 mins we were in the water it was basically a nonstop manta acrobatic performance with up to six mantas at one point all doing barrel roll after barrel roll right beneath us. The kids loved the boat ride almost as much as the snorkeling. We would definitely recommend this experience!

This was an absolutely amazing. They took us to the south location which was about a 20 minute boat ride. Once there we got in the water and there were so many mantas I counted at least 9. They don’t use the same blue lights as the other tours they use white but I kinda feel like it attracted them better. We had mantas all over the entire time we were there. Thank you for an experience my family will never forget. You guys are awesome. The Richard family.

Amazing experience! Highly recommend this. A must for anyone that enjoys sea life. Mac and Kris were great guides and lots of fun!

No safety briefing on boating - were their life jackets somewhere? The captain showed up with boat 1 hour late. The deckhand gave us a good briefing on snorkel equipment and do and din’t in the water. The weather prevented the Captain from getting to destination. We went 1/2 way by boat in 7-ft swells before the Captain decided with input from crew and clients to turn back. Disappointed but no one blamed captain or company for the weather. my low teview had to do with the captains timliness.

This was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Seeing the manta rays swim below us was breathtaking, especially when they barrel-rolled! Our guide Mark was fantastic, as was Captain Chris! We loved the small group part of this and appreciated how well taken care of and safe we felt.

Kris and Tori were great. Picked the right spot for us and we saw a lot of mantas! They shared that leaving from where we did, we had a legit choice of two locations. If we had chosen a tour that started to the south they would not have been able to go to a more northern spot because it would have been too long a ride. Tori was super helpful with a few of the guests who got seasick; she really took care of them and helped them settle. I had a GoPro with me and she offered to take it under the platform for some different angles.

It was absolutely fantastic event, highly recommended. Incredible to see Manta rays so close and naturally. Kris and his team are very professional and friendly. Thx for letting this happen.

Awesome experience with Chris and Torri from Ocean Adventures. They had the whole trip planned well, no rush experience giving enough time.
