Overview

What Makes your Manta Ray Night Snorkel Unique One of the only places on Earth to snorkel with manta rays at night—in their natural habitat Small group size (maximum 17 guests) for a personal, uncrowded experience—unlike other boats carrying 40–60 people Quick 3–5 minute boat ride from the harbor to the manta site (not 30 minutes each way like many other operators) Industry-leading light system with over 150,000 lumens of blue dive lights, attracting more plankton and increasing manta activity Custom light boards designed to keep you comfortably floating while mantas glide inches below Later tour times available, which statistically have fewer boats and more mantas Manta Guarantee — If no manta rays are seen, direct booking guests can rebook for free until they do (subject to availability) Staffed by a licensed captain, certified lifeguard, and trained swim guide for safety Run by a local, family-owned company that values education, conservation, and sharing the spirit of aloha

    Please arrive on time for the start of your scheduled tour. 40 minutes is allocated to prepare guests before going out on the boat. Short 4 min boat ride to the snorkel destination Snorkel time is 20-30 minutes. Our experienced Captains, swim guides & lifeguards are stationed at the viewing site, with light board, underwater dive lights, & dancing rays anticipating your arrival. All guides are highly knowledgeable, full of interesting facts & lifeguard/CPR certified. 13 persons ensures your safety & extra personal attention as needed. You will float on the surface of the water, snorkeling, while holding on to our custom light board for up to 30 minutes. The light board attracts plankton, and in turn the manta rays enjoy swimming close by in order to scoop up the concentrated accumulation of food in the lights below you. Prescription snorkel masks are NOT available.
