What happens on the day
Known for its warm waters, calm currents, and abundant plankton, the west coast of Big Island attracts beautiful manta rays all year long. During this incredible experience, you’ll swim alongside these gentle giants.
Your action-packed evening will kick off when you check in at Honokohau Harbor. You’ll be welcomed aboard a comfortable and spacious boat before sailing out into the deep blue sea. After arriving at the renowned snorkeling site, slip on your snorkeling gear and get ready to swim with mantas!
Using a large floating mat, you’ll admire the rays without breaking a sweat. Watch in awe as manta rays begin to emerge from the deep, their fins gliding gracefully through the water.
Finally, your fun-filled adventure will conclude as you sail back towards Kailua-Kona and sip on complimentary hot chocolate. The perfect ending to a perfect evening!
