Overview
Swim among manta rays in a feeding frenzy during this unique nighttime activity in Kona. Slip into the dark water with your snorkeling guides and watch the 'manta ray ballet' as the giants appear out of the darkness to feast on the abundant plankton. Let chills run down your spine as these gentle, docile creatures, which can weigh up to 1000 lbs (450kg) and measure 16 feet (5 meters) across, swim just an arm's reach away. Use of all snorkel gear, wetsuits, and flotation devices is included.
- Swim with giant manta rays after dark as they feed on plankton
- Get up close and personal with these docile creatures
- Named one of the Travel Channel's 'Top 10 Things To Do in Your Lifetime'
- Use of all snorkel equipment, wetsuit, and flotation devices is included

This was the most exciting and educational Manta Ray session for me. I’ve snorkeled with Mantas twice before with other businesses. This, by far, was my favorite. Unlike my previous sessions, this was focused on snorkeling. The others had scuba divers and snorkelers. This one had a smaller party as well. One thing that I really liked was the floating board. The board was clutch because it gave comfort to my 13yo daughter, as she is not the strongest swimmer. The board was also great because of the lighting it provided. My previous experience was just with a flashlight. This board provided better lighting, thus more mantas. Not only that, the mantas came up close and personal. Four times did the mantas brush up on me. During this session, there were 6 mantas entertaining us with their grace. With that said, the workers were great. Mike and Michael were awesome, helpful, and informative. Mike actually assisted my daughter into the water. She was quite nervous, but he was able to calm her nerves. This experience is a one in a lifetime thing and I would recommend it with this company to everyone visiting the Big Island!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
