My Kona Adventures offers unforgettable ocean experiences on Hawaii’s Big Island, from magical manta ray night snorkels to daytime snorkeling and seasonal whale watching. Known for friendly, knowledgeable guides and a strong focus...
Manta ray night snorkeling here consistently earns rave reviews, with guests regularly spotting anywhere from 3 to 11 rays swimming within arm's reach. The crew, including guides like Taco, Jacob, Peyton, and Captain Koa, bring genuine enthusiasm and expertise to every tour, sharing fascinating details like the fact that each ray has a unique spot pattern and a name the guides know personally. The operation runs smoothly and punctually, and the staff earns frequent praise for making nervous first-timers feel comfortable in the water. Families with kids, solo travelers, and large groups all report great experiences. The water is cold, so renting a wetsuit is worth considering. Beyond that, there's very little to fault here. Nearly every reviewer calls this a trip highlight, and many say it was the best experience of their entire Hawaii vacation.
Bucket list type experience. Staff were friendly, funny, and accommodating. It's a short boat ride and a few paddles to the action. You get a really good, clear view of the manta rays and they get really close. It's a little intimidating at first but super cool and amazing once you're used to the gental critters reverse dive bombing you :) 10/10 would recommend. This was a highlight of our trip across 4 islands and 2 weeks in Hawaii
