Honokohau Harbor, Kailua-Kona, HI
The crew here absolutely makes the experience. Names like Captain Jeff, Cody, Alexis, Daniel, and Jake show up repeatedly in glowing reviews, with guests praising their knowledge about marine life, Hawaiian history, and genuine passion for the ocean. They run smaller group tours, which travelers love for the personal attention and less crowded feel compared to larger operations. The guides clearly prioritize safety while keeping things fun and educational. The manta ray encounters deliver on the hype. Guests consistently report seeing multiple rays (often 7-12) swimming incredibly close, sometimes within inches. Several reviews mention the crew going above and beyond, like canceling their last tour to take guests to a second location when conditions weren't ideal at the first spot. One enthusiastic visitor even booked a second tour on the spot because the first was so incredible. The only minor note: one tour ended 30 minutes early, though that seemed unusual. Expect a magical evening with knowledgeable guides who genuinely care about giving you an unforgettable experience with these graceful creatures.
I can't say enough about how incredible our trip was with our night Manta Ray snorkel with Coral Reef Snorkel Adventures. We went Sunday, March 22 at 8:15 pm. The team was amazing. So knowledgeable, professional and fun. Cody, Kin, and Alexis took excellent care of us. Every detail was covered. We saw approximately 6 rays. Cody told us all the things about each ray. I would highly recommend this company and this snorkel over and over again.
