The manta ray snorkel tours here have clearly left a lasting impression on visitors, with crew members like Captain Dan, Doug, and Janet consistently earning praise for their warmth, knowledge, and genuine care. The experience follows a lovely arc: a sunset boat ride out, snorkeling alongside manta rays that reportedly glide inches from your face, then hot chocolate on the ride back under the stars. Staff share fun facts about the mantas along the way, even calling some of them by name. A manta ray sighting guarantee adds real peace of mind, with the company arranging free repeat trips when the rays don't show. One reviewer noted that nervous or less experienced swimmers could have used more encouragement getting into the water, so if that's a concern for your group, it's worth flagging ahead of time. Beyond that, the vibe here feels genuinely local and personal, with crew that make you feel like family rather than just another tour group.
Absolutely incredible experience with Kona Style Manta Ray Sunset Snorkel! This was hands down one of the coolest things we’ve ever done in Hawaii. The crew was amazing and friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and made everyone feel comfortable from start to finish. Even the people in our group who stayed on the boat still had a great time watching the manta rays and enjoying the sunset views. The manta rays were breathtaking. Seeing them glide right beneath us up close felt surreal and almost magical. The staff explained everything clearly, made safety a priority, and truly cared about making the experience memorable for everyone. The boat was clean, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and the sunset over Kona was beautiful before we even got in the water. You can tell this company genuinely loves what they do. If you’re visiting the Big Island, this is an absolute must-do experience. We’ll be talking about this forever. 10/10 recommend Kona Style for the manta ray snorkel!
