BIG ISLAND MANTA NIGHT SNORKEL

Big Island Manta Snorkel Experience

The Big Island manta snorkel is a captivating night snorkeling adventure departing from Waimea. Guests meet at the Kawaihae South Boat Ramp and check in 30 minutes before the sunset-dependent departure time. The tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours and offers an unforgettable chance to observe wild manta rays in their natural habitat.

Snorkeling with Wild Manta Rays

After anchoring in about 20 feet of water over a sandy bottom, guides provide instructions on how to interact respectfully with the manta rays. Participants then don their snorkeling gear and enter the water to witness these majestic creatures performing somersaults close enough to touch. Manta rays have the largest brain of all fish, and guests learn fascinating facts about them during the tour.

Additional Highlights

While enjoying the Hawaiian sunset and soft music on board, guests are treated to hot chocolate and snacks after snorkeling. On the return trip, the starlit sky and possible bioluminescence add to the magical atmosphere. The tour maintains a 90%+ success rate for manta ray sightings, though these are wild animals and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
