After sunset, immerse yourself in warm Pacific waters for an experience unlike any other- a feeding frenzy among gentle giants. Aboard one of Kona\u2019s most unique tours, guests are shuttled into the night seas for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to swim with graceful manta rays. Once you arrive at your swimming destination outside of Keauhou Bay, spotlights are pointed into the deep to attract plankton, which in turn attract the rays. Accompanied by a Coast Guard-certified crew, guests simply float above these mammoth creatures and watch the unforgettable show.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Manta Rays<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Although massive, manta rays pose no threat to humans. These creatures can weigh up to 1,000 lbs and have a wingspan of up to 16 feet. Despite being so huge, mantas feed off of microscopic organisms called plankton. In Hawaiian, manta rays are called \u201chahalua\u201d, and the Kona coast is the only place in the world where you can view these graceful giants via tour at night!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>What&#8217;s Included<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>In addition to an experience of a lifetime, this tour provides all the fixings for a comfortable nighttime adventure. Although warm in comparison to other places in the world, the nighttime water temp can be a bit chilly. Wetsuits and hot chocolate are provided to help stay warm, as well as flotation devices and snorkel gear (including prescription masks) to ensure proper viewing. <a href=\"\/activity\/big-island-snorkeling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Island snorkeling<\/a> is like NO OTHER!\u00a0 Book today!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11712 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/activityauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/line.gif\" alt=\"line\" width=\"998\" height=\"62\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fareharbor.com\/embeds\/book\/seaquesthawaii\/items\/14176\/calendar\/?asn=activityauthority&amp;full-items=yes&amp;ref=asnAA\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BOOK NOW!<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Nearby Areas:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/activityauthority.com\/big-island\/kona\">Kona<\/a><\/strong> \u2022 Waikoloa \u2022 Captain Cook<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Kona Night Manta Ray Snorkeling Tour Photos<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13786 size-full\" title=\"Kona Manta Ray Snorkel Tour Experience\" src=\"https:\/\/activityauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/kona-manta-ray-snorkel-experience.jpg\" alt=\"Kona Manta Ray Snorkel Experience\" width=\"910\" height=\"830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/activityauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/kona-manta-ray-snorkel-experience.jpg 910w, https:\/\/activityauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/kona-manta-ray-snorkel-experience-908x828.jpg 908w, https:\/\/activityauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/kona-manta-ray-snorkel-experience-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/activityauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/kona-manta-ray-snorkel-experience-768x700.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p1\">After dark in Kona, manta rays come out to play.
