About this activity

What Makes your Manta Ray Night Snorkel Unique

One of the only places on Earth to snorkel with manta rays at night—in their natural habitat

Small group size (maximum 17 guests) for a personal, uncrowded experience—unlike other boats carrying 40–60 people

Quick 3–5 minute boat ride from the harbor to the manta site (not 30 minutes each way like many other operators)

Industry-leading light system with over 150,000 lumens of blue dive lights, attracting more plankton and increasing manta activity

Custom light boards designed to keep you comfortably floating while mantas glide inches below

Later tour times available, which statistically have fewer boats and more mantas

Manta Guarantee — If no manta rays are seen, direct booking guests can rebook for free until they do (subject to availability)

Staffed by a licensed captain, certified lifeguard, and trained swim guide for safety

Run by a local, family-owned company that values education, conservation, and sharing the spirit of aloha
