Aloha, Night snorkeling with the Manta Rays, through Dolphin Discoveries, was the most AMAZING experience ever! From check-in to the boat crew all personnel were kind, caring, and very knowledgeable and informative about equipment fittings and marine life. I would love to give a shout out to the June 22, 2026 7:00 tour boat crew (Jack, Brayden, the captain, ship mate, and other diver. Sorry couldn't remember all crew members names). They all did a wonderful job of explaining exactly what was to be expected while snorkeling, and how to stay calm while the manta rays get up close and personal. Jack and Brayden did an excellent job of explaining the life of manta rays and how to identify each one while we were in the water. A big thank you to Brayden for be encouraging and keeping me calm while in the water. He knew I was a good swimmer, but am very nervous in deep water. Brayden was very good at informing us when a ray was getting close and to just stay still and calm if one were to get too close to our bodies. He did a wonderful job with keeping us safe, informed with marine life, and gave clear directions as to what we needed to do to get in the water, while we were in the water, and with how to get out of the water back onto the boat. Mahalo (Thank you) Dolphin Discoveries Crew for a wonderful night snorkel with the manta rays! I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone that is visiting the island of Hawaii!! It is a once and a life time experience and well worth the money you pay to go on the excursion.
Our guides Jake and Ethan were awesome, very fun and helpful! Every staff from check in onward were great! We saw plenty of manta rays! So cool!. Totally recommend!
What an unforgettable experience! Mitch and Bryce were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable the entire trip. I’m not the strongest swimmer, so I requested a life jacket, and they accommodated me without any hesitation. They explained everything clearly, made me feel completely safe, and gave me the confidence to enjoy the experience. You don’t have to be an experienced swimmer to do this tour—they do a great job of making everyone feel comfortable. Seeing the manta rays at night was truly breathtaking. We saw so many mantas, and watching them glide so gracefully right beneath us was something I’ll never forget. The entire tour was smooth, well organized, and exceeded every expectation. After the swim, they had snacks and hot cocoa waiting for us, which was the perfect way to end the evening. The ride was so much fun and Bryce will sit and talk with you while Mitch drives the “boat”🤙🏽It’s those thoughtful little touches that made the experience even more special. This was easily a 10/10 experience, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Big Island. And please make sure to tip your guides! Mitch and Bryce worked incredibly hard to make the night safe, fun, and unforgettable. They truly made the whole experience so special. Mahalo, Mitch and Bryce, for an incredible evening I’ll never forget!
What a great experience! They seemed like they were only inches away. This is a must for anyone visiting the Big Island 😊
Crew & staff were friendly. We waited at the dock for the boat for more than the amount of time we were actually in the water (30 mins snorkel time). Only saw 1 manta ray unfortunately.
Aloha Brigid, Thank you for joining us and for sharing your feedback. We are happy to hear that you found our staff friendly. We are sorry that only one manta ray appeared during your tour. Manta rays are wild animals, and their activity can vary greatly from night to night. Some evenings there are many, while other nights there may be only one or none at all, and unfortunately their behavior is outside of our control. We also understand your concern about the waiting time. Our listings state that the in-water portion of the experience is approximately 30 minutes, which is generally a comfortable amount of time for most guests. The tour start time is scheduled one hour before departure so we have enough time to check everyone in, provide equipment, allow guests to find parking, and walk to the meeting location. Some guests move through that process quickly, while others need the full amount of time. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that the timing felt longer than expected. Mahalo for choosing us, and we hope the friendliness of our crew and the manta ray you did see were still memorable parts of your experience.
What an amazing experience ! The captain and his crew were great and gave lots of info. We had two (and at one point three) Manta rays swimming with us the whole time we were there. So close to us. Incredible experience ! Days was our in-water guide and she was great.
This was amazing and beautiful had a great time did get a little motion sickness after the lights went off to swim to boat but other then that is a must do on the island
It was a blast and we saw quite a few rays. It was so cool….highly recommend and we would do it again!
Mahalo! A blast with plenty of rays -- that is exactly the night we love to deliver! We are so glad you would do it again and we appreciate you choosing us. Hope to welcome you back on the water again someday!
The actual snorkel time was short, roughly 30 minutes in the water. We saw two mantas swim by total but it looked like the same one twice. It would have been better to choose the 7pm tour so it would be darker.
Aloha, Thank you for joining us and for sharing your feedback. We are glad you were able to see some manta rays during your tour. Because mantas are wild animals, their activity can vary from night to night, and there are evenings when they do not appear at all. We also want to clarify that our listings state that the in-water portion of the experience is approximately 30 minutes. We do our best to provide the tour as described while keeping guest comfort, safety, and ocean conditions in mind. We appreciate your feedback and hope you still enjoyed the opportunity to experience the manta rays on the Big Island.
Water was warm, crew was friendly and mantas were AMAZING! It starts at Keahouo Bay so the boat ride out is short and maximizes your snorkel time. No underwater - just holding on to a board and floating.
Mahalo! Warm water, a friendly crew and amazing mantas -- you covered all the highlights perfectly! We love that the short boat ride means more time with the rays, and that the board makes it so accessible for everyone. We appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome you back on the water again someday!
