Manta Ray Night Snorkel in Big Island of Hawaii — FAQ

What is the Kona manta ray night snorkel?
It is an evening boat trip off Kona where you float at the surface as lights attract plankton and giant manta rays swoop in to feed beneath you.
Are manta ray snorkels safe?
Yes — manta rays are gentle, harmless filter feeders; you stay at the surface with floats and guides while they swim below.
Are manta rays guaranteed on the night snorkel?
Sightings are very common but never guaranteed in the wild; many operators offer a free repeat trip if none appear.
