Amazing Experience - highly recommend!
Can’t say enough good things about this tour! The guides were fantastic - getting us set up with snorkel gear and wet suits, answering questions, and helping people of all ages through the experience. We say so many huge Manta Rays - anywhere from 12-16 feet across. The boat had a bar for drinks and complimentary water, tea and hot chocolate for the ride back to the pier. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the island.
Operator response
Aloha! Thank you for the wonderful recommendation! Seeing 12–16-foot manta rays up close is quite a sight, and it sounds like they put on a great show for your group. We’re especially glad our crew could help everyone, no matter their age or experience level, feel comfortable in the water. And after that chilly swim, we love hearing that the hot chocolate hit the spot! Mahalo - The KONASTYLE Ohana.

Manta ray tour.
We had a great experience, our guide was amazing 20 years of knowledge and diving experience. She was awesome! Did the night time snorkel, saw 3 manta rays and tons of fish.
Operator response
Aloha, Aaron! Thank you for the wonderful review. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to your guide—having someone with so much experience in the water makes a real difference, and we're glad it helped make your night so enjoyable. Seeing three manta rays is a sight we hope you never forget! Mahalo - The KONASTYLE Ohana.

Manta Rays up close!
We had such a great experience and saw several Manta Rays! The boat was beautiful and everyone was super nice and so helpful. The crew made everything so easy. I did take dramamine beforehand and I was very glad I did. Our boat was really smooth, and I couldn't have imagined being on a smaller boat. The Manta Rays were solid for a 1/2 hour. I really recommend this trip and would go again on my next trip.
Operator response
Aloha! There’s nothing quite like watching manta rays glide by for an extended stretch, and we’re so happy you had such a great viewing experience. Thanks for the kind words about our crew and catamaran, and for sharing the helpful tip about taking Dramamine ahead of time. We’d love to welcome you back on your next trip to Kona. Mahalo - The KONASTYLE Ohana.

Fun times on the high seas!
Our captain and crew were awesome! We had 6' swells, so it was a bumpy ride but fun. Even with the rough seas we still saw a good number of mantas. The captain was very safety first and clearly explained everything about the boat (walking around) and being in the water at night.
Operator response
Aloha! Sounds like you got a true “high seas” adventure with those swells, but still came away with some great manta sightings. We’re glad the captain and crew kept everything clear, calm, and safety-focused while still keeping it fun on the water. Mahalo for joining us in those conditions. Mahalo - The KONASTYLE Ohana.

Bucket list item
Wonderful experience to see the Manta Rays up close and personal. Should be an item on every Snorkeler's bucket list. Great crew and captain
Operator response
Aloha! The crew and captain appreciate the kind words. It was our pleasure to help you check this adventure off your bucket list! Seeing manta rays up close is definitely one of those unforgettable moments. Mahalo - The KONASTYLE Ohana.

So magical!
Wife and I went on the late night manta tour and it was magical! The rays got SO close! The staff was all very kind, from the girls who checked us in, to the crew on board (who made great drinks btw 😜). Got a little cold in the water but they gave us hot Cocoa when we got out! The boat was clean and well maintained. A much needed experience! Mahalo!
Operator response
Aloha! Late-night manta encounters really do have a magic of their own, especially when they come that close. We're stoked to hear the whole crew—from check-in to the catamaran crew—took great care of you throughout the evening. We sure love what we do! Mahalo - The KONASTYLE Ohana.

So incredible! Before we even got on the boat the staff was so kind, loved the gals in the office who helped us sign in and prepare us for the night! The tour was amazing, got to see some amazing mantas and the crew was incredible and so kind! Will definitely be going again!

Wonderful experience
Easy to schedule and good contact with KonaStyle. The guides were great and friendly. I was very happy that we got to see a manta. The guides made being in the ocean at night very manageable- not at all scary. It was also really nice to have the wet shirt and noodle.
