Best Manta Ray Snorkel Big Island
Night Manta Ray Viewing and Snorkel
Our double-hull canoes let you snorkel with manta rays in a whole different way — in a small group, and at your own pace. You can either snorkel with the manta rays or relax and enjoy the view from the canoe without even getting in the water.
The Experience
Book a tour and join us as we slip out into the dark ocean from Keauhou Bay, then paddle a very short 10 minute paddle out to the manta ray night snorkel site. You’ll get as much time as you can with the mantas, and then take just a short trip back at the end of your adventure.
That’s right. We use paddle-power—no motors at all. That makes us the most eco-friendly tour available. It’s better for the mantas... and also keeps the diesel fuel smell out of your clothes and hair.
We only allow six people per tour, so you will have the undivided attention of both our guide and the mantas. Plus our double-hull canoe gives you an authentic Hawaiian experience unlike any other.
You’ll feel like a true Hawaiian as you come face to face with one of the ocean’s most majestic wonders. The rays swim right up to the light between the two hulls of our canoe and fearlessly interact with you, allowing a perfect view you won’t get anywhere else.
Skip the big crowds and go for a local Hawaiian experience — there’s no better way to meet mantas than on an Anelakai Adventures night manta ray snorkel in Kona!
