Nouvelles revue de Kona Ocean Adventures



Our latest review from Claire and Laurence on trip advisor:

“Super plongées!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 13, 2012 NEW
Nous avons passé un moment fantastique avec Laure et Danny sur leur bateau. Toujours en petit groupes de maximum 5, avec plein de snacks super bons, les sorties ont été très conviviales et relaxantes. Les plongées étaient super belles (nous avons vu une Manta Ray, Eagle Ray, un requin, pieuvre, murènes...) et nous avons nagé avec des dauphins: ce qui était tout simplement magique! La plongée de nuit était géante, fantastique ! Merci encore à Laure et Danny et j’espère pouvoir revenir !

“Great Time and Great People”

5 of 5 starsDanny and Laure were two of the coolest people ever. They were very knowledgeable, professional, and fun! They worked great with each other and made us feel like family. We went with them for the night manta ray snorkel tour, which was one of the best experiences of my life. It is a must-do with Kona Ocean Adventures!

We were a family of Mom, Dad, Grandmother, and 8 year old son. All of us were well-taken care of and had great time. Captain Danny and Co-Captain Laure are fantastic people and a highly experienced dive and snorkel crew. Great for experienced divers, or novices. A small operation, with big-time quality. They know the Kona waters like the back of their hands, and easily found mantas and dolphins for us -- plus lots of local history. We felt like family by the time we left.

The Manta Rays in Hawaii fins have evolved into wide triangular wings with which they use to “fly” through the water. Varying in size anywhere from 4-20 ft, makes them amongst the largest sea creatures anywhere in the world. The Hawaiian Manta Rays are  fascinating and stunningly beautiful sea sights. Believed to have a lifespan of up to 25 years, this greatest of the ray family have been documented swimming at depths of up to 100 feet

These gentle giants will absolutely take your breath away. 
You may be wondering why we go snorkeling with the Mantas at night? Scientifically, we believe they may feed most actively at night, when many planktonic creatures naturally rise to the surface, providing a rich bounty on which Mantas may feed.
Using dive lights, we are able to attract concentrations of these plankton and therefore attract the Mantas. 

It is exhilarating to be in the Ocean at night with the Mantas.
176 Manta Rays have been identified and named along the Kona Coast.

"Zach-a-ray" (seen below)  is named for Zach Scott, son of Captain Danny Scott. he is approx. 6 ft across.

"A once in a lifetime chance to swim with these gentle giants in the ocean at night"



A must while visiting the Big island of Hawaii

"An experience you will never forget" - “Truly cool fun with great people!”

 Reviewed April 1, 2012 Being pampered on your vacation by a truly great capt and crew doesn't get any better than this. We had a blast and they took care of everything. Saw beautiful Hawaiian coastline along the way, learned about the energy lab and fish farm. Mantas and dolphins oh my! What a great time.
Highly recommend this trip and this company!!!!!
