What guests have to say about Manta Snorkel with Kona Ocean Adventures

“100% reccomended! Manta's were awesome!”

Reviewed July 19, 2014NEW

Amazing Manta experience with Josh, Matt and especially Joi the dislocated city girl! These people were fantastic, informative and a lot of fun to dive with. Me and my son did scuba and my wife and daughter did snorkeling. They took care of everything and made everyone feel safe and comfortable. Nice touch the hot chocolate at the end. If you want loud and obnoxious groups go with someone else- those groups were out there! If you want an amazing experience in a smaller controlled group, got with Kona Ocean Adventures- a Green List Activity Provider. Thank you! Call us today (808) 930-9861 or visit:

Review of Kona Ocean Adventures

KONA OCEAN ADVENTURES, The only reason we'd return to the big island.”

Reviewed November 5, 2013

Kona Ocean Adventures was great and when we make a return trip to Kona they are the reason why. We experienced nearly everything the big island had to offer but were particularly pleased with the three excursions we made with Kona Ocean Adventures. These included a half day charter, a manta ray night charter and a two tank dive. My wife and I were vacationing with family and friends and our group consisted of my four month old daughter, our nieces and nephews ages 3, 5, 8, and 10yrs, my brother and sister in law and two close friends. We were all extremely pleased with the service, the attitude and willingness of KOA to ensure EVERYONE had a good trip. As previously mentioned we were so satisfied with our KOA the first day we booked two MORE activities with them that same week. We cannot say enough good things about the KOA staff especially Capt Pono, Lindsay, Joy and Seth. The level of service was unparalleled with any we experienced on this trip or others in the past. Highlights of our trips included swimming with dolphins, learning the history of the island, swimming and diving with manta's, diving with sharks, rays and everything else you can imagine. If you visit Kona and do not seek them out you are missing an unforgettable, brag to your family, boast to your friends, once in a lifetime, great time!

“Great Time and Great People”

Danny 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!

“Competent, Professional, and Attentive to All Needs!”

Reviewed April 9, 2012 NEW

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.

Highly recommend this trip and this company!!!!!

Swim Snorkel Dive with manta rays Kona Hawaii

The magic of "Hahalua" Kona, Hawaii

The warm ocean waters off Hawaii Island harbor a vast array of colorful and usual sea life. Of all marine creatures, Hahalua, otherwise known as manta rays (Manta Birostris), are one of the most alluring and mysterious creatures. Encountering these magnificent creatures in the wild is awe-inspiring experience as they command the sea, gliding peacefully like a giant underwater butterflies.

Manta Ray Snorkel tour Kona Hawaii

“So glad I picked Kona Ocean Adventures!”

Reviewed May 12, 2012 NEW

I booked the manta ray snorkel as a birthday gift for my husband. There were many companies to choose from but I definitely made the right choice. Other boats had 20+ people. We chose a smaller boat and got personal treatment, including homemade salsa, fruit, cookies, veggies, and hot cocoa. Laure and Danny were wonderful and made the experience so great. The snorkeling was surreal (not scary at all!) and we even swam with bottlenose dolphins! Don't get shuffled around- small group, personal attention, yummy snacks. Have already recommended it to 3 people and it was just last night! Mahalo nui loa, Danny and Laure!

“It was like boating with friends who are experts.”

Reviewed April 11, 2012 NEW

Danny, Laure & each crew member were highly knowledgeable for divers & snorkelers. They fulfilled every promise about individualized attention. They responded to our needs before we could articulate them. All of it seemed effortless. They know the waters & the ocean life. We saw everything they said we would & more.
