“Two dives from Kona ”

Reviewed June 26, 2015NEW

Matt, tanner and Joi were excellent guides. We did two dives, one outside Kona harbour where we saw Manta Ray Octopus and thousands of fish. The second at the "skull" where we dived into underwater caves was even better! Reef sharks made this even more special. We couldn't ask for a better dive experience.

“Diving with the mantas - OMG!”

Reviewed June 24, 2015NEW

Diving with the mantas was an awesome experience - what a beatiful animal! It is a must do in Big Island.
As a very begginers divers, me and my husband were scared to do our first night dive. But Joy - our instructor - is super fun and helpful, so we had a blast. To sum up: amazing experience and service! Go for it :-)

“Incredible Journey”

Reviewed June 24, 2015NEW

Matt and Rick were awesome. Ask for them when booking any excursion. Going on the dolphin excursion was great. Only went for a half day, but they did so much in so little time. Rick and Matt did a great job keeping up with the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and answering any questions. They'd give our party plenty of time to prepare to watch them swim by up close! They also took us to the many bays and coves, explaining the history of this area of Big Island. Highly recommend them.

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:

“Highlight of a 10 day Big Island Visit”

Reviewed November 4, 2013 NEW

Oh boy, where to begin? My family enjoyed 10 days on the Big Island and 3 of them with Kona Ocean Adventures (KOA). There were 11 people in our group that ranged in age from 3 months to 41 years old. Besides the baby we had four kids 3, 6, 8, and 10 years old.

The crew was punctual and professional for all 3 trips. There were no hidden charges or unfortunate surprises with the services. We used the same boat for all trips – it was very clean with plenty of seating for our group. The boat had a canopy that covered at least ½ of us at any time. It was easy to keep the baby out of the sun.

Trip 1 – snorkeling to the South of Kona. We were not in the water more than 15 minutes before we chanced upon a pod of dolphins. We counted at least a dozen and quickly jumped off the boat to join them for a swim. Once back on the boat, we traveled to Kealakekua Bay and enjoyed incredible snorkeling. The Capt (Pono) and Lindsey could have not been kinder or more accommodating for our very active group. My 6 year old daughter immediately took to Lindsay and they snorkeled together for an hour. Capt. Pono graciously volunteered to keep an eye on the sleeping baby while the mom got to spend some time snorkeling near the boat. Once we climbed back aboard, Pono had prepared a wonderful lunch of wraps, fresh pineapple, chips, salsa and a few local specialties that you would only expect to see at a luau.

Trip 2 - night dive/snorkel with manta rays. Three in our group wanted to dive and the rest chose to snorkel. One extra crew member joined us - dive master Joy. She checked all our gear and gave us detailed instructions on how the dive could best be enjoyed. It was an amazing experience. We saw 23 mantas that night including “Big Bertha” with her 14 foot span. The 3, 6, 8 and 10 year old joined Lindsay and the other adults to snorkel with the rays. Once again Capt Pono was on baby duty while mom got a few minutes to swim with the mantas. KOA provided wetsuits and gear for everyone on board (including the kids) and they had hot cocoa and fresh fruit waiting for us once we returned to the boat.

Trip 3 – ½ Day dive. Just the 3 divers went on this two-tank trip. The crew was Capt Pono and dive master Seth. Seth set up all our gear and led us through extraordinary underwater scenery. We found a 4 foot white-tip shark, several eels, octopus and one eagle ray. We enjoyed diving through multiple arches and looking over the edge of the “drop-off.” Once again we found a pod of dolphins and enjoyed watching them jump and play in the wake of our boat for several minutes.

Even though a month has passed, my kids are still talking about Lindsey and the manta rays! Everyone in our group had an amazing time and cannot find enough adjectives to describe the experiences with Kona Ocean Adventures.

WOW!!!! As a parent you want your children to always to safe, my Daughter was in the perfect place with Tim the Dive Inst. he never left her side and he stayed with her the entire two tank dive. As a parent you only get a few chances to see those life changing events take place in you child's life and yesterday Kona Ocean Adventure did that for my Reaghan. You truly have impacted her life in a way that I will never be able to put into words, Danny, Laure, Tim from the bottom of my heart Mahalo Nui Loa!

“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.
