Quick Details
Get ready for an unforgettable two-tank Manta Ray Dive!
We’ll start with an afternoon dive at a vibrant reef full of life—think reef sharks, octopus, tropical fish, nudibranchs, eels, and more. Our awesome crew will chat with everyone onboard to hear what you’re hoping to see and pick the perfect dive spot to match the group’s wishes.
Afterward, during the surface interval, we’ll cruise along the Kona coast to the famous manta ray site. Relax and take in a stunning sunset while our crew gives you educational briefing of the manta rays.
As it gets dark, it’s time for the main event! We’ll dive in for an up-close encounter with Kona’s gentle giants—the incredible manta rays. Watching these graceful creatures glide through the water is an awe-inspiring, bucket-list moment you’ll never forget.
Perfect for both divers and snorkelers, this trip is ideal for mixed groups. Our friendly, fun crew can’t wait to share the beauty of Kona’s underwater world with you, all with plenty of aloha spirit. Don’t miss this must-do Big Island experience—we’re excited to dive with you!
