Manta Adventures Inc. 74-429 Kealakehe Parkway, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

"Highly recommend. Our experience with Manta Adventures truly set a new standard for what I expect from a snorkeling excursion. It’s hard to imagine any other company topping what they offer, from the quality of their vessel to the comprehensive attention to safety, and the thoughtful amenities provided. Captain Bill led our expedition with a professionalism that immediately instilled confidence. His no-nonsense, safety-first approach was evident in everything from the thorough briefing to his vigilant supervision during the snorkel. Guides Sam and Calem were exceptional, both on the boat and in the water. Their deep knowledge of the manta rays and marine conservation was enlightening, transforming our excursion into an educational journey as well as a breathtaking adventure. They were always on hand to ensure everyone was comfortable and warm, paying special attention to those who needed extra assistance. While we were fortunate enough to see many manta rays, it’s important to acknowledge that such sightings are beyond any operator’s control. However, the overall quality of the experience, safety measures, and support provided by Manta Adventures is where they truly excel and stand out from the rest. I highly recommend Manta Adventures to anyone looking for a memorable and safe ocean adventure in Kona. Their commitment to excellence, environmental respect, and guest comfort makes them the go-to choice for an unforgettable manta ray snorkeling experience."

"Great tour. We did the manta ray night snorkeling and saw 12-15 manta rays, so they definitely delivered a great show. Staff was very kind and knowledgeable, and charismatic. Yes, there are some rules but it's for the enjoyment and safety of everyone aboard and the safety of the wild animals."

"Captain Bill was tremendous! His crew was phenomenal! The boat was clean & safety was of utmost importance. Very professional team & very knowledgeable. We saw so many beautiful Manta rays on this excursion! They put on a great show for us and did lots of barrel rolls literally 1 ft from our face! It was magnificent & we highly recommend this adventure!!"

"What a truly memorable experience with Captain Bill, Karen and other friendly crew! Spent my last night in Kona doing their Manta Ray Snorkel tour and had an amazing time. Saw ~20 manta rays (!) up close and personal, and was even ‘kissed’ a few times. They surrounded me the entire duration of our swim! These guys knew exactly where to go and how to attract these marvelous creatures. MOST importantly - being not the strongest of swimmers - felt 110% safe with the entire crew. They stressed the importance of safety first and remained calm, yet assertive the entire time. I felt so safe under their watchful eye. 11/10 - definitely recommend them and would come back to do this again in a heartbeat."
