Float above the reef as mantas barrel-roll through the dive lights, sometimes inches below your mask.
Snorkel the reef at the Captain Cook Monument, run sea caves by Zodiac, and watch for wild dolphins.
Dive lights draw plankton to the surface, and plankton draws mantas. We run 200,000 lumens — more light than any other boat — and offer later departures, when the site is quiet and the mantas linger. The early tours are there too, if that’s your evening.
“Absolutely breathtaking! Being surrounded by 10 majestic mantas, coming up close, was an unforgettable experience.”
“The manta rays, some as wide as 15 feet, glided around us gracefully. It was amazing to watch these gentle giants in their natural habitat.”
“Seeing these animals up close is a must do if you are in Kona and this is the tour company to go with!”
“Obviously seeing the manta rays was the highlight!! Would definitely book with them again when I come back to the big island!”
Check-in is by the Outrigger Resort, an easy three-minute ride from the manta site. Call or text with any questions.
