Absolutely unreal. Laying on the raft and having these giant rays swoop inches under you felt like something out of a movie.

In reply to Angie. It was a game changer for us too. We do it every time we go to the Big Island.

You done changed my world! Snorkeling with manta rays at night. For real? Wasn’t sure I was actually going to see any close. Gentle Giants is what they called them. I was freaked out at first cause they’re just so big. Much bigger than you’d think. But turns out they were really mellow and slow. they just wanted to munch on some little sea bugs. Loved it! thank you thank you thank you

This is one of my faavorit things I’ve ever done! Something that literally got added to my bucketlist after I did it. I will do it again if I ever get back in Hawaii again.

Floating in the dark ocean with manta rays gliding just below us was absolutely intense. It was really cool but also spooky. These creatures are massive but so graceful!

This was an incredible adventure, but it’s not for everyone. If you’re uncomfortable in deep water at night, it might be a bit overwhelming. That being said, the manta rays are gentle giants, and seeing them up close was unforgettable. Bring a good sense of adventure and you’ll love it!

Otherworldly! I’ll do this anytime I come to Hawaii. Seriously, it’s a reason in itself to visit Hawaii.

I will likely remember this experience until after senility takes me. It was that impressive on me! Watching this big creatures all around me and my kids was such a great experience. My wife had to stay home with the baby, and now we have to book another session before we go. Otherwise, she’ll never understand!

I can’t recommend this enough. We’re coming back next year, probably staying in Kona but haven’t locked it down yet, and we’ll do this again!

If you’d asked me if my favorite experience would have been snorkeling at night in the ocean, I woulda said you were crazy! But, alas, these gentle giants have made this trip incredible! I’ll never forget my time with these peaceful, graceful, and beautiful creatures.
