Sunset Cruise and Night Manta Snorkel

Sunset Cruise and Night Manta Snorkel

An unforgettable 1.5 hour evening boat trip out of Keauhou Harbor to enjoy the beautiful Kona coastline and Sunset, as you await the mantas arrival. You will learn some history and culture of the area, see wildlife along the coast, and enjoy snacking from a fresh fruit and sushi platter as the sun fades over the ocean. Then as night falls, we return to the original "Manta Village", to witness the majestic manta rays come to feed on the abundant buffet of phytoplankton that appear with the glow of underwater dive lights. Slide into the alluring Pacific Ocean, buoyed by a light board and accompanied by our dive guide, to experience the thrill of having giant manta rays gracefully glide through the waters, within inches of you. Back on board, complete your breath-taking experience with some warm green tea on the short ride back to the Keauhou pier.

Check in at the conveniently located Keauhou Small Boat Harbor for a short safety briefing lead by one of the 100% American Red Cross 1st Aid/CPR Trained and Certified Safety Professionals. After check-in, you'll set out down the coast towards Kuamoo Bay, where you will see lava caves and enjoy watching locals and visitors do some fun cliff jumping into the beautiful deep blue waters.

Next, you will head out to sea where you will float peacefully while watching the spectacular Kona sun set on the horizon all the while snacking on sushi. After the sun has set, you'll continue your journey to the bay fronting the Keauhou Sheraton to witness the majestic Manta Rays come to feed on the abundant buffet of phytoplankton that appear with the glow of the underwater dive lights. Slide into the warm pacific ocean and experience the thrill of having giant manta rays gracefully glide and swoop through the crystal clear waters, all within inches of you. Delight in 45 exhilarating minutes of swimming with Mantas. Ride-along without snorkeling is also an option.

Finally, warm up with some green tea and enjoy the short, easy boat ride back to Keauhou Small Boat Harbor.
