Great Company - These folks are great! Did 2 trips with them; the night manta snorkel and the day snorkel @ Captain Cook. Everything about it was first rate. Highly recommend Konastyle if you are looking for a fun well run tour.

Epic adventure, not to be missed. - What better way is there to spend the winter solstice than floating above the reef, watching the underwater acrobatics of gentle ocean giants as they feed? Nothing compares to the experience we had tonight. We booked the Late Night Manta Ray Snorkel for our family of four and all the usual descriptors fall short. Amazing, incredible, epic. We were incredibly blessed as we were able to see 5 Manta rays up close and personal as they did feeding maneuvers within inches of us! The crew that accompanied us on the lighted hand raft (technical term escapes me) were very informative about the local Manta rays, their physiology and habits.
Captain Dan and his crew were very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. Our experience aboard the Noa Noa was stellar, and the music selection was the cherry on top of the whole adventure.
If you're on the fence about booking a Manta Ray tour, don't let the opportunity slip by. This is the experience of a life time.

The best experience ever - These guys are THEEE best. Everyone was super sweet and helpful. You can truly truly see how much they enjoy what they do. They give you snacks and have drinks available as well which are delicious! I am terrified of open water and not a strong swimmer at all. I have been working hard to get over this fear but it’s definitely still there. We went snorkeling with Kona Style and today went to see the manta rays. Both times I was the last one to jump in and second guessing myself at the end but Tanner and Dora were so sweet in encouraging me and pushing me just enough to not miss out on this beautiful experience. Captain Dan was the sweetest and had the best humor. I absolutely recommend Kona style to everyone, especially if you’re just as nervous as I am. They will make sure to get you out there to have the time of your life. Thank you for making this once in a lifetime experience one that I will never forget. Mahalo Piha!

You may regret not using Kona Style. - We choose to use Kona Style after a recommendation from a local. Kona Style was organized, efficient, super clean and had great gear as well as staff. I would use them again if we chose to go on another tour. We felt safe with the crew, they explained what to expect in a clear way.
