A must do in the Big Island - It was the most wonderful experience. The crew is very welcoming and friendly and very clear with their instructions. To see these magnificent creatures doing what they do was a sight to behold. I highly recommend this company and this must do activity .

Incredibly intimate... - Incredibly intimate experience with the rays. We got to see multiple rays swimming back and forth inches from our goggles. An experience we’ll never forget.

This Manta Ray Tour was the Highlight of our Hawaii vacation. - My Kona Adventures was a great Manta Ray Snorkel experience. It was the highlight of our Hawaii trip! The quick ride on the Zodiac boat and small group sizes were a plus. We arrived at our snorkel site and it was a quick swim with a pool noodle to the manta rays. The Manta Rays swam right up to us many times. Such an amazing lifetime memory made even better by this My Kona Adventures crew.

Must do! - Mike, Greg and Keaki (sorry,not sure how it's spelled) were a great team. Great experience and very informative experience. We had 10-12 Mantas visit and was "touched" by one. Absolutely an unforgettable experience. I felt very comfortable booking based on ther re-ride if no mantas show.

MUST DO! Manta’s are so cool! - Absolutely unreal. I didn’t fully understand how huge they are until they’re literally right under you. Had a little seasickness after a while but totally worth it. Take some meds and don’t eat before you go. You CANNOT touch them but sometimes they swim so close they touch you. And no, these are not the same as Steve Irwin’s stingrays, these don’t have teeth or stingers/barbs, etc…so they can’t hurt you. Our guide Greg said it best — it’s the bucket list item you don’t even know you have until you do it!

Once in a lifetime manta experience! - Captain Mike and team were great. We headed out on a small boat and jumped into the sea just 3 minutes from the harbor. The rays almost immediately appeared and circled collecting plankton right in front of us. We could have easily touched them! Taco our guide told us lots of interesting facts about the rays while we were watching them. Amazing trip!

Would recommend! - This tour was excellent and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting the Big Island. Watching the manta rays up close was unforgettable, and being out on the ocean at night made it a truly unique experience.

Must do activity! You won't regret it! - This was the highlight of our Hawaii trip! We saw at least a dozen or more Manta Rays swimming all around us and brushing up against us! They were beautiful creatures and the staff were great and made the experience fun for all of us. Mike, Max, and Taco were fantastic!

Manta Ray night snorkel - Fun experience to see Manta Rays up close and in the wild. Get there early since parking is tough. Also make sure you know which group you’re with because there are several companies doing the same tour.
