However, if no mantas are seen on your tour, you are free to try your luck on a different night depending on availability. Manta rays are abundant in Kona, but just like whales, dolphins, and turtles, rays are wild animals and their presence is not guaranteed on every tour. The number of manta rays around Kona can vary, depending on how much plankton (their main source of food) is in the water. Unlike stingrays, manta rays do not have stingers and are harmless, gentle creatures. These rays can grow to be humongous, weighing up to 1,000lbs with a wingspan of up to 16 feet. There are hundreds of manta rays that call the waters off Kona home year-round. All the necessary gear for viewing the rays will be provided. This tour is open to anyone over the age of five with adequate swimming skills. An experienced guide will accompany you as you hang on to the boat, float, and watch the spectacular manta ray ballet. Once the rays are spotted, guests climb into the warm Hawaiian waters and surround a custom-built snorkel boat equipped with bright lights. Departing from Honokohau Harbor, this two-hour tour heads just offshore to find the best location for manta ray viewing. This nighttime tour brings adventurous individuals closer to one of the ocean’s most graceful giants: the manta ray.
