# Kona Night Manta Ray Snorkel | Small Group Experience

**Guidekin's take:** Float at a light board for a Kona night manta snorkel in a small shared group of up to twelve. Snorkelling gear and wetsuit tops are included; you must be able to swim and climb the boat ladder unaided. 5 from 45 reviews at €137 per person for 2h.

In our comparison: #6 of 17 in Manta Ray Night Snorkel, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we take you up close to Kona’s incredible manta rays—without the big crowds.

Our Night Manta Snorkel is designed to be personal, relaxed, and unforgettable. With just 12 guests max, you’ll enjoy plenty of space, personalized attention, and unbeatable front-row views of the manta action.

Once in the water, you’ll float effortlessly on the surface for 30–40 minutes while holding onto our custom light board. Its powerful lights attract plankton, which in turn draws the mantas in close. Before long, you’ll be watching these graceful giants glide and loop below you—an encounter you’ll never forget.

Requirements: To join, you must be comfortable in the water and able to float on the surface with the assistance of a waist flotation device. You don’t need to be an expert swimmer, but you should feel confident using a mask and snorkel.
