# Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour in Kailua-Kona, Big Island

**Guidekin's take:** Choose the beginner snorkeler or confident swimmer option for a night snorkel with manta rays in Kailua-Kona. Snorkel gear and hot cocoa on the ride back are included; wetsuits cost extra, and manta sightings are not guaranteed. 4.81 from 486 reviews at €114 per person for 2h.

In our comparison: #12 of 17 in Manta Ray Night Snorkel, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).
