About This Experience
Dive into the Big Island's most mesmerizing after-dark adventure with Manta Magic, where gentle giants of the sea glide gracefully through underwater spotlights in their natural habitat. This extraordinary night snorkeling experience takes place off Kona's pristine coastline, where nutrient-rich waters create the perfect feeding ground for Pacific manta rays with wingspans reaching up to 20 feet. As darkness falls, powerful underwater lights attract plankton to the surface, drawing these magnificent creatures into an elegant underwater ballet just feet from your mask. Watch in awe as multiple manta rays perform barrel rolls and graceful swoops, their white bellies catching the light as they filter-feed in the illuminated water column. The calm, protected waters off Kona provide optimal viewing conditions, making this one of the world's most reliable manta ray encounters. Manta Magic includes all snorkeling equipment, professional guidance, and boat transportation to prime viewing locations. This adventure suits confident swimmers and snorkeling enthusiasts seeking an intimate wildlife encounter. The tour operates year-round, though specific timing depends on ocean conditions and manta ray activity patterns.
