Manta mania! Kona’s resident manta rays are a magical sight, especially at night. Our night manta snorkel tours are a guest and crew favorite!

This past week we had great encounters with Kona’s mantas under the moonlight. Spooky season may be here, but there are no frights on your night with Hawaiian Adventures. Our experienced manta guides ensure that before you enter the water you’re prepared for the adventure and mantas that await! We often refer to Kona’s manta rays as gentle giants (emphasis on giants). Our guests are always surprised by their size and just how close they can get when feeding on the plankton attracted to our boards! Getting in the water at night can feel like a daunting task, but with the help of our team, you can have a comfortable and unforgettable adventure. Check out our tour calendar to see our night manta availability this month! 

October is here and we’re excited for our fall adventures. Fall on the Big Island is a bit different than the mainland. If you’re looking for warm weather, sunshine, palm trees, and incredible wildlife, Kona is for you! We had guests from near and far this week, and we’re always intrigued to hear where our guests have traveled from! For many who visit the Big Island, getting on the water and experiencing Kona’s marine life is top of the list. Our offshore adventures, including our dolphin and whale watching trips and night manta snorkels, are fantastic opportunities to fuel your Kona adventure!
