Big Island

Home of the world-famous Kona manta night dive

The Big Island's Kona coast is the most reliable place on Earth to see manta rays after dark. Nightly boats depart Keauhou and Honokohau harbors for shallow, plankton-rich sites where 12–15 foot mantas glide inches from your dive light.

Twilight Manta Ray Tour

The original Kona manta ray night snorkel at Manta Village off Keauhou Bay — the most reliable place on Earth to meet these gentle giants. Float on a lighted raft as powerful lights draw clouds of plankton, and the mantas rise from the dark to barrel-roll and feed just inches beneath you.
