Description
Swim with stingrays on a snorkeling adventure off the coast of Kailua-Kona. Choose to join the sunset boat tour or join the moonlight snorkeling experience with a later departure.
Join a boat tour from Kailua-Kona and swim with Manta Rays off the coast of Hawaii's Big Island. Choose the sunset boat tour or opt for a moonlight experience, watching the rays while you hold onto a floatation device.
Board the luxury zodiac vessel, the Kibou, at the Honokohau Small Boat Harbor and venture out to sea. Learn about Hawaii's culture, marine life, and the ocean before getting the chance to interact with the world's largest rays.
Once you arrive at your snorkeling destination, receive a safety briefing and get all the necessary gear. Then, hop into the waist-deep water and meet the rays. You'll spend around 30 minutes in the water swimming with these majestic creatures.
After your swim, warm up with a cup of tea or a hot cocoa while you make your way back to the harbor, where your tour comes to an end.
