Fun experience! We would maybe do a later time frame (we were the first tour after sunset). One big beautiful Manta Ray made an appearance as we were exiting the water. It was majestic and mother doesn’t always provide a spectacle on queue, lol! It was a great experience though!

Do not recommend this tour company. Crew was not friendly and not helpful. Also we did not see Manta Rays

This is a once in a lifetime experience and it was worth every penny. Seeing the manta rays up close was a highlight of our vacation. My kids aged 14, 12 and 9 loved it!

"Ocean Encounters' Night Swim with Manta Rays in Kona, Hawaii, is an unforgettable experience that deserves a 5 star rating. The magical feeling of swimming alongside these gentle giants under the starry sky is incomparable. The guides were knowledgeable and prioritized both our safety and the well-being of the mantas. The equipment provided was top-notch, ensuring a comfortable and secure experience. Witnessing the mantas glide gracefully through the water, illuminated by the underwater lights, was mesmerizing and ethereal. This unique adventure is a must-do for anyone visiting Kona, offering a rare opportunity to connect with nature in a truly profound way.

It was so awesome, the mantas were huge and they were just dancing for the group. The Captain and crew were both amazing knowledgeable and funny. It was a great mix and we look forward to the next time were in kona to one of there other tours.

Drilled down in website for more info on where to meet/what to bring and somehow ended up with the wrong address for the meet up point.
Sat in traffic to get there & ended up in wrong spot. Called the tour & told them where we were, 22mim away, & they said the boat was leaving in 9min. As this was our finale activity on our last night in Hawaii, we could not reschedule. The tour was not fully booked, but Viator refused my request for a refund. An honest mistake, it’s not like we showed up drunk or belligerent. We were all utterly disappointed & upset we had made a mistake, but no understanding from them. $520 down the drain. I honestly think if it were up to the tour company, I would be reimbursed. However, it seems to be up to Viator.
So much for the aloha spirit!!

This was a good experience. The crew was efficient and professional. They made sure to keep everyone safe and helped people who were new to snorkeling feel comfortable. Seeing the Mantas so close (they will actually brush up against you while floating still.

The trip was a blast. We saw a whale and dolphins on the way out. The manta ray encounter was wild. The crew was great and took good care of my 8 and 6 year old kids, especially when the younger one got a little scared and wanted to take a break.

Crew was very professional. Boats were clean and new. The crew was very helpful. I could not believe how close these majestic sea creatures get to you (within inches). Well worth it!

This was one of the coolest things I have ever done. The Manta Rays were absolutely spectacular. It took a few minutes for them to arrive but when they did, they put on a show!! They swam all around us and did flips a few inches from our faces. It was truly an amazing experience.
