Big Island Sunset Manta Snorkel Offers Magical Evening Ocean Encounter
A sunset manta snorkel experience along the Big Island coastline is offering visitors a rare opportunity to witness graceful manta rays in their natural feeding grounds. Set against the backdrop of golden evening skies and calm ocean waters, the excursion combines scenic cruising with a unique marine wildlife encounter. The journey takes place aboard a comfortable vessel traveling to a known manta feeding site offshore.
As the sun begins to set, participants enter the water and float at the surface to observe manta rays gliding effortlessly below. The animals are illuminated by underwater lights, creating striking silhouettes as they feed in the darkening sea. The calm conditions and structured guidance allow guests to focus fully on the natural spectacle unfolding beneath them.
Throughout the experience, expert crew members provide commentary on manta ray behavior and the surrounding marine ecosystem. Their insights help visitors better understand the ecological role of these gentle ocean giants. The combination of education and observation enhances the overall significance of the encounter.
With professional safety supervision and snorkel guidance, the experience is designed to be both accessible and immersive. The contrast of sunset colors, glowing water, and moving manta rays creates a memorable and tranquil atmosphere. This guided snorkel tour is widely regarded as one of the Big Island’s most distinctive evening marine adventures.

Adam, Cherie & Captain Cori top notch!!! Great information and safety 10 stars we had a beautiful green flash night manta’s within 30 seconds of diving in I saw about 20 mantas . We took the evening whale watch pre-manta tour And we saw mama humpback’s & baby humpbacks , sharks& dolphins. It was exceptional.
Awesome sightings, including a baby whale frolicking alonside its mom, lots of breaches and playful tail splashes. The mantas were amazing. Ask your crew any questions you have, they have lots of cool info. The rays all have fun names so be sure to ask which ones you have seen. Thank you Adam, Sheri and Captain Cory!
Unforgettable manta ray night snorkel experience! This was hands down one of the most magical experiences I’ve ever had. The mantas came incredibly close - gliding right past me and looping just inches away (which I managed to catch on the GoPro). At one point, we counted 8 mantas swimming around us at the same time, which felt unreal. A huge shoutout to Shaili, who made the entire experience fun, comfortable, and exciting for everyone. Her energy, guidance, and passion really elevated the night and helped everyone feel at ease in the water. This is a must-do experience in Kona, and I’d 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting!
