Frequently Asked Questions
Where do we meet for the Big Island Manta Ray Dive?
When you book your adventure, you'll receive a confirmation email with a delightful “Get Directions” button that will take you straight to Google Maps! First, your journey begins at our retail store in the Keauhou Shopping Center (78-6831 Alii Drive, Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i 96740, Space F-146)—the sign on the door reads 174. Once you've checked in, you’ll hop in your vehicle for a quick jaunt down to Keauhou Bay, where unforgettable memories await!
What time are the Hawaii Manta Ray Dives, and which slot should I attend?
It’s best not to arrive more than 10 minutes prior to your designated check-in time, which is conveniently outlined in your booking confirmation email. Whether you choose the 5:00pm, 6:00pm, 7:00pm, or even 8:00pm slot, you can rest assured that as it gets dark, the enchanting world of manta rays will come alive right before your eyes!
Is it necessary to sign a waiver for the Manta Ray Dives in Hawaii?
Absolutely! As soon as you receive your booking confirmation email, kindly sign your waiver—there's a handy link included for online completion. Each adult needs to sign their own, but only one adult signature is required for each minor. Safety first!
How deep is the water during the Manta Ray Dives in Kona?
During this captivating night snorkel, expect depths of around 35 to 40 feet. Our illuminated boards ensure you'll have a front-row seat to the wonders below as you glide through the mesmerizing waters alongside the marine life.
Can I swim freely with manta rays in Hawaii?
While you'll be swimming right next to these majestic beings, free swimming isn’t feasible. Snorkels and fins pose potential risks to the manta rays, and touching them can compromise their skin—no good! Instead, you'll be treated to views from a safe distance, as they often come within arm's length, showcasing their beautiful grace.
What should I bring along for my Big Island Manta Ray Dive?
We recommend arriving in your swimsuit and a light cover-up, plus don’t forget a towel for your post-snorkeling warmth and comfort. There’s space on our boats for small bags only, so please keep that in mind. And if you prefer to bring your own snorkeling gear, just remember to leave your fins behind!
What's included in my Manta Ray Dive boat tour?
Your adventure includes gear necessities—we provide masks, snorkels, short-sleeved wetsuit tops, and even pool noodles to keep you comfortable while floating. You can also rent snorkel vests, but remember: swimming skills are required!
