Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour - Small-Group Adventure from Keauhou Bay

Life Changing with The Best Crew Ever!

Reviewed by: Marlene209c, 2022/01/06

It's true, discovering the Manta's is a must do on Kona and the best place is Keauhou Bay with the "Dolphin Discovery" crew. I chose this company based on their reviews and it was the best decision I made! Our family numbered 6 among an intimate group of 12, plus the crew. Everyone of the crew from the "in-water" guides (Justin & Chaz) to the Capt. and shore staff were AMAZING. Super helpful, patient, approachable, knowledgeable and everything a group could ask for and more! Equipment is top notch and the hot, lavender/chamomile tea & cookies after the swim/snorkeling is the perfect touch!! Thank you very, very much for making this one of the most memorable experiences we had in Kona!!

  • We LOVE Dolphin Discoveries 'Manta Adventure"!

Big Island ATV Tour & Ranch Off-Road Adventure from Hamakua - All About The View

Fantastic ATV tour as a Family Activity!

Reviewed by: Vishal, 2022/01/05

Fantastic tour for folks looking for an easy-paced ATV tour with insights into a working Hawaiian ranch. We had a great time as a family with elementary and high school aged kids and really enjoyed our first ATV adventure. Hosts are really welcoming and very knowledgeable of the local Hawaiian farming, trees, fruits and the Hamakua coast. This is not a thrill ride, and yet you come away with the experience of a lifetime. They really go over and beyond to accommodate the tour to your pace, preference and highlight the best of Mauka to Makai (Mountain to Sea), not to forget the breathtaking views of the coastline! We would highly recommend the tour for families and special kudos to our hosts - this tour would not be half as fun without them!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Great guide, but weather didn’t cooperate

Reviewed by: SarahB, 2022/01/03

Our guide was informative and personable, and made the best of a bad situation as we arrived to the visitor station to find the road closed due to bad weather, then had to wait for an accident to be cleared on our way back down.

We are being refunded, no complaints!

Kona Whale Watch Afternoon Tour - Honi Olani Catamaran 90-Min Cruise [Dec-Mar]

Very good experience!

Reviewed by: Laura and Noah, 2022/01/01

Whale watching with Hawaii Nautical was a great experience. The crew was very friendly and they had a great offer at the bar. We also got a lot of information on the whales and their habitat.
Don't have too high expectations when you go out in December. We only saw two whales, their backs and a few times their tails. From what we heard, January might be a better time to go whale watching.

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Great experience with awesome crew

Reviewed by: big island lover, 2021/12/29

We took the cruise last Thursday. The cruise time from the harbor to the site was a little long but worthful. The sunset view was beautiful. And we were so lucky to see a group of dolphins. The two girls were super nice and very helpful. Also, they offer a different price for people with ride-only. It was a great experience. I regret for not giving tips because my wallet was left in the car. I hope they could accept Zelle/Apple pay of tips later.

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Phenomenal experience!

Reviewed by: Suzie, 2021/12/29

The manta ray night snorkel was AMAZING! Our guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. They took the time to meet each one of us individually. Being in the dark ocean with these amazing creatures is a breathtaking experience that can’t be put into words or explained with videos. You just have to do it. We have 5-6 rays that barrel rolled under us continuously for about 20 minutes.

Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

One Word: Disappointed

Reviewed by: Chris, 2021/12/28

I paid for and experienced the sunset Manta Ray Night Time Snorkelling on Dec. 23, 2021. I completely understand that these are wild animals and that it's extremely unpredictable whether or not you'll get a good chance to see them up close and personal. That said, that is what this company is selling and what we are paying extremely good money for. if you are going to charge for it, then every effort should be made to deliver on that experience.

The crew overall did a decent job, but once we arrived at the area where the Manta Rays were supposed to be, I was surprised to see a huge number of boats of various sizes and setups. I then realized that perhaps our setup was not ideal. I noticed that some arrange the snorkelers in a circle or square formation, making it more likely for everyone to get a good view of the Manta Ray if it shows up. Our setup was just some floating paddle boards, and our particular location was not ideal. I would say all of us on our particular paddle board barely caught a glimpse of a Manta Ray, whereas others I believe based on what they said got a much better view. This was extremely disappointing. I'm sure those who did catch a good shot will talk about a different experience, but all of us who were on the boat paid good money, not just those who got a good view of the Manta Rays.

This makes it hard to recommend this particular outfit to others

Comments from activity operators

Aloha Chris, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve our tours. We are deeply sorry that your encounter with the Manta Rays fell short of expectations on our tour. Our captain and crew went to great lengths to provide a memorable experience, but the unpredictability of wildlife and ocean conditions can sometimes pose challenges. We hope you can join us again in the future to restore your impression of our tour and see more Mantas up close. Mahalo

짚라인을 하와이 와서 처음 타봤는데 난이도 아주 쉬운 코스부터 길고 난이도 있는 코스까지 단계적으로 진행해서 수월하게 액티비티를 즐길 수 있었어요.
스탭분들도 매우 친절하고, 코스를 이동하는 중간에 인근 마을의 특징 및 문화, 생태환경, 역사에 대한 다양한 안내도 해주셔서 지루할 틈이 없었습니다.
무엇보다 짚라인 장비를 매우 꼼꼼하게 체크해주시고 안전에 잘 신경써줘서 불안하거나 두려움 없이 온전히 재미에만 집중할 수 있었어요. 힐로 쪽 방문할 계획이 있으시다면 꼭 한번 해보시길 추천드립니다!! 아참 중간에 인근 농가에서 기르는 바나나도 먹을 수 있어요 ㅎㅎ 그래도 아침은 든든히 드시고 썬크림 잘 바르고 오시길 추천드려요 :)

Spirit of Aloha Kohala Coast Snorkel Tour with Lunch & Drinks - Hawaii Nautical

Delightful Snorkel Cruise

Reviewed by: Grandma Tess, 2021/12/22

Despite a windy day, Captain Cindy was able to find a great place to snorkel. The briefing provided by the captain described the best ways to snorkel. I learned something new! I felt safe as the crew had a member who went on a surfboard to watch over the participants.

I can’t believe the hospitality of the crew— serving drinks, food and snacks with ease.

This was one of the highlights of our trip.

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Sumi, 2021/12/22

We will give 5 *****, The tour was amazing. Derrick did an awesome job in keeping us all informed with many details and of course quizzed us as well. It was a fun trip. Thanks for taking care of the special request on our food as well. Food wise- it was very well organized and catered. Breakfast and coffee at the coffee plantation was very apt. Wine tasting and Lunch was very well paired. Snacks and soda at the waterfalls was cool! Raincoats and umbrella was very helpful when it started raining while heading to the volcano view point. Superbly planned and catered to everyone’s needs. We will definitely recommend our friends and family.

Great experience with Hawaii Nautical

Reviewed by: Irina, 2021/12/20

We saw two whales during our trip! We went on a tour in December, when the whale watching season just started, yet we were lucky to encounter two whales. The tour departed from Waikaloa, which was a bit of a drive from our place in Kona. However, it is supposed to be a better area for spotting whales. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience.

Hawaiian Eyes and our guide, Stefan were awesome to the nth degree. Funny, friendly, helpful, prepared, photographic prowess, and he even stopped to help an elderly woman, not attached to any tour, after she collapsed at the side of the road in a snow bank, due to altitude sickness. First aid training, oxygen tanks, blankets, and past experience likely saved her life.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

“STAR”gazing!

Reviewed by: Adventure Grandma, 2021/12/11

This tour was Amazing! We have traveled to many fabulous places around the globe with lots of adventure & this tour was right up there with the best! Our guide, Gage, was fun, informative, patient, and an all-round delightful young man! Having to reschedule due to the Kona Low & Mauna Kea blizzard was easy & ultimately a better tour due to lots of beautiful snow at the summit! Our guide prepared us well for the seriously high altitude and checked on everyone frequently! Be sure to pack hats & gloves and the tour provided parkas were plenty warm. A couple e of things to keep in mind before going: bring a refillable water bottle, remember to nose in & slow pursed lip breathing out, bring your camera or cell phone for pictures, visit the restroom at the visitor center so you won’t have to go at very high elevation, and eat before the tour begins (the provided dinner is pretty simple). Just pack a smile and enjoy the “high”! The stargazing with the telescope was extra special! Who knows, we saw a Jedi, a snowman, & a crazy snowboarder so maybe you will too! Thanks for a great memory!
