Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka / Manta Ray Snorkel
Magical!!
Hands down a memorable experience. I absolutely loved it and want to go back ASAP. I went in September and I still can't stop thinking about it. The parking was right in front of the loading area. The crew was welcoming right away. They got us set up with gear and even let us use our own gear if we brought. They had snacks and beverages on board. We got to watch the sky light on fire for sunset as we sailed out to where the mantas were. Lots of other companies were around in the harbor as well but the crew made sure to stay a safe distance away without disrupting the other experiences. And !!for the main event!! we saw SIX manta rays! Maybe more. They were so beautiful and flipping right underneath us. The captain also shared some knowledge atop the floating mat while we snorkeled so we could hear her stories while appreciating the creatures. The mantas stuck around the whole time. When it was time to head back in, the crew treated us to hot chocolate. They were also happy to share footage they took during the experience. I fully appreciated their generosity. I would definitely go back and do this again with Iruka! And a BIG MAHALO to HawaiiActivities.com and the Hawaii Reef Hero contest for making this possible for me and my friends <3

Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Friendly Local Crew (BYOB) - Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat / Sunset Cruise
Fun time with the group
Booked this cruise for the marine biologist boyfriend's birthday! Thought it would be cool to be on a glass bottom boat and see down below. To be honest there wasn't too much to see but maybe that's our luck. Also it was tough because it was a crowded ride which is to be expected for any shared experience, but even 10 less people could have made the space on the boat more workable. On the bright side, we saw an awesome sunset and it was BYOB! The crew was cool, played some awesome tunes, and kept us safe -- that's what matters!
