Start your adventure with a moonlight sail aboard the Hokulani, Sea Paradise’s spacious 45-foot trimaran. Your destination is the World Famous Manta Ray Village off the Kona Coast. Going on a manta ray night snorkel in Hawaii is an otherworldly and unforgettable experience. The Travel Channel says, “It’s one of the top ten things to do in your lifetime.”

In the Water:

For our snorkeling guests, our crew will guide you onto our state-of-the-art “manta floatation device.” Guests of all ages and skill levels can hold onto this float that drifts above the manta rays. You’ll watch in awe as these majestic manta rays glide and loop, feeding on microscopic plankton attracted to the light sources attached to the float.

To wrap up your amazing Hawaii snorkel tour, we’ll provide some light snacks and a warm cup of hot cocoa for your sail home. Snorkel time is approximately 45 minutes. Don’t want to snorkel? That’s okay too. For our ride-along guests, you can watch the majestic manta rays from the comfort of our 45-foot trimaran.
