Experience of a Lifetime! - Kona Style nailed it! Fantastic experience and one absolutely for the bucket list. We had Manta Rays all around us the second we hit the water and the entire time we were in the water. Great crew, great adventure and hospitality. As my 14 year old daughter was quoted saying by the captain. “It was sic!” 😀

Bucket list item!!! - This was a bucket list item I didn’t know I needed on my list! We had an amazing time sharing the water with these beautiful animals. Saw many more than we expected, they swam so close, and the crew told us so much about them and took such good care of us all. I will recommend this to everyone I know going to Kona!!!

Best Crew EVER!!!! - This manta ray night snorkel with Kona Style was hands down one of the most incredible things I’ve ever done—but what truly made it unforgettable was the crew!!! From the moment we stepped on the boat, they were fun, professional, and super attentive. Micah, Keawe, Maki, Bart, and Dan worked seamlessly as a team and kept the energy high with great vibes all around. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe & comfortable knowing I was in good hands from start to finish. You could tell they genuinely loved what they do & cared about making it special for every guest! Thanks you guys (: —Bekah ♡ Shininger

Amazing experience! - Originally we went on the sunset ride to see the manta rays. Beautiful sunset catamaran ride on the coast. How can you beat that! A night swim with mantas? Just remember this is not an aquarium, you are in the Pacific Ocean with wild animals. You cannot make them appear. Not one manta ray appeared. But it is a guaranteed trip and Kona Style will issue you a reride if there are no mantas. We decided to go a couple of nights later and went on the night ride. Wow! There were between 5-8 mantas there the second we hit the water and were there the whole time constantly doing acrobats right below us and swimming inches next to us! So worth it!

Amazing experience - Although we have been to the Islands many times and have done many activities we must say the late night manta ray snorkel with Kona Style is at the top of the list! The crew was outstanding and the boat comfortable getting us to and from the snorkel site, about 30 minutes down the coast from the King Kamehameha boat dock where you launch. We really didn’t know what to expect but everyone told us how amazing it truly is. They are not kidding. We had up to 8 mantas swimming below, and around us, circling up to within inches from touching us, all while we bobbed in the dark ocean, floating with pool noodles and hanging on to the floating light boards which attract the rays. The safety swimmers in the water with us were great. This is an awesome activity and Kona Style dose it right. We highly recommend them and this adventure

Amazing experience - The crew and experience were awesome. The Manta Rays were beautiful as they swam and looped effortlessly through the water, coming in close and personal. The crew and Captain were attentive and helpful to everyone, young and old. A truly once in a life time experience! Great job Kona Style!

Experience of a lifetime! - My mom and I booked this trip and it was SOOO worth it! The crew was all so friendly and helpful. We got to see sunset on the way out to the area and drinks were available. After suiting up and getting our gear, we got out in the water and had a wonderful experience. We saw so many rays and they were so close. It was just an amazing experience that I really don't even have words for. You just have to experience it for yourself. After about 40 min, we loaded back up and went to port. It was so much fun, I can't recommend this experience enough.
