Review of Kona’s Manta Ray Night Snorkel, with honest tips on timing, seasickness, swimming skills, gear, safety, and value.

“Kid and family friendly. Core memories weee created with my family. The boat ran very efficiently. Don’t take long to get to our destination and in the waters to witness our first manta. This was past our daughter’s normal bedtime, so was worried it would not go as well with a child that might want to go to bed. Nope, the excitement, with the efficiency made it work out great.”

Again the tour guilds made the trip a lot of fun”
