FOR 5 CONSECUTIVE YEARS, OUR SNORKELING TOURS IN KONA EARNED TRIPADVISOR'S CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE
What a fantastic way to spend an hour in the evening. We had 5 or 6 Manta's swimming within inches of us. The guide Jenn was excellent and helped keep us positioned for best viewing and helped some other guests that were not as experienced in the water and needed help with noodles. Captain Kai did a great job with the briefing and navigating around other boats with lots of folks in the water in the dark. Felt extremely safe and what a fun experience to have huge Manta's swim so close they rub against you. Highly recommend this experience and company.

The captain and crew/guides were great. At one point had 6 Manta Rays gliding under us. We had plenty of time to enjoy the graceful beauty the Rays shared with us.

This was by far the best ocean experience I have had on my trip. Captain Shelly and Conner were so knowledgeable and they made it fun!

The crew for Dolphin Discoveries were great in keeping us all safe and informed during our night snorkel. It was an amazing experience to see these beautiful manta creatures in their habitat. I would highly recommend this adventure for anyone kids and adults, an experience of a lifetime with my 13 year old daughter. We saw 3 gigantic mantas doing their thing up close and personal. Mahalo to the crew!

You cannot miss this opportunity if you are on the Big Island! It was truly one of the most amazing experiences my family and I have ever had. Not sure if we were just extra fortunate, but managed to see a constant flow of manta rays during the 45 minutes we were in the water. The experience felt so surreal as you watched these beautiful creatures swimming right below you - inches from your face.

It was such a wonderful experience! We saw so many manta rays! The guides were super helpful and kept us entertained all throughout the night. They made sure that everyone felt comfortable. They were very knowledgable and told us many facts throughout the whole trip. I've gone to other night manta ray snorkeling, but the tour with Dolphin Discoveries was by far my favorite! You can tell that the crew really care for their customers.

This was a fantastic experience. We saw so many manta rays during this trip! Those 45min in the water flew by as we had multiple rays barrel roll right beneath us, sometimes less than an inch away. Well organized and exactly as described. Appreciated that they provided wet suit tops and snorkel gear. Our trip was the 7:30pm time slot and we were back to our car by around 9:30.
