Sunset Manta Snorkel and Scuba Diving Trip
Torpedo Tours runs this manta ray trip out of Honokohau Marina, heading to Garden Eel Cove, a sheltered bay where manta rays feed on plankton drawn in by underwater lights. Both snorkelers and scuba divers enter the water at the same site. Divers settle on the sandy bottom while snorkelers float above, and the mantas move through the group as they feed. The trip departs in the evening, putting participants in the water after sunset. Wetsuits, snorkel gear, scuba equipment, snacks, and beverages are all included. Guides in the water help anyone unfamiliar with mask and snorkel use, and the captain provides a briefing about manta ray behavior before anyone enters the water. The boat has a hot freshwater shower for rinsing off after the swim. There is no hotel pickup, so arranging independent transportation to Honokohau Marina is necessary. The marina is located off Kealakehe Parkway near the Kona airport, and parking is available near the fuel pumps at the F Dock area. Bring swimwear, a towel, and a camera.
About
Torpedo Tours operates evening manta ray excursions off the Kona coast of the Big Island, welcoming both snorkelers and scuba divers on the same trip. Guests check in at a meeting point along Kealakehe Parkway before heading out on the water as the sun goes down.
The listing notes age parameters, which the booking page displays. The meeting point is along Kealakehe Parkway in Kailua-Kona, and check-in takes place before the scheduled departure, so arriving on time matters.
This outing runs in the evening and works for those who want an in-water manta ray experience rather than a surface-level or above-water encounter.
