On these evening trips you float at the surface, usually holding a lit board or float, while manta rays feed below. Boats leave from Keauhou Harbor and Honokohau Harbor in Kailua-Kona, and some trips also offer scuba or a sunset or late-night departure.
Mantas are wild, so ask the operator what happens if none show up. Do not touch or chase them. Check each listing for the departure harbor, whether a wetsuit is provided, and the age policy.
