Yes, previous snorkeling experience is required for this tour. All participants must also be confident swimming without a life jacket. These requirements exist because the activity takes place in open ocean water at night, and guests need to be comfortable in the water to safely enjoy the experience. In-water guides are present throughout the snorkel to help find feeding mantas and ensure guest safety and comfort. However, because this is an ocean activity with wild animals, conditions can vary. Having solid snorkeling skills before you arrive means you can focus on the encounter rather than managing the water.

The Late Manta Ray Snorkel departs after sunset, so guests will not see the sunset from the boat as they would on an earlier charter. There are also typically fewer people in the water on this tour, which can make for a less crowded experience around the mantas. According to Big Island Divers, the chance of seeing manta rays is the same on either charter. Both tours are snorkeler-only experiences with in-water guides, and both include the same gear - mask, wetsuit, and fins - as well as light snacks, filtered water, and hot chocolate on board.

Reservations canceled by phone at least 48 hours before your check-in time will be fully refunded. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice will be charged the full charter price. All changes, including cancellations and rescheduling requests, must be made by phone rather than by email. Big Island Divers' shop hours are daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time, so plan to call within those hours if you need to make changes. Rescheduling to a different date must also be done at least 48 hours before your original check-in time.

Big Island Divers does not provide transportation between local hotels, their shop, or the harbor. Guests must check in at the shop on Kaiwi Street in Kailua-Kona, where staff will provide a map to the harbor. Guests then drive themselves to the harbor, which is about 3 miles from the shop. If you need a ride, several taxi services operate in the Kona area, and Big Island Divers recommends Kona Taxicab at (808) 324-4444. Uber and Lyft are also available on the island, though the number of drivers can be limited, so planning ahead is wise.
