About this tour
The Afternoon Reef & Manta Snorkel/2-Tank Scuba Adventure from Kailua-Kona offers something truly special - a 4-hour journey that showcases exactly why Kona is home to some of the best scuba diving in the world. Departing from Honokohau small boat harbor, this #3-ranked boat tour (with 2,258 TripAdvisor reviews) welcomes both certified divers looking for a solid refresher and snorkelers eager to explore Kona's celebrated reefs. Note that dive certification is required for scuba participants.
Our warm waters and perfect visibility create ideal conditions for incredible marine encounters. You'll swim alongside giant sea turtles, dolphins, octopus, and discover caves where eels, scorpion fish, frog fish, leaf fish, and colorful nudibranchs make their homes. The beautiful coral formations here are stunning, and the varied underwater topography - with its caves and multiple depth zones - makes this one of the world's premier diving destinations.
But here's what makes this afternoon reef & manta snorkel/2-tank scuba adventure in Kailua-Kona unforgettable: the second dive brings you face-to-face with giant manta rays. National Geographic calls this one of the top dives globally, and once you see these graceful giants gliding through our waters, you'll understand why.
Check-in runs between 3pm and 4pm depending on sunset timing, and we operate daily with a minimum of 4 guests. We also offer mid-range 2-tank day dives and long-range 2 or 3-tank day dives (call to book). Private charters are available for a more personalized adventure.
Just remember our cancellation policy: 48-hour notice for groups of 6 or fewer, 72 hours for larger groups or private charters. Tour insurance is available, allowing you to cancel with at least 12 hours notice for a full refund (minus ticketing and insurance fees).
