Unforgettable experience with Torpedo Tours
We enjoyed our experience with the daytime Aquatic Safari trip so much that we followed up with the sunset Manta tour; Mike and Rachael did an incredible job of making us feel comfortable (especially those of us a little more "snorkel-challenged"), and made the trips unforgettable. This is an independent business with over 30 years experience; we definitely recommend using Torpedo Tours!

First night out in Kona; dolphin sightings, Malolos, ticklish fish, and dancing mantas !
Rachel and Mike are the kind of guides I would actually vouch for and recommend to anyone. It was such a pleasure and it felt like we really had a lucky trip. It was educational, light hearted , and awe inspiring ; the boat ride there is a beautiful time, the boat ride back was so serene below the moon and stars, and being in the water with those luminescent lights below that burning sunset all while manta rays are twirling and dancing below you with various silver blue yellow fish tickling your legs make it such a strong recommendation I’d have to give. Do bring a towel though ! It may be a little chilly on the way back. Thank you Rachel, thank you Mike ❤️❤️

Great Manta Ray Scuba Experience
We had an amazing Manta Ray night dive with Ana, Rachel and Capt Mike. They took amazing care of our small group. They always made us feel safe and worked hard so we could see as Mantas as possible plus eels and other kinds of fish while we were diving. I loved that we were a pretty small group. Amazing experience, highly recommend Torpedo Tours!
Response from the operator: Mahalo for your review! We pride ourselves in small group sizes, and big adventures! Can’t wait to take you out again soon! Mahalo !

BEST Manta Ray tour!
Rachael, Ana and Mike did an absolutely amazing job teaching us about manta rays and their role in the big island. We felt very safe as safety is their first priority. We had a fantastic time viewing the rays which were inches away from us. Such beautiful and graceful beings. So jealous they get to do this every night. Job well done and we really appreciate you!!
Response from the operator: Safety is absolutely our number one priority!! Our second priority is ensuring our guests have an amazing time! Mahalo for your review!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Dive: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Island of Hawaii.
How much does Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Dive cost?
+
Prices start at $220 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Big Island of Hawaii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Dive take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Big Island of Hawaii is not rushed.
Is Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Dive worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Big Island of Hawaii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Dive?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Dive suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Dive?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Big Island of Hawaii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Big Island of Hawaii and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Dive start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Big Island of Hawaii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
The Big Island is volcano country: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tours, Mauna Kea summit stargazing, night manta ray snorkels off Kona, Waipio Valley lookouts and coffee farm visits. Summit tours have real altitude rules, so we weight safety detail. On Outty we rank every Big Island of Hawaii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings, Big Island in a Day: Volcanoes Waterfalls Sightseeing and History, Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Big Island of Hawaii?
+
April to October, though the island runs year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
