One half hour before sunset, we meet at our kayak shop on the beach for orientation, wet suit fitting, mask snorkel fitting, and swim fin fitting. We launch our kayaks off our beach and take you on a short 200 yard paddle (about 5 minutes) to our viewing spot where we attempt to locate, identify and snorkel with the mantas as they glide through the water. We use a floating platform and dive lights to maximize your manta experience.

This trip lasts for approximately 90 minutes and is worth every penny! Capacity is limited, so book early!

Kayak, wetsuit, dive light, snorkel, mask and fins included.

We also offer this tour on any day at any time by arrangement with a minimum of 4 people. Please call (808) 326-4699 to arrange a tour.

Kayak, paddles, lifejackets, snorkel and mask included.

Now we head to the next cave which sits in a protected, clear, calm cove. We drop anchor here and raft our kayaks together. Ample time is allowed to snorkel the reefs. The tropical fish are abundant, and if you look, you may see: octopus, uhu (parrotfish), yellow tang, butterflies, wrasse, or even a crown of thorns. Exiting the water here, we climb up to a vantage point above the cove where we enjoy our snacks and cold drinks. We may even have wild parrots fly overhead as we eat. Often we walk over to the tide pools to watch the eels hunting A’ama crabs.

From our vantage point above the cove, the water looks clear and tempts many to jump off the 12 to 25 ft. cliffs into the water below. The water is plenty deep and safe. Many scaredy cats even jump off and end up doing the jump many times. Good photo opportunities may include catching mom or the kids jumping off a cliff in Kona!

After a refreshing break of an hour or so, we pack up and head off shore where we hope to ride the trade winds home. Arrival time back in Keauhou is at 12:00 noon (time for lunch and a nap at the beach).
