Experience a 2-hour sunset cruise along the Kona coastline on the Big Island of Hawaii, culminating in a manta ray watching experience. The tour departs from Honokohau Harbor and cruises north beneath the shadow of volcanoes, with opportunities to spot turtles, eagle rays, monk seals, dolphins, and seasonal whales along the way.

At the manta ray site, thousands of lumens of light are shone into the ocean to attract plankton, drawing oceanic manta rays — the second largest species of manta ray in the world — up to the surface to feed. Guests watch from the deck as the mantas gracefully roll and feed beneath the boat. This is a deck-viewing experience only; no snorkeling or water entry is involved.

The tour includes light snacks, hot beverages (coffee, tea, hot chocolate), and cold beverages (water, sparkling water, soda). Guests are welcome to bring their own beverages onboard. The 40-foot vessel features shade, dry storage, and a bathroom. This ticket covers 1 admission. Operated by Sunlight on Water out of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
