This cruise is the perfect way to begin your evening in paradise – it’s a sunset party on the water! You'll enjoy the warm tropical breezes and unparalleled views of the Big Island from aboard our well-appointed power and sailing catamarans. Sip on refreshing tropical juices, soft drinks and a selection of beers, wines, and cocktails, as well as a wide variety of cold appetizers.
What to bring:
We suggest guests wear casual wear and bring a light jacket. We also suggest hats, sunscreen and cameras (though pretty much everyone travels with a phone these days so I guess the camera suggestion is a little old-fashioned).
Boarding the shuttle boat ramp at Anaeho'omalu Bay requires guests walk through some water on the shoreline. Depending on wind and sea conditions on the day of the cruise that water could be knee deep or higher so guests might want to bring a towel too.
Check-in Information:
departing from the beach at Anaeh'omalu Bay at the Waikoloa Beach Resort at 4:00 PM (with a 3:30 check in at our Beach Hut at the bay).
Driving Directions
From the Kona International Airport:
- Go to Highway 19 (the only exit from the airport), and make a left hand turn onto the Highway. Drive for about 25 minutes till you reach the traffic light and the entrance to the Waikoloa Beach Resort.
- Turn left into the resort onto Waikoloa Beach Drive. You’ll pass by the Queen’s Marketplace on the left, then the King’s Shops on the right, followed by the entrance to the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa.
- Just past the resort entrance you’ll see a left hand merge lane – merge into this lane and turn left towards the gated community called “Kolea”.
- To the left of the locked gate you’ll see the entrance to the Beach Access Parking Lot. The paved path to the beach begins just ocean-side of the circle turn-around.

As we motor out from Honokohau Harbor in Kona, Hawaii to the Dive site (which is about 20-30 feet deep) our crew will go over some fun facts about our Manta Rays and other specific info you will need for your adventure.
As the sun sets and it turns into night, the flashlights come on and the ocean is lit up electric green like the Emerald City from the Wizard of Oz.
The Manta Rays come close and perform somersaults underneath you while they eat the plankton that gets concentrated by the lights.
Our Manta ray tour is a 2.5 hour tour . Once you arrive and get checked in you will be provided with a wetsuit top and snorkel gear. We will depart at 5:30pm. Getting to the manta site takes around 25-30 minutes. While we are heading there we will have a brief run down about what we are doing and what to expect. Upon arrival at the manta site we will be in the water from 35-45 minutes. Mantas will be swimming up to the board feeding on plankton. Water and snacks are provided.
Please make sure to bring a towel and something warm to wear when you get out of the water.
