Sea Paradise Hawaii has operated ocean tours from Keauhou Bay on the Kona Coast of Hawaii’s Big Island since 1985. Owner Richard Kersten pioneered the large-vessel, large-group manta ray snorkel tour format — opening an experience that had previously been limited to small dive groups. He also designed the custom Manta Flotation Device used on every manta tour.
Four tours depart from Keauhou Bay aboard the Hoku Nui, our 50-foot luxury sailing catamaran spaciously designed for 49 guests: Morning Snorkel Tour (World Famous Captain Cook Monument at Kealakekua Bay + Red Hill Area lava arches, breakfast and lunch included), Afternoon Snorkel Tour (World Famous Captain Cook Monument at Kealakekua Bay, light snacks), 1st Manta Ray Night Tour (Manta Village, sunset departure), and 2nd Manta Ray Night Tour (Manta Village, later evening).
Our manta ray sighting rate is 85-95% at Manta Village. Return free within 7 days if no mantas seen, space available. Named resident manta rays include Lefty (first identified 1979), Big Bertha (first identified 1991), Obama Ray, Koie Ray, Quarantina (2020), and Jolene Ray. Over 450 individual manta rays documented on the Kona Coast in partnership with Manta Pacific Research Foundation.
