Best Manta Night Snorkel I've ever experienced. - I have been on 5 different manta night snorkels with various companies and this was by far the best. I went the night if August 18th and saw several mantas the entire 45 minutes in the water which is rare. The crew was great and they found the absolute ideal spot for the mantas.

Watching the Mantas swim so close and dance their ballet was something not to be missed. Highly recommend Kona Style - This was my 2nd time Seeing the Mantas. First time on a catamaran with Kona style. The crew and captain were very fun yet professional. Safety for the people and mantas was top priority. Captain Jacques was young, yet knew exactly what he was doing. The Mantas appeared shortly after we were in the water. It was a beautiful evening watching these huge Mantas dance their ballet while feeding on the plankton sparkling in the blue lights. I highly recommend you do this at least once!

Amazing in all ways. - Amazing and unbelievable! It Is clear that Kona style has a great balance between safety and providing a fabulous experience! The crew was kind and helpful and gave very clear instructions. The staircase going down into the water was very helpful for those that were not extremely physically fit . Watching the matter was exhilarating and awesome. Not to be missed. I highly recommend this adventure.

Incredible Manta Dive - The Sunset and Manta rays were awesome!! Just Beautiful!
The Office staff and the Boat Crew were incredibly well trained and friendly.
The service was outstanding, and the crew was knowledgeable and professional.
The boat was clean and well maintained as was the snorkel equipment.
I would highly recommend Kona Style to my friends and acquaintances.

Not to be missed! - What a phenomenal experience this was! I would have loved to do it a second time it was so amazing. You hold onto a stationary board with lights that attract the plankton that the mantas feed on. They will touch you when they go by, they come so close. This was the highlight of our trip!

Konastlyle sunset and Manta Ray night duvr - If you do only one thing on the big island, this is it. Konastlyle crew is the best, and the Sunset/Manta Ray night dive is once in a lifetime.

Trip of a LIFETIME! - First off I never write reviews, but for these guys I had to. We went on the sunset cruise/manta night snorkel with Kona Style and had THE ABSOLUTE BEST TIME!!! I have been out with a different company for this night snorkel, but this crew was the best I’ve seen. They were so friendly and walked everyone through exactly what they would be doing. Getting into the ocean…at night…with large animals in the water can be intimidating. They were with you every step of the way and for someone who has been coming here for over 40 years, all I can say is this is a MUST DO!!! The mantas are so incredible and you won’t be disappointed!!!! Don’t miss out! We come back to this trip every year when we come out here to the Big Island. Mahalo Kona Style!!!

Dissapointing - Crew was great but tour was disappointing as we only saw 4 small mantas most at a distance and none up close, for a total period of about 20 seconds despite being in the water for about 40 minutes. Given the high cost of this tour and the hype associated with it, we were very disappointed with this outcome. I would recommend only doing this tour if you understand and are comfortable spending this kind of money for a minor encounter as for all I know this level of encounter could be the norm.
