The island quiets. The night air softens. Under a canopy of stars, the waters off Keauhou Bay begin to glow as plankton rise from the deep—and Kona’s graceful manta rays begin their midnight dance. 

❓ Questions & Answers

From Keauhou Bay, Sea Paradise Hawaii operates Morning and Afternoon Snorkel Tours, Manta Ray Night Tours with a Manta Guarantee, and customizable private charters aboard the luxury catamaran Hoku Nui. Each tour blends education, ocean adventure, and genuine aloha.

Guests who plan to snorkel must know how to swim for their safety, and we do not teach swimming onboard. However, non-swimmers can still enjoy the experience by relaxing on deck as they sail taking in the breathtaking views of the lava sculpted coastline and keep a watchful eye for sea life. For manta tours we have a Ride Along option to view manta rays above from the comfort of our spacious luxury vessel.

Sea Paradise supports manta ray research by partnering with organizations such as the Manta Pacific Research Foundation. We follow strict viewing guidelines, educate guests about manta behavior, and share resources like the Manta Identification website so visitors can learn more and contribute to ongoing conservation efforts.

Sea Paradise is considered eco-luxury because we combine the comfort of a 50-foot sailing catamaran, professional crew, and high-quality gear with reef-safe practices, educational briefings, and certified eco-tourism standards. Guests enjoy a premium experience that still prioritizes sustainability, cultural respect, and the long-term health of Kona’s reefs and manta habitats.
