Q&A

Q: Is it safe for kids? What’s the age limit for the night snorkeling?

A: Yes, kids aged 8 and up can join, but they need to be comfortable in the water. Eka Canoe Adventures provides flotation devices and wetsuit tops for warmth, which helps a lot. Just make sure your kids can snorkel a bit, as the experience can be a little overwhelming if they're nervous. Overall, it’s an amazing bonding experience!

Q: How do weather conditions affect the tour? Can they cancel last minute?

A: Weather is a big factor for this experience, especially since it’s at night. They’ll check conditions and may cancel if it's unsafe, but they'll usually let you know at least a few hours in advance. Just keep an eye on the forecast, and if you have to reschedule, they’re pretty flexible with that as well!

Q: What should we wear? Do we need special gear for the night snorkeling?

A: You’ll want to wear a swimsuit underneath, but Eka provides wetsuit tops for warmth, which is super helpful since it can get a bit chilly at night. Also, bring a towel and maybe a light jacket for after. They provide everything else you need for snorkeling, so just relax and enjoy!

Just booked the Manta Ray snorkeling... any tips?

Hey everyone! I just booked the night snorkeling experience with Eka in Kailua-Kona for my boyfriend's birthday. We're both super excited but a little nervous about the whole thing. I know it’s a small group size which is nice, but what should we expect? Are there any must-haves to bring along? Would love any advice from those who’ve done it!

Manta Ray Night Snorkeling – An Experience of a Lifetime!

Wow, we did the Manta Ray snorkeling with Eka last week, and it was mind-blowing! Swimming with those gentle giants was surreal. The small group made it way more personal, and they really took care of us. Plus, the historic canoe was so cool! If you’re on the fence about this as a gift, just do it!
