About:

There's nothing like being out on the ocean enjoying the beautiful Hawaiian sunset and listening to soft Hawaiian music. Adventure X Boat Tours seek to do just that, but wait, there's more.

We anchor in about 20 feet of water with a beautiful sandy bottom and talk about how to behave with our Wild Manta Rays as well as learn some fun facts about these Reef Mantas. Once everyone has their gear and our guides get in the water, its time for you to hop in and meet these amazing animals! Did you know that Manta Rays have the largest brain out of all fish? You will learn more than that!

Watching these amazing creatures somersault in front of you multiple times, close enough to where you could kiss them, is a once in a lifetime experience. Afterwards, hot chocolate and snacks will be served on board. On the way back to the pier, you'll enjoy the beautiful starlit sky and maybe even see the bioluminescence.

Wild Animal Policy – Manta Ray Guarantee

Manta Rays are wild animals, and while we cannot guarantee their presence, we are proud to have a 90%+ success rate of sightings on our tours. However, nature can be unpredictable.
If no Manta Rays are seen during your tour, we’re happy to offer you a free “Come Again” trip on a standby basis. Here's how it works:
✅ 100% Free Return Trip – Valid only if no Manta Rays are sighted.
✅ Standby Basis Only – Space is limited and subject to availability.
✅ Non-Transferable – Must be used by the original guest.
✅ Valid for One Year – From the date of your original tour.
🎟️ Standby Check-In – “Come Again Free” spots are given out daily at 3 PM, first come, first served.
Please note:
We do not offer refunds, as operating this tour involves significant costs regardless of sightings. We appreciate your understanding that wildlife encounters cannot be guaranteed.

Departing from the West side of the Big Island, conditions are typically calm, but there’s always a motion to the ocean. Sea sickness is uncommon on these tours, but for those who are susceptible we suggest taking seasickness medication the night before and the morning of your tour. We suggest staying hydrated, avoiding heavy foods, and abstaining from alcohol before your tour.

Restrictions: No one Pregnant over 6 months, no guests with back or neck injuries. No children under the age of 5 years old.
