Evening on the Reef-Glass Bottom Sunset Dinner Cruise
Kona's only table seated full dinner cruise!
This 2 hour glass bottom sunset dinner cruise is like
no other. Welcome aboard the Spirit of Kona where you will be greeted with
island aloha and be seated with unobstructed views of the coast line, sunset
and sea life! Award winning musicians will set the mood with your favorite hawaiian
tunes and a selection of classic rock and country music. A full course dinner and
your favorite cocktail will be waiting for you. As you dine experience the
breathtaking sunset and coastal scenery. Along the way look for the Spinner
Dolphins that often escort us on many of our tours (Humpback Whales December
through April). Once the sun goes down the underwater lights go on! The captain
will maneuver us over the reef where nocturnal fish and the Kona Manta Ray come
to feed. Watch these giant creatures dance the underwater ballet as they feed
on the microscopic plankton attracted by our glass bottom underwater lights. Don't forget to
bring your camera. As we head back to port the Polynesia show will begin.
Beautiful hula dancer will perform the ancient art of Hula in authentic costume. Soon
you too will feel the beat and can't help but join in the fun and dance the
rest of the night away. Learn More.
Manta Watch
No need to get wet! Watch the
Giant Kona Manta Rays perform an underwater ballet while you stay dry,
safe, cozy and comfortable on the decks of the glass bottom boat, Spirit of Kona.
High intensity lights illuminate the underwater scene. Watch through
the large glass bottom windows as the giant manta ray enters and feeds
on the plankton forming near the lights under the boat. Seen up close
and just inches from the glass, the experience is fabulous. Snap
photographs and video to take home to share with your family and
friends, and do it all while enjoying your favorite cocktail or soft
drink.
Until the introduction of the Spirit of
Kona, with its large
glass bottom windows, the only way to see the Giant Kona Manta
Ray was to get into a cold black ocean at night in scuba or snorkel
gear. The Spirit of Kona is equipped
with underwater lighting to draw in the plankton that the Giant Manta
Rays feed on. It is the newest most popular way to view these graceful
animals with the whole family, young or old.
Scuba divers and snorkelers in the water
often unwittingly rub against the fragile coral damaging it. Boat
anchors dropped on the reef destroy the fragile ecosystem beyond repair.
View responsibly without all the risk to the reef and the life that
need it to live. See the Giant Manta Ray from the decks of the Spirit of Kona. The most eco friendly and responsible way to view these amazing animals.
Now, Blue Sea Cruises will offer guaranteed sightings or come again absolutely free! If you don't see Manta rays while on the Blue Sea Cruises Manta Watch cruise.
