Come aboard the "Spirit of Kona", the world's only glass bottom manta ray watching boat for a unique Hawaiian experience. The "Evening on the Reef" sunset glass bottom dinner cruise combines the romance of a sunset cruise with the excitement of a Luau on the Water! The Spirit of Kona also offers nocturnal reef life viewed through the giant illuminated glass wells.
Enjoy a delicious dinner served buffet style as you watch the sun fall gently into the Pacific Ocean. After dinner, gather around the main deck glass bottom wells for a view of the night time reef. Guests who wish to remain on the upper deck can also enjoy the reef via an underwater camera that displays live video feed to a flat screen TV. Watch for reef life that can include tropical fish, turtles, sharks or other sea animals. The Kona Manta Rays will often make a late night appearance feeding on plankton drawn in by the underwater lights. You never know what Mother Nature might deliver.
Next it's time for the hula show where hula dances begin on the main deck stage and flows into the isles. Passengers are welcome to join in the fun. After the show, it’s your turn to hit the dance floor and dance the night away to a lively mix of oldies and contemporary music. We’ll have you dancing in the isles!
