Activities

*Please note only one activity selection will be hosted by HP & AMD during the event. There are many things to do on the island of Hawai'i and we encourage you to take advantage during your free time! Visit with the Mauna Lani's concierge or check out the resorts daily scheduled activities taking place on-property.

Manta Ray Night Snorkel

Snorkel in the darkness of night in the waters of the Pacific Ocean as manta rays, some as large as 16ft across and weighing up to 1000lbs, gracefully glide beneath you. The Travel Channel named this tour one of the 10 things you must do in your lifetime, and they would be correct. An amazing and unique experience that may only be done at three places on the entire planet.

Depart just minutes from Kona’s most successful and consistent manta ray viewing location. These gentle glorious giants soar beneath you as you leisurely and safely view them from above, just feet from the boat and the mouth of Keauhou Bay. A nocturnal ballet you won’t soon forget.

*Please note this activity takes place on Monday night, February 10th. Dinner will still be on your own prior to the tour’s departure from the Mauna Lani.

The Auberge Spa

Heal from within at the Auberge Spa, where treatments feature the regenerative benefits of Hawaii’s tried and true wellness methods, passed from one generation to the next. Showcasing thoughtful practices that support a more sustainable Hawai’i, the Auberge Spa spotlights traditional treatments, professional therapists and exclusive concoctions crafted with homegrown plants and botanicals. Both individual and couples massages are available. *Please note the Auberge Spa at Mauna Lani Resort is simply a treatment-only facility. No other amenities are included with your spa appointment.

Whale Watching Tour
