Activity Details
Prepare to amaze your friends and family with an adventure they’ll never believe: swimming with manta rays in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, at night, amidst a feeding frenzy. These magnificent creatures can grow up to 16 feet across and weigh over 1000 pounds. Named one of the “10 Things You Must Do in Your Lifetime” by The Travel Channel, this experience is truly one-of-a-kind and can only be experienced at three locations worldwide.

The check-in and departure point is just minutes from one of the Island’s most successful and consistent manta ray viewing sites. Watch in awe as these graceful giants glide beneath you, only feet away from the boat, in the tranquil waters of Keauhou Bay. It’s a nocturnal ballet you’ll never forget.
