Snorkeling with Manta Rays – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience
Duration: 2.5 Hours
About the Tour:
Listed as one of the Top Ten Dive Sites in the world by National Geographic, the Kona Coast of Hawaii is arguably the best place on earth to experience snorkeling with Manta Rays. These gentle giants are known for their grace and beauty, making this activity an unforgettable experience. We will take you to a spot where Manta Rays gather to feed in the evening. Our spotlights attract plankton, which in turn attract the Manta Rays as they feed on these microscopic organisms. Sounds exciting? It truly is!
Manta Rays are completely harmless and will glide beneath you, performing somersaults and spins as you float on the surface, watching from a custom-built board.
