Tour Description

Join us for an incredible experience only available on the Big Island of Hawaii. Every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday we take a trip in the evening, at sunset, down the coast in Kona to snorkel with manta rays.

These majestic creatures eat the plankton that is attracted to the lights we shine in the water. They swim, just inches away in great circles, eating as much as they can. We guarantee that you will see mantas or your next tour is free. This is approximately at 3 hour tour.

Guidelines

OBSERVE ONLY	No touching. Resist the urge to “pet” the mantas. This will rub off their protective mucus coating. Do not chase, grab, or try to take a ride on the mantas. This doesn’t benefit the animal in any way.
DIVER POSITION	Divers must stay on or near the sand, rubble or boulder bottom. An open water column is necessary for the mantas to maneuver. Avoid contact with coral, sea urchins, or other marine life. Form a semi-circle with your group.
SNORKELER POSITION	Snorkelers must stay on the surface and keep legs horizontal. Do not dive down into the water column.
LIGHTS	Divers please shine lights up into the water column to attract plankton. Snorkelers please shine lights down.
BUBBLES	Divers try to time your breathing so that you don’t blow bubbles up into the manta if it passes over your head.
TAKING PHOTOS or VIDEO	When taking underwater photos or video, be considerate of people and mantas. Minimize your equipment in the water column and let the mantas come to you.
