The first big treasure of this trip is experienced long before you even reach a diving spot. Kona is an amazing city, and it is made only that much more beautiful at night when the lights flick on to stave off the dark. This casts the coastline in a dazzling display of lights on the black backdrop of the uninhabited areas. It is truly beautiful to behold, and makes for a great view while you munch on some snacks, zipping over the water to your destination.

Watch The Underwater Dance

Manta rays have a truly unique way of collecting food. As filter feeders that seek out plankton, they gracefully swim through the water to scoop up their tiny food. However, what makes mantas special is the barrel rolls they perform when doing this. The strange but beautiful motion serves a simple but important purpose. It allows the manta rays to clear large sections of water all at once, collecting large amounts of plankton in a single pass. It helps them eat better, and it is so very beautiful to witness!

Description

What could be better than watching manta rays play and swim through the waters at night? Nothing, as far as we’re concerned! Give us the chance to show you firsthand just why watching the mantas is one of the most beloved activities in Kona. Journey out over nighttime waters to a fantastic dive spot, and let us teach you all about the local area, its sea creatures, and more in a beautiful nighttime boat ride.

Once you reach the dive spot, the adventure is only just beginning! Just under the waves, there is a world of life and wonder. Arcing lights down into the gloom, we attract plankton. That way, once you dive into the water with the help of our guides, it is only a matter of time until the manta rays show up.

Gracefully swooping through the water, these amazing animals scoop up the plankton with barrel roll motions that let them clear large amounts of water with little effort. It helps them feed better, and they look so majestic doing it. These animals are very intelligent and know that we are watching them. They love to show off. So, enjoy the performance, and make memories that will last forever!
