Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour
Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour
Manta rays are remarkable creatures. Adult Manta Rays are BIG: 12-16 feet wide. They are also graceful, slow moving, strange looking fish that will mesmerize you by the underwater ballet – performing slow, graceful somersaults, dives and turns in the water column, coming within a foot of their audience, you!
Mantas have weird, alien like looks with odd large mouths and two attached “paddles” designed to gather and direct plankton and themselves. These large mouths also allow you to view inside the Manta and see through their gills. Many guests call the Manta Ray a surreal experience
Tours Include:
- Boat Transport – Trips depart Keauhou Bay – a short 5 minute boat ride to the manta site – makes this your best choice for a manta ray experience. The boat ride is completely within a protected bay not along exposed ocean conditions.

The Mantas sift the plankton through their gill plates to ingest the plankton. Manta Rays are harmless without stingers or teeth.
