What To Expect

We have one of the best rafts for manta viewing. Suitable for kids and non-swimmers. Comfortable 45 ft Zodiac. Hawaii is considered the #1 place in the world to view manta rays. The Manta Rays here in Kailua Kona have become conditioned where to go each night to find an easy meal; feeding on the plankton that is attracted by our underwater lights...which makes locating them easy for us! The Manta Rays wing span can reach over 20 feet across and weighing upwards of 1,000 pounds. Viewing these creatures is a wonderful experience and one to remember
