Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Tour
Why go snorkeling with Mantas Rays at night? Although Mantas are most commonly seen during daylight hours, it's only because that's when most observers are in the water. Scientifically, we don't know exactly what Mantas do at night or how active they are, but they may feed most actively at night, when many planktonic creatures naturally rise surfaceward, providing a rich bounty on which Mantas may feed. Using dive lights, we are able to attract concentrations of these plankton and therefore attract the Mantas.
Manta Rays are Among Hawaii's most Fascinating Creatures
Unlike most of their relatives, Manta Rays have NO stinger and are completely safe to be around. We invite you to have yet another experience of a lifetime...a night snorkel with these angels of the Ocean.
Sometimes referred to as the "Butterflies of the Sea", these graceful animals are a sight that must been seen in person. Manta rays are beautiful sea creatures that live in warm tropical waters. Their side fins have evolved into wide triangular wings with which they use to "fly" through the water. Theses wings range from 4-20ft, making them amongst the largest sea creatures anywhere
