A once in a lifetime experience! You cannot miss this excursion when in Kona! Just do it! You can't touch the manta rays but they can touch you! They come soooo close to you! One actually touched me 5-6x, I thought it was asking to be pet! There is no better company to do this with than Hawaii Island & Ocean Tours. We watched as 20-30 other people floated in the water with other tours while HI&OT only allows a max of 6 people!!! If you are scared, it definitely felt much safer as the guides had less people to watch.

This was one of the highlights of all of my trips around the world. Manta rays (plural) swimming literally an inch from you and coming at you from all angles. What a treat! Heard their success rate is very high; but do reserve early on in your trip since it's very popular. Also, you have multiple bites at this apple if luck isn't on your side on the first try. Minor watchpoint: Despite the wetsuits, the water was very cold, made worse by the fact that you have to latch onto the raft and can't really swim around to generate heat. But this is all well worth it when the manta rays put on a show.
