This is one of the most amazing experiences I can report in my lifetime. We had 7 Mantas getting up close and personal with us. The guides were great, offering specific direction and help along the way to make it a great snorkel.

This was a truly amazing experience to have with my 16-year-old and 10-year-old kids. My daughter was a bit nervous to be in the ocean at night, but there was a beautiful full moon and we felt completely safe. We mustā€™ve seen at least 15 manta rays. They were constantly in our view and came so close to us that we felt their wings brushing against our bodies. It was like being in a movie. I was literally giddy with laughter every time a manta ray swooped right in front of my face. It was a perfect night. The drive back to Hilo on Saddle Road was not bad at all, so if you canā€™t get a room in Kona, no worries! This is worth the drive!
