It was an ethereal experience to have these huge majestic creatures swimming right up to us as we floated above them. We learned a great deal about these 12ā€™+ manta rays which made it even more personal. All are uniquely marked and so, are named. What fun to meet a few!

Thanks for joining us Kathleen. Snorkeling with over 12 different mantas is an EPIC night. I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that we were able to share some interesting manta facts with everyone in your group. Mahalo for the review and we hope to see you again. Aloha.

Do NOT miss this experience!!! We met at the dock at 9:40 for the 10:00 pm excursion. We were nervous about jumping into the dark ocean and about being cold but all of those worries subsided as we put on the wetsuits and received a tutorial of what to expect. Fortunately we had a calm, clear nite! The boat ride took only about 5 minutes because the site is not far from the doc. Upon arrival we jumped from the side of the boat, grabbed the floating spotlight platform and put our faces into the water, breathing through our snorkels. It requires no effort on your part except to hold on and watch. The viewing lasted 30 minutes. Several mantas put on a show, coming so close as to brush against us. It was thrilling and mesmerizing. Notes:. If you've never snorkled before, ask for a tutorial at the van. You must have enough upper body strength to climb the ladder back into the boat. This is suitable for children. Definitely DO NOT miss it.!

This is a once and a lifetime opportunity to swim with the manta rays and we encourage everyone to try it. It was a little scary jumping into the water late at night, but we had a great time.
