Snorkelers on the surface

The Manta Rays in Hawaii fins have evolved into wide triangular wings with which they use to “fly” through the water. Varying in size anywhere from 4-20 ft, makes them amongst the largest sea creatures anywhere in the world. The Hawaiian Manta Rays are fascinating and stunningly beautiful sea sights. Believed to have a lifespan of up to 25 years, this greatest of the ray family have been documented swimming at depths of up to 100 feet
These gentle giants will absolutely take your breath away. Unlike most of their relatives, Manta Rays have NO teeth, stinger or barbs and are completely safe to be around. You may be wondering why we go snorkeling with the Mantas at night? Scientifically, we believe they may feed most actively at night, when many planktonic creatures naturally rise to the surface, 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. It is exhilarating to be in the Ocean at night with the Mantas.
176 Manta Rays have been identified and named along the Kona Coast.
"Zach-a-ray" (seen below) is named for Zach Scott, son of Captain Danny Scott. he is approx. 6 ft across.
