Description

Manta Ray night snorkel is a must-do while in Hawaii. It’s a lifetime opportunity to see up close giant manta rays at night feeding and interacting with other ocean creatures under the neon lights. Join us for a memorable and magical moment as we watch beautiful manta rays gracefully gliding through the water. („Ride along” option also available for those that do not wish to snorkel) After a safety briefing, gear up with the snorkeling equipment and wet suit tops provided. Relax and enjoy the cruise with drinks and snacks on board. Bring your underwater camera for photos and capture memories that will last a lifetime. It takes about 20/30 min boat ride to get to/from the manta sight and about 45 min water/watch time. Once we get to the manta sight, you’ll get ready to get in the water. Crew will put in the light boards to which you’ll be holding on while in the water at all times. Light attracts plankton and make a feast for the manta rays. Lay flat and enjoy the show!
