Spend an unforgettable evening on the water off the Kona coast of Hawaii's Big Island with this manta ray night snorkeling experience. Head out at sunset from Honokohau Harbor to a site where underwater lights attract plankton, which in turn draw majestic manta rays with wingspans of up to 16 feet. Before you enter the warm Pacific, expert local guides brief you on manta behavior, conservation and safety. Wearing a wetsuit, mask and snorkel, with flotation if needed, you float calmly on the surface for 30 to 45 minutes while the mantas glide just inches below you, performing graceful barrel rolls in the glow of the lights. Professional guides watch over the group throughout, and snacks and drinks are included. With small groups of up to 16 participants, it is a personal, serene and safe way to enjoy one of the world's most remarkable wildlife encounters, and a highlight of any trip to the Island of Hawaii.
