Full description

As you arrive at Keauhou Bay you will be fitted for wetsuits and then board a 50 ft spacious sailing Catamaran. As the sun sets you will coast to the World Famous Manta Ray Village. A quick boat ride and you will arrive at the site where expert tour guides will provide you with a knowledgeable and professional briefing as they prepare you to enter the water. After the briefing the crew will guide you onto a state of the art manta floatation devise. Here you will float above the manta rays as they dance below you feeding on microscopic plankton. The plankton rises from the bottom of the ocean at night and is attracted to the light source attached to the manta float. As your incredible snorkel experience with these gentle rays comes to an end, your crew will guide you back onboard where snacks and hot cocoa await. Snorkel time is approximately 45 minutes.

The group were well organised and equipment and boat were modern, the diver that kept an eye on us was very informative and the manta rays were plentiful and an amazing experience. We were in the water for about 45 minutes which is long enough when you are not moving around. Definitely worth the experience.

Exciting experience. Love that they have corrective lenses masks. Everything was great. Just wish they had a place at the harbor to change out of our wet swimsuits before getting into the car to drive back to hotel. The public restrooms at the harbor were locked up for the night by the time we returned to the dock and left the catamaran. And the harbor driveway/parking lot needs to be better lit for maximum safety of people walking to their cars while other cars are already leaving. We used our flashlight apps to help us see and be seen. More lights on the property would have been better. One tip: Definitely keep your arms straight during the snorkeling while holding onto the floating dock. It will help prevent shoulder and neck fatigue.
