Experience Of A Lifetime: Amazing Giant Mantas Glide & Somersault Within 

Inches 

This was an incredible encounter with the Kona Manta Rays at the Keahole Bay

 (near the Kona Airport), on the  Big Island of Hawaii, one of the very few 

locations you can swim with manta rays.   The Kona Coast is the best place 

to spot manta rays in Hawaii, and the manta ray night swimming  is unlike 

anything you will find on any other island. At night, spotlights are used to

 attract plankton which in turn attracts the mantas that feed off the 

plankton.  Our tour took off an hour or so before sunset from Honokohau 

Harbor just north of Kailua-Kona. As night fell, with the help of these 

lights and attracted by the plankton in the water, we were treated to an 

amazing show as giant mantas glide and somersault in mesmerizing patterns. 

The mantas swam within inches of us, always managing to avoid contact at the

 last second. Getting this close to these ethereal mantas is truly an 

unforgettable experience. 

Much like a fingerprint is unique to each human, manta rays have 

distinguishing black and white markings on their underside that are used to 

identify them.   These gentle giants can grow up to 20 feet in length and 

weigh up to 3000 pound; their giant mouths are very intimidating, but these 

extraordinary sea creatures have no teeth and no tail stingers, making this 

the safest large animal encounter in the world.
