Swimming with the manta rays is one of the greatest experiences to be had on the Big Island.
Float above and watch as the graceful mantas swim up from below for the plankton rich water near the surface.
We are located in Keauhou Bay, adjacent to one of the best known manta areas in the Hawaiian islands commonly known as "Manta Ray Village".
Being close to the manta grounds means less time traveling and more time in the water with the mantas.
We will provide you with everything you need to view the manta rays. The following is a list of what we provide and what you might consider bringing.

Manta Guarantee Policy
Please appreciate that it is our foremost priority for you to view Manta Rays.
These gentle giants of the sea are wild animals and on rare occasions they do not feel like participating or performing.
On the rare occasion that no Manta Rays are sighted during your scheduled event, we invite you to rejoin us during your stay
on Big Island, at no additional cost. Any second opportunity is based on availability and is non-transferable. No refunds will be given.
