Experience Manta Ray Night Dive and Snorkel in Big Island Hawaii
Explore coral reefs as the beautiful blue Hawaiian sky turns from blue to red, orange, and pink over Kona, Hawaii. Observe tropical colorful reef fish as they search for a place to rest during the most exciting Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Adventure in Hawaii. During this Manta Ray Night Diving and Snorkel Tour with Hawaii Travel Network, you will enjoy watching green sea turtles swim by to find their night’s sleeping place and observe moray eels glide in the sand as night slowly creeps in. This is one of the few Big Island Tours that offer the opportunity to watch manta rays gracefully swim to the reef cleaning station for the Hawaiian cleaner wrasse to remove any parasites they have attached to their gills or body. You will descend into the darkness of the South Pacific Ocean as the Manta Ray Night Diving and the Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Adventure guides take you to the feeding grounds of the manta ray. Earlier in the day, Manta Ray Night Diving guides placed bright underwater lights on the bottom of the ocean floor. For your viewing pleasure, the lights are turned on at night attracting larvae and plankton. Watch Hawaii’s underwater world come alive with a Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Tour through Hawaii Travel Network. You can get up close and witness the amazing sight of these majestic mammals glide in the darkness to feed on a smorgasbord of microscopic larvae and plankton. This is fine dining for the manta ray and you will be there to watch the action! During the Manta Ray Night Dive Hawaii, you may even have the opportunity to spot a 5-foot moray eel searching for food. The moray lives among tropical coral reefs and is a nocturnal fish. You will be thrilled if you have the chance to watch as the eel attacks unsuspecting prey, twisting its body in a knot as it swallows its evening meal. Also watch for Hawaiian sleeping fish, crabs, shrimp, and nudibranch during your underwater adventure with Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Manta Ray Night Diving.

Reserve today, Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkeling with Hawaii Travel Network that offers an underwater ballet presentation starring the mysterious and majestic manta ray. Watch as the manta ray gracefully swims towards the bright light that is attracting plankton to witness the amazing performance as these gentle ocean giants glide through the water doing somersaults creating mesmerizing patterns. Big Island Tours offer Manta Ray Night Diving experiences that give you the opportunity to swim inches away from a ray. Manta rays can be intimidating since they are one of the largest ocean creatures with a 25-foot wingspan. They swim with their large mouth gaping open which can also add a frightening feature to this large ocean mammal. In spite of its appearance and size, the manta ray has been found to be harmless, especially since it does not have a stinger like the stingray or eagle ray. When you find yourself so close to the ray that you can reach out and touch one, please do not. The Manta Ray Night Dive Hawaii guides will share with you the reason for this request. The manta ray has a protective film covering its body keeping its skin free of harmful bacteria. Touching the manta ray’s skin will destroy this protection and they will become vulnerable to damaging microorganisms.
