Manta Ray Night Snorkeling, Kona Hawaii
Of all the amazing things to do on the Big Island of Hawaii perhaps one of the most unique, is the chance to snorkel or dive at night with Giant Oceanic Manta Rays.
I will admit that it was a bit scary to jump into the ocean at night, especially knowing that there were large animals swimming around in it. There were lots of other groups in the same spot as we were, and as we approached I could hear the sounds of people screaming. Whether it was from fear or excitement I wasn't sure. Despite whatever anxiety I felt, before I knew it I was jumping off the boat into a rough dark ocean...

What do you think? Would you jump into the ocean at night with a bunch of car sized mantas?
-
Totally relaxing is totally the way to snorkel. Time slows way down, and the animals come to you
-
Manta Rays are special. I put them in the same class with dolphins, whales, sea lions, etc... They are beautiful and should be protected.
-
This is the best video explaining what hi and what the mantas do! Mahalo
-
Manta Rays are such graceful creatures! This was beautiful to watch, and so cool that they came so close. Your animations were awesome too! I would have to gather up a lot of courage to get in the ocean, especially at night, but I am sure it is an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

Cool video and love the animations. I was rewatching my video i posted just reminiscing from doing the scuba dive version of this and was curious about what the snorkel was like and came here. If you want more peacefulness, definitely do the dive instead. Everyone has to be certified and thus are calm in the water, plus dive masters will put down lights around sunset to start getting more plankton earlier on. Truly breathtaking and definitely one of the best experiences ive ever done. One of the few things where what you see really is what you get.

I’m borderline unsure if I ever would, but this was too cool of an experience to at least witness on video🙌🏼I laughed harder than I should have at the manta ray getting kicked when trying to eat, that was a great😂
-
Omg I did this yesterday and it was truly the best experience of my life. We saw around 9/10 manta rays and a few of them touched us and they came so close
-
This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing moment with us!
-
Thank you for sharing this experience. Like...seriously, I had no idea.
-
mantas are so underrated i never saw a manta until i played tetris effect connected this video is beautiful already i wish i can snorkel with mantas
-
I’m on Oahu and want to do this so bad! Wish we had it here
-
Great video, especially appreciated the added visuals you created in the beginning. Will be swimming with rays this weekend, so pumped!
-
Wow, that was amazing!!! Looks like they come really close to you. Great capture!
-
We went with "Manta Ray Advocates Hawaii" and the experience was nothing short of amazing! I liked it because there was no boat involved. We just swam in from the shore for about 2 swimming pool lengths and the tour people had lights. The Manta Rays swam so close to us and I loved the way they trusted us. I would do it again if I was in Hawaii. This experience does not disappoint!
-
Nice! I am looking forward to the experience in the future! If you were using a GoPro, did you have any special settings you used? Your footage came out great!
-
I will totally do this! We are planning a H.S. graduation trip with our oldest grandson this summer. Just trying to decide which tour/location to book for this adventure.
-
holy shit that is fucking cool. ultimate bucket list item for sure. great vid dude
