This experience was the most memorable of the events we scheduled while visiting the Big Island. It was magical being in the water watching the graceful Manta Rays glide through the water and do somersaults to feed on the plankton around the lights. They even go so close they brushed against you. There were five or six individual Manta Rays the evening we chose to go. The staff is excellent providing a background on the Manta's and answering any questions you might have. Wonderful experience. I would do it again.
