    If you’re ever in KONA on the BIG ISLAND of HAWAII, I highly recommend the MANTA RAY NIGHT SNORKEL. It was seriously one of my most unforgettable travel experiences!!
    At night, the manta rays feed on the plankton in the area so it’s the perfect time to see them in their natural habitat. We tried our best to remain still and to not touch them as they swam past us, but they literally swam inches away from our faces! We spent an hour face to face with these majestic gentle giants as they gracefully danced in the ocean.
    This footage is taken from our Big Island trip from several years ago. Please enjoy over 7 mesmerizing minutes of the manta ray nocturnal ballet!

    The Travel Channel says, “It’s one of the top ten things to do in your lifetime.” Would you swim with manta rays?

    • @LivingfortheCity
      @LivingfortheCity 3 года назад

      Yes. Yes. Yes!!! This is definitely one of the coolest things I have seen...all those fishes swimming around. I think that part of me would be scared, but man on man you talk about a lifetime experience! Are manta rays the same as sting rays? They have that stinger on the back...

    I don't know if I'd be brave enough to do this especially at night because I have a crazy fear of sharks. But it looked like an amazing experience! And great memories to look back on!!

      I’m a pretty strong swimmer and I love the ocean, but I’ll admit...I was a bit hesitant jumping in the water at night time!

    So much life down there at night! Those manta rays were certainly not shy, they came pretty close so many times!😅 We cannot wait to get diving and snorkelling again when we can😊 beautiful!

      Oh yes, the manta rays swam really close to us. We had a difficult time trying to get out of their way!
