In 1991 dive operators began leading dives to this location, known as Manta Village, to see these amazing creatures. So, the lights brought the plankton, which brought the manta rays. Plankton is the microscopic larvae stage of various fish, shrimp, crab, and lobsters-and is what manta rays feed on. The Kona Surf Hotel, which is now the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort, lit up their pool and the ocean with floodlights, not realizing the lights attract plankton.

Manta rays do not have stingers like the Sting Rays, mantas are completely safe to be around. Using lights that are safe for the manta, we are able to attract these plankton which attracts the mantas. Although you can view manta rays during daylight hours, they feed most actively at night when many plankton rise towards the surface providing one of the favorite foods on which mantas feed. Our snorkel adventure is at night for the best viewing of the manta rays. Experiencing the beauty of the manta ray up close and personal is an experience you will always cherish.
