Description:

As the sun sinks down over the Kona coastline, head out for a nocturnal excursion aboard a glass-bottom boat to see manta rays in their natural habitat. Underwater lights illuminate the scene as these elegant creatures feed, wave, and swim in an elegant, oceanic ballet.

Step aboard the Spirit of Kona at the Kailua Pier and sip a Mai Tai on deck as the boat pulls away from shore. As the stars begin to twinkle over the island’s rugged, volcanic coastline, take a seat next to the large underwater viewing wells.

High intensity lights reveal the sandy ocean floor and delicate coral reefs as you gaze down into this tropical, nighttime ecosystem. The glass-bottom boat gives you up-close and personal access to giant Kona manta rays that used to be available only to fearless divers swimming in the dark.

Marvel at these gentle giants—one of the largest fish in the ocean, manta rays’ wingspans can reach up to 25 feet (7.6 m) in width. Admire their slow, butterfly-like waves as they glide and flip after clouds of plankton that are drawn by the light, and listen as an onboard naturalist provides insight and information about these graceful, mystical creatures of the deep.
