Hoku Nui will coast to the World Famous Manta Ray Village. The Travel Channel says snorkeling with these Manta Rays, "It's one of the top ten things to do in your lifetime", and Sea Paradise has been offering their guests the opportunity to get up close and personal with these majestic manta rays since 1985, making Sea Paradise an original tour expert in Hawaii.

We suggest you bring: towel, cover-up, light jacket or sweater for after you're out of the water, and you may also bring an underwater camera just make sure the flash is turned off. Gratuity is not included in the price of the tour but tips are greatly appreciated.

*Snorkel equipment is provided on all of our tours. Personal gear is welcome aboard, please note, we NO longer allow the use of full-face snorkeling masks on our excursions due to safety concerns.

IN THE WATER

Once you reach the Manta Ray Village, our staff will provide a knowledgeable and professional briefing on the manta rays.
For our snorkeling guests, after dark our staff will prepare and guide you to our state of the art "manta floatation device". Here guests with experienced snorkel skill levels can hold onto our float that rests above the majestic manta rays as they feed on the microscopic plankton that rises from the bottom of the ocean at night and is attracted to the light source attached to our float.. Snorkel time is approximately 45 minutes.
For our ride along guests, you will watch the majestic manta rays as they feed on the microscopic plankton, from the comfort of our 50 foot catamaran in the World Famous Manta Ray Village.
