![]() We got lots of informative and interesting information via email on the lead up to our swim which was great. Manta Ray Advocates really care about the Mantas and conduct the swim in a very safe way and always have the Mantas wellbeing at the forefront of their minds. It’s beautiful to see them from above too. The lights on the rocks attract the plankton which the Mantas come and feast on. If you want to watch the mantas from above water before your swim, get the Mauna Kea hotel about 30 mins before your time slot and follow the path to where there is a viewing area from above. The first night there were 3 and the second night 2. We loved that we could walk into the ocean and swim just a short distance to where you see the mantas. Audrey and Brooke were so professional, kind, knowledgable and caring. It moved me so much I went again on my own a few days later. I went with my husband and 13 year old twins and we all had an amazing time. I had watched a lot of videos on this experience but nothing prepares you for the grace and beauty that these majestic creatures have. I cannot truly describe how wonderful this experience is! It is magical, awe inspiring and breathtaking. Thank you Martina for all you do for the Mantas! I can't wait to go back and book another snorkel trip with the Manta Ray Advocates, I can't recommend them enough. I got there a bit early and was also able to wander around the beach and resort which was gorgeous. I also appreciated the multiple equipment check/safety checks (you do not get that on the boat tours), and once in the water none of us had any issues. The girl that helped check us in, and gave us the tutorial was super nice and welcoming (if I was not visiting I would have asked her out since she was just that awesome!). Everything about the experience was great. It was also so much nicer to do the very quick swim and not have to hold on to a light board. I believe there were 4 the night we went. She is super knowledgeable, and able to identify the manta's that came out. ![]() So glad I got to finally go out with Martina this past trip. In my research on manta ray conservation I came across Martina and the Manta Ray Advocates night swim since then I have been a huge fan. Ever since the first time I went to the big island and did my first manta snorkel experience, I have loved going and seeing these amazing rays.
