##Itinerary

• Manta Magic tours last for 50 minutes. We take a quick, 5-minute boat ride from the harbor to our manta ray site. We'll spend 30-40 minutes in the water before packing up and heading back to the harbor.

• Please arrive 30 minutes before your departure time for check-in at Keauhou Harbor, located at 78-7138 Kaleiopapa St., Kailua Kona, Hawaii 96740.

• Once we arrive at the manta ray site, your swim guide will tell you more about the manta ray snorkel experience. A light board is set up in the water for you to hang on to while snorkeling. The light board attracts plankton, which in turn attract the manta rays. And, then... the magical experience begins. The manta rays have learned that the light boards in the water mean food, and the Manta rays will swoop within inches of your face as you lay flat at the sea surface.

• You will enjoy the manta ray ballet in the water below you for up to 40 minutes as the Manta rays enjoy their plankton buffet.

After your Manta Magic experience, the Pueo Kai will head back to harbor under the light of the stars and the moon. Be sure to gaze upward, as you may glimpse the Milky Way on a clear night.

##About Manta Rays

• Despite being related to some fierce predatory fish and dangerous stingrays, manta rays are gentle giants with no teeth or barbs on their tails. Manta rays do not have a single bone in their body!

• Because manta rays are mostly cartilage and muscle, manta rays are very heavy, strong animals. manta rays grow quite large, ranging from 6 feet across and 600 pounds (~ 1.5 meters and ~ 272 kilos) all the way up to 16 feet and 1600 pounds (~ 5 meters and ~726 kilos).
