Exhibits, video and live discussions satisfy your curiosity about these creatures
Every evening, mammoth “ballerinas” dip, glide and twirl in the waters fronting the OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa.
Despite their size (they can weigh up to 3,000 pounds with a wingspan of 20 feet), manta rays are incredibly graceful. Make your Kona experience an unforgettable one by seeing these majestic creatures up close. Because of its prime seaside locale, OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa is a great place to see mantas because its lights attract plankton, mantas’ primary food source.
Visitors can watch these incredible creatures at the Manta Viewing Deck or learn about the magnificent mantas at the Manta Learning Center every Wednesday at 6:15 pm. Feeling adventurous? Join in on their daily nighttime manta ray adventure, where you can enjoy the warm waters of Keauhou Bay and snorkel, kayak or sail along these graceful giants.
