Manta Safari

$30.00$700.00

Mantas are beautiful on any day – but to find one feeding at the surface, diving under a school of halfbeaks and into a frenzied shoal of ‘opelu? Such luck to see. These beauties don’t often come close to us, and when they do is a good day indeed!

 

Hāhālua – Manta Rays

Manta Rays are very special to us at ‘Alohi Kai. Diving on the south shore of Oahu, we spotted a beautiful juvenile manta ray coming straight at us. Read our blog for the story on how we came to have a young manta ray off Oahu named ‘Alohi Kai!

Despite their enormous size, Mantas don’t eat big fish, but rather filter feed on plankton. Reef mantas, as we have in Hawaii, can attain 18 ft (distinct from the giant pacific mantas that get much bigger). Our mantas tend to stay close to shore, which partly helps protect them from large predators like sharks. Manta Rays have the largest brains of any fish, and they reproduce slowly – sadly populations continue to decline, much due to pollution and erosion of habitat. Some estimates say they can live 50-100 years. More information. Status: Vulnerable.
