Experience the Magic of Manta Dives in Puako, Hawai‘i with AHA Ocean Tours
If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, a manta ray night dive with AHA Ocean Tours is an unforgettable experience. Our manta dives in Puako offer you the chance to witness these majestic creatures up close in their natural habitat. Known for their graceful, gliding movements and massive wingspans, manta rays are gentle giants of the sea.
Why Manta Dives Are a Must-Do in Hawai‘i
The Big Island of Hawai‘i is one of the few places in the world where you can dive with manta rays year-round. Our location off the coast of Puako offers crystal-clear waters and a thriving marine ecosystem, making it the perfect spot to encounter manta rays during their nighttime feeding ritual.
Manta rays are drawn to the plankton that gathers under the glow of dive lights, allowing divers and snorkelers to observe them up close. These nocturnal creatures, some with wingspans of up to 16 feet, glide through the water with an elegance that’s mesmerizing to watch.
