Manta Ray Viewing
Picture a large, shadow-like creature gliding like an acrobat through crystal clear ocean waters. Hauntingly beautiful and graceful, what is it you have seen? You have seen a manta ray, the largest of the ray species, reaching wing spans of more than twenty feet and weighing as much as 3,000 pounds. Guests are able to observe mantas most evenings from the lanai (balcony) of certain guest rooms or from a special viewing area near Manta Ray Bar & Grill.
A complimentary presentation about the manta rays is organized for resort guests and the general public by Fair Wind Big Island Ocean Guides and by Sea Paradise. The free "Manta Ray Talk" is held adjacent to Manta Ray Bar & Grill each Monday thru Saturday evening just after sunset.
