class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maui&#39;s Molokini Crater The Molokini crater in Maui is a hotspot for snorkeling with daily cruises. Go early morning to have a chance encounter with manta rays.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-mantas-in-maui\"><\/span>Are there mantas in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Since the early 2018 winter season, Maui&#39;s Manta Rays have been making consistent visits to the South Shore reef areas. Paddle boarders, snorkelers, and Outrigger Canoe Crews have enjoyed watching the Manta Rays skim the surface feeding on Plankton, Hydroids and other micro-organisms floating in the sea.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-time-of-year-are-manta-rays-in-maui\"><\/span>What time of year are manta rays in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Manta rays love warm weather and calm waters. As a result, you often will see manta rays most abundantly in the summer months. In January through March, or Hawaii&#39;s winter, there tend to be fewer manta ray sightings around the islands.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-in-hawaii-can-you-snorkel-with-manta-rays\"><\/span>Where in Hawaii can you snorkel with manta rays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Most Popular Private Scuba Diving Spot The most popular scuba diving spot for manta rays in Hawaii is Manta Point. Manta point is located in Kauna&#39;oa Bay, which is on the north side of the Kona coast. It has a very high success rate, with tourists seeing between four and six manta rays per dive.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-snorkeling-with-manta-rays-worth-it\"><\/span>Is snorkeling with manta rays worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So, is the Manta Ray Kona Night Snorkel Worth It? Absolutely! If you are staying near Kailua-Kona it is an amazing experience to get up close to Manta Rays in their natural habitat. With so many amazing Kona snorkeling tours to choose from, this tour was certainly high on my list for unique experiences.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-manta-ray-night-snorkeling-safe\"><\/span>Is manta ray night snorkeling safe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Manta rays are not dangerous. In fact, they are harmless creatures. Night snorkeling is an ideal way to swim with manta rays as they feed off phytoplankton. The phytoplankton is attracted to the light from your group&#39;s shared swimming flotation device.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-swimming-with-manta-rays-scary\"><\/span>Is swimming with manta rays scary?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Manta rays are calm and friendly creatures. They peacefully glide through the water. The manta rays are one of the largest creatures in the ocean, so if you plan to swim with them, be prepared for their sheer size which can be intimidating at first.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-sharks-afraid-of-manta-rays\"><\/span>Are sharks afraid of manta rays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The giants are defenseless against sharks manta rays rely solely on their speed.

They DON&#39;T HAVE a poisonous tail stinger that many of their relatives have. Manta rays CANNOT hurt you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-manta-rays-harm-people\"><\/span>Can manta rays harm people?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Manta rays have long tails like stingrays. Only they don&#39;t have barbs. That means that manta rays can&#39;t sting you or anybody for that matter.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"has-a-manta-ray-ever-killed-anyone\"><\/span>Has a manta ray ever killed anyone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Manta Rays are not dangerous. They are even harmless and can&#39;t hurt any diver or swimmer. They are usually very curious and swim around the divers. They can sometimes even jump out of the water to get rid off their parasites!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-you-touch-manta-rays\"><\/span>Should you touch manta rays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>TOUCHING CAN HARM THE MANTA RAYS In fact, the mucous coating protects them. That mucus repels bacteria from soaking into the manta ray&#39;s skin. When a human touches a manta ray, the oils on their hands can counteract the mucus, making this barrier for their immune system less protective.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-manta-rays-swim-close-to-shore\"><\/span>Do manta rays swim close to shore?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>They do come to the coast areas for the coral reefs and to find cleaning stations from time to time. They are migrational and will travel long distances if they need to in order to find food. They have been seen leaping out of the water from time to time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-is-the-best-place-to-swim-with-manta-rays\"><\/span>Where is the best place to swim with manta rays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Best Manta Ray Diving in the World<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-a-stingray-and-a-manta-ray\"><\/span>What is the difference between a stingray and a manta ray?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Manta rays are related to stingrays. Both have flattened body shapes and wide pectoral fins that are fused to the head. One of the biggest differences between manta rays and stingrays is that manta rays do NOT have a tail &#34;stinger&#34; or barb like stingrays.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-do-mantas-jump-out-of-the-water\"><\/span>Why do mantas jump out of the water?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mating ritual Scientists think, just as with many other animal species, that doing so is an attempt to impress each other. Although both the males and females jump, males leap more commonly, theoretically attempting to court the females.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-eats-a-manta-ray\"><\/span>What eats a manta ray?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do manta rays have any predators? Due to their large size and speed, they have very few natural predators, these include large sharks and killer whales.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-manta-rays-make-noise\"><\/span>Do manta rays make noise?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Occasionally we will observe a manta ray jumping out of the water and then falling down on the surface, making a loud noise. This is called \u201cbreaching\u201d \u2013 and a breaching manta ray is a mighty sight. It sometimes even seems like they&#39;re flying.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-animal-eats-stingrays\"><\/span>What animal eats stingrays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What Eats Stingrays? Let&#39;s look at where stingrays fall within the complex hierarchy of the ocean food chain: Animals known to feed on stingrays include sharks, elephant seals and killer whales. The best defense the stingray has is its flat body, which makes it perfect for hiding in the sand on the ocean floor.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-stingrays-friendly\"><\/span>Are stingrays friendly?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Stingrays are not aggressive. They are curious and playful animals when there are divers and snorkellers around, and if they feel threatened their first instinct is to swim away. But as with all marine life, people must respect stingrays&#39; personal space.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-lifespan-of-a-manta-ray\"><\/span>What is the lifespan of a manta ray?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Lifespan &#038; Reproduction Gestation is thought to last around a year. Although manta rays have been reported to live at least 40 years, not much is known about their growth and development.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-a-group-of-stingrays-called\"><\/span>What is a group of stingrays called?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Did you know a group of stingrays is called a fever?Jun 15, 2016<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-stingrays-aggressive\"><\/span>Are stingrays aggressive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Stingrays are not aggressive, but if you follow one too closely, you run the risk of catching the business end of the stingray&#39;s sharp, painful stinger. Anyone stung by a stingray should visit the nearest medical facility as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-it-called-a-shiver-of-sharks\"><\/span>Why is it called a shiver of sharks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A Shiver of Sharks One of our favourite collective nouns on the list is the name for a group of sharks \u2013 a &#39;shiver&#39;. We think it could be suggestive of what happens to a person who stumbles across a group of sharks while out swimming. Or it could relate to the fact that most sharks are cold-blooded.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-stingrays-called-a-fever\"><\/span>Why are stingrays called a fever?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some of the largest rays such as manta rays and cow nose rays never stop swimming and migrate in their thousands to feeding grounds each year. These large groups can reach up to 10,000 individuals and are known as a \u201cfever\u201c.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maui&#39;s Molokini Crater The Molokini crater in Maui is a hotspot for snorkeling with daily cruises.
