In nearshore reef locations, manta rays congregate around \u201ccleaning stations\u201d, where Hawaiian cleaner wrasse eat parasites of the skin of a manta ray. Manta rays are also thought to breed in the shallow coral reef habitat.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-best-time-to-see-the-manta-rays-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What is the best time to see the manta rays in Hawaii?<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-are-manta-rays-from-shore-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Where are manta rays from shore in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>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=\"can-you-see-manta-rays-from-shore\"><\/span>Can you see manta rays from shore?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The marine plankton are attracted by the lights, so the hotel and local dive companies provide plenty of it. As a result, thousands of human visitors have also been flocking to this part of Hawai&#39;i each year to see Manta Rays in their natural habitat \u2013 both from the shoreline and from below the surface.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-snorkel-with-manta-rays-without-a-tour\"><\/span>Can you snorkel with manta rays without a tour?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Short answer: You most likely can re-book your tour. Longer answer: It is impossible for manta ray tour operators to guarantee manta rays sightings every night of the year and it is possible that you&#39;ll be unlucky and join a manta ray night dive\/snorkel without seeing a single manta ray.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-does-it-cost-to-dive-with-manta-rays-in-hawaii\"><\/span>How much does it cost to dive with manta rays in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Manta Ray Night Snorkel &#8211; Swim with Manta Rays in Hawaii Check-in time: Night Manta Ray Snorkel Tour changes depending on time of sunset so be sure to confirm when booking your tour. $179.00 per person, plus tax. Includes all snorkel gear, snacks, juice, bottled water &#038; soda.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-manta-rays-sting-you\"><\/span>Can manta rays sting you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Instead, their barbs are a defense mechanism used when threatened by predators. 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=\"what-happens-if-you-touch-a-manta-ray\"><\/span>What happens if you touch a manta ray?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>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. Additionally, trying to hold on to a manta ray might actually remove this slimy mucus. This can make the manta ray susceptible to infections and bacteria.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-safe-to-swim-with-manta-ray\"><\/span>Is it safe to swim with manta ray?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>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. In this blog, you&#39;ll see that manta rays are completely harmless to humans.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-stingray-and-manta-ray\"><\/span>What is the difference between stingray and 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=\"do-sharks-avoid-manta-rays\"><\/span>Do sharks avoid manta rays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Threats and Solutions.

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-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=\"do-sharks-like-manta-rays\"><\/span>Do sharks like manta rays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The immense size of these docile plankton eaters &#8211; found globally in tropical, subtropical and, in the case of the giant oceanic manta ray, temperate waters &#8211; wards off most predators, but large sharks and orcas can and do hunt them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-baby-manta-rays-called\"><\/span>What are baby manta rays called?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Unlike most of their scaled and torpedo-shaped cousins who lay eggs, mantas only give birth to live babies, called pups, once every few years for up to 40 years. Pups take several years to grow into mature manta rays.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-manta-rays-smarter-than-dolphins\"><\/span>Are manta rays smarter than dolphins?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Just when we thought that dolphins and orcas were the most intelligent species in the ocean, we&#39;ve got manta rays. These aquatic giants have larger brains than any other fish species, with extensive sections for learning, problem-solving, and communication.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-devil-rays-and-manta-rays-the-same\"><\/span>Are devil rays and manta rays the same?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For example, as recently as 2017 genetic studies revealed that manta rays are more closely related to devil rays than previously thought, and that they all belong to the same genus &#39;Mobula&#39; (whereas before they separated as Manta and Mobula).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-can-i-see-the-devil-rays\"><\/span>Where can I see the devil rays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>They can be seen in numerous areas around the peninsula at different times during these periods \u2013 including Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, La Paz, Loreto, La Ventana, Cabo Pulmo, and more. Their scientific name is Mobula Munkiana \u2013 which is where their common name Munk&#39;s Devil Ray comes from.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-a-manta-ray-a-shark\"><\/span>Is a manta ray a shark?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, a manta ray is not a shark.
