Entertainment & Activities
THE best nature adventure ! I know, I know..it's SCARY being in the ocean at night. NO bad haps yet. The manta rays come to feed on PLANKTON...and we, humans shine lights to attract the mantas. They come right UP TO YOU and you float holding on to a sup board ( like a huge surf board) and the mantas swim right UNDER you, until you are belly to belly. IT IS AMAZING..you can just sit on the boat and watch everyone if you wish. Great boat trip. Cocoa and all that. Guaranteed sighting >>NO mantas that night (rare), come again next night for FREE!
