Swim with Manta Rays Snorkel Kayak Adventure (from Keauhou Bay)
Manta Ray Swim
There were four other people in a group, which was a nice small group. We kayak out after the sunsets and went into the water and basically hold on to what look like a paddle board with lights under it (to attract plankton) and string around it. The tour guild drag the board to get to different places where the ray was so we can be closer. When the ray was near our light, it was the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! It was so close that it almost touch you and it came by many times in the ~45min that we were in the water. The only thing was there were so many boats and divers out that night so the Manta Rays got attracted to other areas many times. Also the tour guild didn't (not sure if he just forgot) ask if I had experience using snorkel or kayaking, but I was just fine with the very basic skills I have. Being so close to the Manta Ray was simply AMAZING! Would go again if I go back to Hawaii!

Paradise Cove Luau
We got there late and didn't get to watch all the event in the beginning but what we did watch was interesting. You can get pictures painted on your arm or other areas of your choice. We all got a flower bracelet. It was fresh flower! The ocean view was breath-taking especially when the sun is setting. The food is good, just not sure that traditional is it. Performance was great also. All in all, a great experience!
