This was our last day at the East side of the island. Early in the morning we took time to dip in the Kapoho tide pools again before we left to Kona.
'Our launching spot
They couldn't wait to get in and explore God's beautiful underwater world.
Stopping by to have lunch at Pahoa Fresh Fish
The fish were fresh catch of the day.
The boys were knocked out during the 2 hours drive to the West side, which is good because we want them to be well rested before swimming with Manta that night.
On the boat to the Manta's spot. We chose this company because they allow children under seven. I got seasick on the boat even after I ate Dramamine.
Basically they have this raft that we are holding on equipped with blue light that attract plankton, which is what the Manta eat.
The Mantas were so close. I was tempted to tickle its belly.
More mantas joined the party
