I desperately want to see Mantas!
I've read the posts, watched the videos and have been assured by my husband that "Yap" isn't in the cards right now. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, he can play golf on the Big Island, a strong selling point!
I know there's no guarantee, but is there an time to go that would optimize my chances for Manta encounters? I missed the whale sharks in Utila by a mere week because of poor planning on my part.
We only have a week, and plan to spend it on the Big Island. We're on the East Cost, New York area, and I wondered if anyone can offer advice on which route to take.
Looks like you can fly directly into Kona from the west coast or maybe even Texas.
Thinking about maybe taking a condo for the week, once I get there I suspect I need a rental car, but is the diving (mantas) on the same portion of the island where he will find the golf courses?
Just started researching, you folks have got me convinced that Kona is a "must do".
Any advice on traveling or situating myself on the island would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Susan
