Under the guidance of your Local Specialist, learn the manta ray’s life cycle, the history of the rays in the area and how the center supports educational programs and funding scientists for research with a mission to support mantas in their natural environment. To top it all off, the lights from the resort shine into the water, attracting plankton which in turn attracts manta rays to the water right off the hotel.
Kona: Lose yourself in the moment as your embrace the lively tradition of the Hawaiian Luau and enjoy a dinner featuring local flavours and tropical cocktails. Under the hala tress and a canopy of stars, listen to heart-pumping drums, watch Polynesian dancing, listen to the sound of the conch shell and feast on delicious island food right on Keauhou Bay on the Kona coast.
Kona: Perched above the lava cliffs of Keauhou Bay on 22 acres of Kona coastline is the Outrigger Kona Resort.

Great variety of nature, history and fun experiences like a Luau, salt farm and Kona coffee plantation.
Loved the private waterfall excursion and the engaging tour guide. Hotels were very nice. While excursions were all good, they did take up most free time days.

I reached out several times to different places but kept getting sent to another place about our trip. The first day we were to go to Pearl Harbor and could not go because the governor of Hawaii had shut down various activities due to high winds. Our tour director told us to reach out to the main office of Trafalgar to get refunded for the day since we had missed out. Unfortunately he never gave us a # to reach out to, so I found myself being led around in circles. I ended up sending a text, but haven’t heard a peep. I went on this trip with a girl friend. Usually I travel with my husband and we do Onsight. The lack of some sort of communication on your part just is frustrating.
