In this week’s episode, the crew tells a story with “Manta Man” himself, Keller LaRose.
Gliding happily beneath the ocean floor, manta rays are Hawaii’s most fascinating and beautiful underwater inhabitants. And to coincide with World Manta Day on September 17, the crew of Hi Aloha Wheel Travel invited Keller Laros to chat about anything.
Best known for his YouTube video of asking a dolphin to help remove fishing line from a wound that has garnered more than 22 million views, Laros’ true love is watching, filming and getting to know the mantas that call the Hawaiian Islands home. Launched in 2002, the Manta Pacific Research Foundation, the charity’s primary mission is to study manta rays in their natural habitat, conduct scientific research, provide community education programs about manta rays and the marine environment, and establish and promote international manta ray conservation.
So learn all about mantas in this Have Aloha Will Travel podcast with the rest of the crew and hear interesting stories – how Laros accidentally filmed a brilliant manta mating session on one of his dives and how his first experience with a manta changed Laros’s life. (We interviewed Laros for a Q&A in 2019.) And if you want to get involved with manta conservation or educate yourself more about these beautiful creatures, join Laros and the Manta Pacific Research Foundation at Outrigger. Kona Resort & Spa on the island of Hawaii for a day of beach cleaning and manta conversation with specialists in the field.
