Moana Lagoon Tour - Ray feeding

On Wed, we went on the Moana Lagoon Tour where you sail around Cooks and Opunohu Bay. We stopped at one designated area where you could snorkel and watch small sharks being fed from a short distance. At a second lagoon stop, we were allowed to play with the Rays while the tour guide was luring them near with fish. Here, Viks is playing with a Ray. The Rays have a smooth, slimy, gel-like feel on their backs but the tails are prickly. You definitely don't want to be caught by their tails. However, they are pretty tame and with so many weekly tours, I assume the Rays in these parts are very accustomed to humans by now. Such beautiful creatures.
