Good to know

In a channel where the current carries plankton, manta rays come to feed — wingspans over 4 metres, gliding right beneath you. You snorkel from the boat once the guide spots them. Nothing prepares you for how large and calm they are.

Mantas follow the plankton, not a schedule — we go to the best spot of the day, but a sighting is not guaranteed. Life jackets are available; tell the guide if you are a nervous swimmer.
