Hanifaru Bay Manta Experience

Discover the magic of Hanifaru Bay, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Baa Atoll, known for hosting one of the world’s largest gatherings of manta rays and offering a truly unforgettable marine wildlife experience.

Drift quietly on the surface as these gentle giants glide, feed and swirl beneath you in an unforgettable natural spectacle, as plankton rich waters attract manta rays in remarkable numbers during the season from May to November, with peak manta activity usually between July to October.

Perfect for all skill levels, this snorkeling experience offers a peaceful yet breathtaking encounter with manta rays and from time to time even whale sharks, in one of the Maldives’ most vibrant marine environments.
