Manta Ray Dive or Snorkel Tour
- Dive: $195 per person
- Snorkel: $145 per person
The Travel Channel calls the manta ray snorkel and dive “One of the Top-Ten things to do in your lifetime.” Experiencing the beauty of the manta ray up close and personal is an experience you will always cherish. The snorkel and dive adventure is at night for the best viewing of the manta rays. Although you can view manta rays during daylight hours, they feed most actively at night when many planktons rise towards the surface, providing one of the favorite foods on which mantas feed. Using dive lights that are safe for the manta, we can attract these planktons that attract the mantas.
Manta Rays do not have stingers like the Stingrays; mantas are entirely safe to be around.
Price includes professional snorkel gear and tanks for divers. However, the cost of a taxi service is not included. We will send participants in groups to save cost, $10 per person for taxi service.
