What visitors say

    💦Unlike a single beach, it is a series of shallow bays nestled against dramatic limestone cliffs. It is most renowned for being a year-round feeding ground for reef manta rays, which are often seen gliding just beneath the water's surface. 📍Manta Bay offers a wild and memorable experience, though its popularity means it can become quite busy with tour boats. • Manta Ray Sightings: You have a high chance of seeing reef manta rays here throughout the year, as they are drawn to the plankton-rich waters.

    Seeing the Manta Rays at Manta Bay was a truly magical experience. It has become a core memory for me; whenever I close my eyes and think back to that moment, it brings me instant peace. However, the experience was bittersweet. While our operator, Aquaman, was professional and ethical, the overall state of the bay was heartbreaking. The water was filled with plastic, and many other boats were aggressively chasing the animals. Even worse, several operators were feeding the fish "random food" to lure them in, essentially turning a natural habitat into a crowded feeding station. I’m grateful for the encounter, but the lack of respect for these creatures by some companies is sad to see.

    It's an interesting experience to see manta rays in their natural habitat. After a while, it gets quite crowded with boats and tourists, but everyone will find a piece of the sea to themselves.

    Can’t believe you can literally swim around Mantra Rays. Clear water.
