Guests can join in the search for the enigmatic, graceful, inquisitive, and charismatic manta rays in the waters of the Baa Atoll. If conditions are favorable, they will head to Hanifaru Bay, just a 20-minute speedboat ride from Soneva Fushi, which boasts one of the world’s largest populations of manta rays. When time and tide align, lucky snorkelers can witness a mesmerizing scene where hundreds of these large yet harmless creatures congregate to feast on plankton-rich waters. Several other locations near Soneva Fushi also frequently host manta sightings, so the exact itinerary may vary to maximize the chances of seeing these magnificent creatures. If mantas are not spotted during the trip, the Marine Biologist will lead an underwater discovery tour to showcase the stunning scenery and marine life in the Baa Atoll.
