Manta Discovery + Snorkel Combo

Begin with an early manta search, then continue to two reef sites to explore the coral and fish. From 07:00 to around 10:30, this USD 89 trip gives confident snorkellers a full morning on the water. The price is per person.

Mantas first, then the coral

The boat runs first to wherever the crews last saw mantas. If they are there you watch from the surface with a guide in the water beside you. Then two reef sites, and time over the coral and the fish that live on it.

Mantas are seen through the year here and on most manta trips. They are still wild, and the price does not change if none appear.

This is the most popular trip Nala runs, with more time in the water than the Manta Encounter. Three and a half hours with several entries in open water suits people who are comfortable in the sea for a whole morning. Tell us how everyone swims, children included, and we will help you decide whether it suits your experience.
