Maldives
Best of Mantas
Into the Kingdom of the Mantas
Experience something truly unique aboard the Seafari Explorer 2, accompanied by one of our destination directors, as you witness the largest manta ray gathering in the world. Each late summer, the northern atolls of the Maldives, especially Baa Atoll and the famous Hanifaru Bay (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) host dozens of mantas feeding and mating in the plankton-rich waters.
Our expert guides share their knowledge about the behavior and conservation of these graceful giants while leading you through vibrant coral reefs, encounters with reef sharks, and the rich tropical marine life of the Indian Ocean. The ideal monsoon conditions also attract whale sharks, offering divers spectacular and unforgettable underwater moments.
A magical liveaboard adventure in the heart of the manta realm, where emotion, discovery, and wonder come together beneath the surface of the Maldives.
