Mantas - Hanifaru
Dive with Manta Rays in Baa Atoll and Beyond
MANTAS HANIFARU is a 7-night Maldives liveaboard itinerary designed around one of the Indian Ocean’s most extraordinary natural events: the seasonal gathering of manta rays in Hanifaru Bay, in Baa Atoll. This unforgettable cruise combines the legendary manta encounters of Baa with the vibrant reefs, cleaning stations and pelagic action of North Malé, Rasdhoo and North Ari. Along the way, divers explore a rich variety of thilas, channels and reef slopes, with opportunities to encounter manta rays, reef sharks, eagle rays, large schools of fish and, at times, whale sharks. Blending iconic dive sites, exceptional marine life and the magic of the northern atolls, MANTAS HANIFARU offers a concentrated and truly memorable Maldives diving experience.
