Snorkeling & Diving with Manta Rays

Komodo’s seas are world-renowned. Nowhere is this clearer than in encounters with manta rays. In sites like Manta Point, currents bring plankton, and mantas arrive in circles. Slipping into the water, you see them glide beneath — enormous, elegant, wingspans of up to five meters. They circle effortlessly, looping in slow arcs, sometimes swimming close enough to meet your gaze. Their movement is hypnotic, ancient, otherworldly. Around them, corals blaze with color, reef sharks patrol edges, schools of jackfish flash silver. Biodiversity here is immense, sustained by strong currents and protected waters. For divers and snorkelers alike, mantas are highlight and humbling — creatures that remind you of the ocean’s grace and immensity.
