Snorkel with Giant Mantarays and Paradise Cove

Odoo - Sample 1 for three images

The giant Manta ray season typically begins every year in May and continues right through to October.

During this time we have regular trips scheduled to go and snorkel with these amazing sea creatures. June thru October we visit the Manta's on a Tuesday and Thursday each week, departing the resort at 9am and returning at 2pm. We also stop at Paradise Cove Resort for Lunch and you will have some time to snorkel their house reef.

Manta rays are fascinating and captivating creatures. Giants of their kind, they range throughout the tropical and sub-tropical oceans of the world. Born into a life of perpetual motion, they must keep swimming to survive. Driven forward by powerful beats of their wing-like pectoral fins they search the ocean currents for concentrated patches of the tiny planktonic food upon which they feed. Despite their status as an ocean giant, manta rays feed on some of the smallest organisms in the sea! They are planktivores, feeding especially on zooplankton; tiny animals such as copepods, mysid shrimps and arrow worms. Mantas are known to make seasonal migrations in order to take advantage of particularly abundant areas of food.

The cost is $279 per person with a minimum of 8 people required to make the trip viable. Lunch at Paradise Cove is included in the price, (you can chose from main dining room or Donu for lunch). You will need to bring cash or a credit card to pay for any drinks directly to the resort before departure.
