Itinerary

1

Your adventure begins as we cruise toward the manta ray site. Take in views while watching for marine life. Dolphins are sometimes spotted, and humpback whales may also be seen during whale season (Nov - Mar). Once arrived, guests wil swim to our large floating light raft, where you'll hold on throughout the tour. The raft's underwater lights attract plankton, the manta rays' natural food source. As they feed, reef mantas glide, swoop, and barrel roll beneath you, sometimes coming within inches of the raft for an unforgettable encounter. At Iruka, we do not free dive with mantas. Instead, guests enjoy the experience while holding onto the raft. Our crew provides help and ensures your comfort. If you choose to return to the boat during the snorkel, you will stay on board for the rest of the excursion. After your time in the water, warm up with hot cocoa, tea, and a light snack as we cruise back beneath the stars! - BYOB after swimming (no glass bottles) - If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication an hour before departure. - If manta rays are not seen during your tour, you're invited to join us again another night FREE OF CHARGE - Private manta ray charters available.
