Swim with Manta Rays
Nusa Penida, Bali

A boat trip along Bali’s coastline to Nusa Penida, taking in dramatic cliffs and sea mounts on the way. At Manta Point, you get in the water with your instructor/guide to swim with Manta Rays. Afterward, a snorkel among the corals of Crystal Bay, with a coconut on the beach. For more experienced freedivers, there’s also a cave swim-through, a passage that opens into a chamber filled with bats, lit by a beam of light from above.

As with any wild encounter, mantas can’t be guaranteed, this is nature, not a zoo.
