Welcome to a magical experience with Manta Rays. Our unique and signature snorkeling experiences allow guests to not only observe, but have close encounters with these graceful creatures.

Join our conservation team on an unforgettable snorkeling experience in the azure waters of the Seychelles. We’ve combined a leisurely snorkeling experience with an exciting encounter, all in the name of science. During the excursion the Mantas that are spotted are recorded. Each Manta Ray’s black markings is unique, and by submitting these images to the international Manta Trust it helps with the identifying of individuals and tracking their movements, thereby contributing to our ‘Citizen Science’ project. Should you be the first to spot and photograph a new Manta Ray, you will get to name it!

Mantas are identified by their broad heads and triangular pectoral fins which can reach sizes of 5 m in width and horn-shaped fins on either side of their mouths. Found in tropical and subtropical waters of the world, Manta Rays are a common sight in the remote waters of the Seychelles. All of our destinations boast regular sightings of Manta Rays.

Blue Safari gives our guests the opportunity to dive and snorkel with these majestic creatures while contributing to scientific research.
