Hanifaru Special Mantas

A Dive Adventure with Manta Rays as the Stars

This itinerary is designed for manta ray enthusiasts and offers one of the most complete diving experiences in the Maldives. Over seven nights, we will explore channels, thilas, and reefs teeming with marine life, covering the stunning reefs of Baa, Ari, North Malé, and Rashdoo.

Don’t miss the chance to dive with grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, nurse sharks, guitar sharks, tiger sharks, bull sharks, lemon sharks, hammerheads, spinners, and the majestic whale shark. You’ll also witness manta rays by day and night at cleaning stations and, of course, experience the unforgettable visit to Hanifaru Bay.

At the perfect current conditions and lunar phase, this UNESCO-protected bay transforms into a true marine sanctuary, where hundreds of mantas can gather to feed often accompanied by whale sharks. A one-of-a-kind phenomenon in the country with the largest manta population on the planet.
