Swim with Majestic Manta Rays
Manta Point is one of the world's premier destinations for encountering majestic manta rays in their natural habitat. Located in the waters around Nusa Penida, this underwater cleaning station attracts these gentle giants year-round, making it one of the most reliable places on Earth to swim with manta rays.
The site serves as a cleaning station where manta rays visit to have parasites and dead skin removed by smaller fish. This natural behavior means mantas regularly return to the area, providing consistent opportunities for snorkelers and divers to observe these magnificent creatures up close. The rays can have wingspans of up to 7 meters and are completely harmless to humans.
Manta Point offers an unforgettable wildlife experience that ranks among the world's top marine encounters. Swimming alongside these graceful giants as they glide effortlessly through the water is a life-changing experience that attracts marine enthusiasts from around the globe.
