Swimming with manta rays in Australia
About this list
If you want to go swimming with manta rays in Australia, the useful question is not whether the manta rays are there but who will take you to them that way. Maptlantis lists only the 7 operators in Australia that name the manta ray as a target species and actually run swimming. All 7 operators on this list publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare them directly. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, Mar–Oct and Apr–Sep among them. There is no single season for manta ray trips in Australia, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. Operators with structured encounter data list manta ray, humpback whale, whale shark, dolphin and sea turtle as target species. Ways to meet them: swimming, snorkeling and boat-based watching. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
