The first day of our superb Manta & Humpback Explorer tour was awesome. Humpbacks greeted us as soon as we came through the passage and we watched some in the distance until we came across a huge manta ray to snorkel with.
He was about 4m from wingtip to wingtip and just gorgeous. Solid white belly and solid black back - classic manta ray. He was feeding in crystal clear water so we'd snorkel with him for a few meters then simply lay on the surface watching him until he got to the end of his run. Then he'd bank around right onto the same path, open his mouth W-I-D-E and swim right past us again. AWESOME.
After we were tuckered out from lazing on the surface with our manta ray, we hopped back on the boat for some snacks and to cruise with some more humpback whales. A group of three adopted us and hung out for over an hour. Just resting on the surface or swimming slowly for a short distance or diving down, waving their tails before surfacing just in front of us with a big loud blow again. Magical day on the water.
