This third one swam up into really shallow water and the sunlight gleaming off his back was mesmerizing. A little further down the reef we checked out the cleaning station and the mantas must have sent word out that we wanted them as every minute a new one would arrive and we ended with six mantas circling the station, cruising around us and just generally showing off how beautiful and graceful they are!
We even had the smallest manta of the season so far - he was only about 1m wingspan! Too cute.
The humpback whales were serenading us loudly the whole time we were snorkeling. Sometimes we could even feel it in our chests - it seemed like they were so close!
Once we were back on the boat watching the humpback whales we found a mother with her very young calf who was almost white. The calf was having a great time fin slapping, tail slapping and breaching over and over and over. It was incredible!
This is such a great tour - not only for the amazing wildlife, but the scenery of the Cape in the late afternoon sun is picture postcard perfect, too!
