Hanifaru Bay
4.9

A UNESCO-protected marine sanctuary, Hanifaru Bay is one of the world’s most extraordinary snorkeling destinations. Known for its seasonal congregation of manta rays and whale sharks, this bay offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness these gentle giants up close. During peak season (May to November), hundreds of manta rays swirl gracefully in the plankton-rich waters, creating an awe-inspiring underwater ballet. Since diving is prohibited to preserve the ecosystem, snorkeling is the best way to experience the magic of Hanifaru Bay.
