That's what we have on our mind this year, well one of the things on our mind anyway!
We're launching our new Manta Ray Research expeditions where we will be working alongside Ningaloo researcher Frazer McGregor to get out and spend more time searching for and understanding how manta rays use the area surrounding Coral Bay and the Ningaloo reef.
We have our first scheduled departure on the 30th March and we will be heading out for 5 days and 5 nights to try and encounter as many of these graceful giants as possible. One of the key activities that will be undertaken will be to get in the water, swim alongside these amazing creatures and also use digital photography to try and identify the Mantas that are visiting the various areas of the reef.We'll spend each morning searching for manta rays and look forward to seeing them being cleaned, feeding and you never know if we might see some frisky mating chain action. Depending on weather conditions and the number of Manta Rays, afternoons could be spent exploring any number of Sail Ningaloo's remote and exclusive snorkel and dive sites.
We've picked the end of March and the beginning of April to get out there and start these unique trips in Western Australia as it is quite often when there is a lot of action going on and plenty of Manta Rays kicking about! It will be a lot of fun and a great way to learn more about these majestic creatures. Spaces are limited to 8 guests on board so don't miss out!
