Hanifaru Bay, Baa Atoll · Every July to October
Hanifaru Bay manta season
Up to two hundred manta rays feeding in a bay the size of a football pitch, on the right tide, in season.
On now until October 15
What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Male or Dharavandhoo Island for July 1 to October 15, 2026, round trips of 5 to 12 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- No diving in the bay and no touching; rangers will pull a boat's permit for either.
- Stay in Baa for at least four nights; some days the mantas simply are not there.
- A 20 minute flight from Male to Dharavandhoo then a short speedboat; resorts and guesthouses in Baa all run the trip.
