Reef manta rays cruise the outer bay margins, performing barrel rolls through plankton-rich columns of water while cleaner wrasses service them at established cleaning stations. Their wingspans regularly exceed 4 meters and their acrobatic feeding behavior makes them a mesmerizing complement to the whale shark encounters.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
