Looking to avoid the crowds, or to treat your friends or family to something special? Charter the boat with captain and crew and take command of your own manta ray snorkel.

Our 28-foot zodiac is Coast Guard rated for 24 passengers, but we limit it to 18 so everyone has room to enjoy the ride. A smaller group simply has more space.

Everyone in your group still needs to meet the swimming requirements of the shared snorkel.

Before you book

More answers on the Manta FAQ's page.

Do I have to know how to swim?

Yes. You should be able to swim 50 yards without additional flotation and consider yourself an intermediate snorkeler. A life vest is not a replacement for swimming skills; non-swimmers can't join.

Need to practise first? Join a daytime snorkel to dial in your skills.

Who can't join the snorkel?

Children under 5, pregnant guests, anyone with recurring back, neck or shoulder problems, and anyone whose injuries limit their mobility. You lie face-down with your arms out for 30 to 40 minutes and need to climb a ladder unassisted.

It isn't recommended for heart conditions, high blood pressure, severe asthma or right after a long-haul flight. Everyone needs to understand the safety briefing in English. Full-face masks aren't permitted.
