Manta Ray: Encounter Ocean Giants in Komodo National Park

Unveiling the Magic of Manta Rays

Manta rays, also known as manta alfredi, are the world’s largest rays. Their wingspan can reach up to an impressive 7 meters (23 feet), making them a truly awe-inspiring sight underwater. These gentle giants glide effortlessly through the ocean, their bodies resembling giant black diamonds. Manta rays are filter feeders, using their wide mouths to scoop up plankton and small fish from the water column. They play a vital role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems.
