Manta rays are the mysterious gentle giants of the ocean. The name manta rays derive from the Spanish word manta, meaning cloak or blanket.
From above, the rays are great black silhouettes, scything streamlined shapes that fishermen called “devil fish” because of the curious horn-like fins hanging down near their mouths. But side on and up close you can look into their eyes and get a sense of their peaceful nature. Unlike stingrays, mantas don’t have venomous spines in their tails, and unlike many fish species they seem to enjoy human company.
Maldives is a famous manta ray’s destination. They have about 67000 mantas in their water all year
around. You can see them move gracefully and gently through their turquoise lagoons. Also you canfeed these creatures while they come upon on the beaches which would be a truly magical moment for most visitors to experience.
