The resort is running the symposium as part of the manta ray “season” which runs from May to November.
Activities will include The Nautilus’ marine biologist giving talks on manta rays and taking guests on private trips to nearby Hanifaru Bay where the rays congregate in large numbers every year.
Hanifaru Bay is part of a Unesco Biosphere in the Baa Atoll and is only a 15-minute yacht trip from The Nautilus. The bay is known as one of the world’s top “feeding hotspots” for manta rays.
