REMARKS

The Manta Ray is the largest of all rays, growing to over seven metres across and weighing over three tonnes.

Like a whale shark, manta rays feed on small fish and plankton. The large cephalic flaps on either side of the head are used to direct planktonic food into the mouth.

These flaps can be rolled up and tucked back when not in use. Manta Rays have no barbs on their tails.

We receive an updated weather report directly from our crew living at Agincourt Reef at 7.30am each morning. Please call for further information, such as cloud cover, as often weather conditions will be different at the reef to the mainland.

Fish Feeding
Fish feeding at the reef is conducted by our crew twice each day. It is restricted to 1kg of fresh fish or approved pellets (to ensure that we do not affect their normal eating behaviour), and is only conducted by our trained snorkelling safety supervisors. Please refrain from feeding the fish your food scraps, as this could upset their diets.

See the reef from a different perspective

A 10 minute scenic flight will show you the opal blue reefs from a new perspective. Make sure you pre book through your tour desk.

Looking forward to spending the day with you
