Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa
Giraavaru has mantas more than covered with its Manta-on-Call service, Manta
Ray Scientist for a Day experience, and close
proximity to some of the most renowned manta hotspots in the world, as well as
a dedicated team of researchers working tirelessly to protect and preserve
them.
Spanning from June to November 2018,
the countdown to manta season in the Maldives has officially begun. Landaa
Giraavarus team of onsite Manta Trust experts, based at its Maldivian Manta
Ray Project (MMPR) have combined over a decade of local experience, analysis of
monsoon currents and more to predict the following mass aggregation dates at
the known manta sights close to the Resort:
For a complete manta
immersion, Four Seasons Resort Landaa Giraavaru also offers the minimum 4-night Manta Watch package from June to November: a
chance to discover the intense natural beauty of the Baa Atolls UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
Value-added
Manta Watch inclusions extend to
Manta Watch is seasonal and manta ray
sightings are subject to weather conditions and the temperament of these gentle
oceanic giants.
Landaas Manta-on-Call service sees
guests given a "manta phone" that rings wherever they are at the
Resort when mantas are sighted nearby. An exhilarating speedboat
transfer ensues for a thrilling snorkelling experience.
"Our Manta-on-Call service is one of
our most popular guest experiences," comments Tam Sawers, Project Leader.
"With so much manta history and conservation intrinsically linked to the Resort, its a real highlight and honour to offer the opportunity to swim, snorkel and learn more about these special underwater residents."
Another favourite is Manta Ray
Scientist for a Day: an adventure-meets-research immersion into the world of
manta conservation, cruising the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere, free diving,
taking ID photos, recording environmental data and more.
Guests can also book private manta
cruises and may even be lucky enough to swim with a manta in the Resorts
lagoon, where they are also occasionally spotted.
Combining innovation, wellness and
conservation, Landaa Giraavaru is a 44 acre, 103 villa wonderland in the Baa
Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve a 30-minute seaplane flight from Malé.
Its sister property, Kuda Huraa, lies to
the south: an enchanting garden island complete with Island Spa sea
sanctuary and Tropicsurf coaches and guides and waves that host the
annual Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy. The luxury
catamaran, Four Seasons Explorer, connects the two resorts via 3, 4
and 7-night cruises, plus private leisure, surf and manta ray charters.
