Sailing and Relaxation

The Best Time to Visit Manta Point

Manta rays can be spotted throughout the year in Komodo, but the peak season runs from October to December, including November as one of the best months. During this period, plankton-rich waters attract large aggregations of manta rays, offering thrilling snorkeling and diving encounters.

The wet season (November–April) brings warmer waters and slightly reduced visibility, but also higher chances of manta sightings. For many, November strikes the perfect balance – active marine life, fewer crowds, and ideal conditions for a private yacht charter.
