Finding Giant Manta Ray in Australia

Giant Manta Rays still occur in Australia, though specific park pins are still being curated. Use the Giant Manta Ray field guide for ID and biology, and the Australia expedition page for broader wildlife destinations.

Australia context: Koalas in the gum trees, kangaroos across the red centre, and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth.

When you are out looking, prioritise coral reefs, open ocean, and upwellings in Australia. That is where local sightings of this species are most often reported.
