Best Time To Seen Manta Rays
The manta ray season in Nusa Penida lasts all year, so you may visit the island at any time. The Indonesian Through Current benefits the seas surrounding Bali and the Nusa Islands. Technically, this is a massive body of water (stream) that runs from Timor to Bali throughout the Indonesian archipelago.
This current transports water from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean. This is the world’s greatest circulation of water, thus the strait between Bali and Lombok is always filled with fresh, rich currents. Understanding this phenomena explains why Bali’s snorkelling locations are teeming with marine life and why manta rays are constantly visible.
