Manta Pacific lead the way in creating a set of standards for manta tour operators to follow. These standards are currently voluntary, but many practitioners have adapted them into their operations as they promote the safety and wellbeing of mantas and tourists. Learn more here!
Manta Pacific Research Foundation also developed a list of guidelines for manta tour participants to follow. These guidelines are also voluntary, but most operators do enforce them during tours. Learn more here!
