SeaWorld San Diego – “Manta”

Manta at SeaWorld San Diego combines the thrill of a launch coaster with an amazing marine-life exhibit.

This unforgettable ride takes you swooping, diving and soaring – on a coaster train shaped like a giant manta ray through Manta’s 100,000-gallon underwater animal habitat featuring bat rays and hundreds of other fish.

Manta is also more than just a coaster, it has a below-water viewing area includes eight acrylic windows and a reef design and its above-water interaction area allows you opportunities to touch and feed the rays.

SeaWorld San Diego operates at different times throughout the year. To help you plan your vacation or for more information visit the website

Goddess Tip:  Stay a few nights to see all SeaWorld has to offer!

Our choice includes:

The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina, located next to SeaWorld, just completed a $65 million transformation. This property now offers amenities such as 430 newly appointed guestrooms and suites, a new pool deck with three pools and multiple waterslides, a new high energy lounge, a new waterfront restaurant and Hyatt’s first eco-friendly spa.

The Hilton San Diego Resort, located right on San Diego’s famous Mission Bay, is a four-diamond beach resort just down the road from SeaWorld San Diego. This newly renovated resort offers a full service spa, large heated outdoor pool, world class restaurants with magnificent views of Mission Bay and friendly and courteous service only Hilton can provide.

It's a Southern California luxury resort, just as you pictured it – blue skies, towering palm trees and a landscape exploding with color. And it's all here at the lush 44-acre vacation isle of Paradise Point Resort & Spa on San Diego's Mission Bay
