VALID FROM 01 SEPT 26
FULL DAY ADVENTURE
Manta Ray Experience
MANTA RAY EXPERIENCE Snorkel and glide alongside the majestic manta rays that frequent the ‘Manta Channel’ in the Yasawa Islands between May and October each year. How it works Our pre-booked coach will pick you up from select hotels/ resorts in Nadi, Denarau, Vuda, or Wailoaloa, and transfer you to Port Denarau, where you will board our high-speed catamaran bound for the Yasawa Islands. You’ll cruise through the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands for around 3 hours (each way), disembarking at Mantaray Island Resort. We work with the experienced team at Mantaray Island Resort to carefully choose dates according to environmental factors that offer a higher chance of manta ray sightings. Following a briefing, you will board tender boats and be taken out to have the chance to swim and snorkel amongst the manta ray while they glide throughout this popular feeding ground. Lunch at the ‘Manta Pizza Shack’ is provided at Mantaray Island Resort before heading back to Port Denarau. Ask our friendly crew onboard about upgrading to the Captain’s Lounge which includes beverages and snacks.
What if I don’t see the manta ray? The manta ray are wild creatures and as such are on their own schedule. If they are not in the channel on the day of your trip, you will experience one of Fiji’s most vibrant tropical reefs on a guided snorkelling trip making for an amazing experience in itself. You can also return within 3 days of your original Manta Ray Experience at a discounted rate of only FJD$85 per person and hope the mantas will be a little more hospitable!
