Manta Ray Experience
Overview
Cruise from Port Denarau through the Mamanuca & Yasawa Islands to Mantaray Island Resort around 3 hours each way. We drop off/pick up guests from resorts along the way before disembarking at Mantaray Island Resort.
Following a short briefing, you’ll head out on tender boats to snorkel alongside the majestic manta rays. For those less confident in the water, buoyancy aids are available to ensure you feel comfortable & safe.
We partner with the experienced team at Mantaray Island Resort to select dates based on weather & environmental factors, increasing the chances of manta ray sightings in the manta channel. However, as wild creatures, their presence isn’t guaranteed. If they aren’t spotted, you'll still enjoy a guided snorkel through one of Fiji’s most vibrant reefs.
Your adventure also includes lunch at the resort’s “Manta Pizza Shack” along with a soft drink or bottled water. Additional drinks can be purchased, and vegetarian options are available—just let us know when booking.
