• Nadi - Are you prepared to embark on Fiji’s premier wildlife adventure?

The Manta Ray Experience invites you to plunge into the clear waters of the Yasawa Islands, where you can drift with the graceful manta rays that visit a specific channel from May to October each year. Observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is considered one of nature’s most incredible spectacles!

You’ll journey through the Mamanucas and Yasawas before arriving at Mantaray Island Resort. After a briefing and a refreshing tropical juice, you’ll board tender boats for a 75-minute guided manta ray adventure. From May to October, during carefully selected tides in collaboration with the experienced team at Mantaray Island Resort, there is a high likelihood of encountering manta rays feeding in the ‘manta channel’. You’ll have the opportunity to swim and snorkel among them as they gracefully navigate their favored feeding areas. Afterward, you’ll return to the resort for lunch and have time to enjoy the excellent snorkeling just off the beach, provided the tide is high enough. Our catamaran will pick you up again at 3pm for your return trip to Port Denarau.
