Manta Ray Resort Fiji

After our crazy night dive the previous night we woke up and packed for our next adventure to the next island on our Fiji Island hopping tour! we were off to Manta Ray resort where we heard that you get a chance to swim with Manta Rays daily! we decided to stay here for one night and then set sail to our final island the the rumored party island! We got back onto the big boat and sailed to Manta ray, while tanning on the boat and eating pringles, what better life! We decided to continue our diving vacation theme and as soon as we stepped aboard Manta Ray we booked a two dive trip a cave dive and a wall dive! We had a couple hours to kill beach side before we were off on our dives so we laid out soaking up the sun! Me and Steph had head aches so were trying to feel better as we heard the Manta Ray sighting horn, said we would catch the next one to try and feel better for the dive, the other Steph went out and saw 7 Manta rays, turns out that was the only sighting to be had on our short trip there, I was sooo disappointed!!! At least we made friends with an orange tabby island kitty and read and tanned lived the life! I can hands down say that Manta Ray had the best food options! Because we actually HAD options it wasn't a set meal, we got to choose our entrée! It was quite the treat and there was hot water to shower! We were so excited, ahh the simple things in life haha. The dives were soo cool, saw a black and white fish I had never seen before more Fungia, a remora and a sea snake! The caves were so neat! There was a really strong currant on the wall dive and we almost kept hitting the coral ledge. Took a coconut break on our way back and got ready for our party island adventure the following day, it was really sad that Fiji was almost coming to an end and this amazing 6 month adventure was almost over.
