# Swimming with Manta Rays/Mantaray Island Resort Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
happylilpossum 12:09 UTC 29 Aug 2007 | Hello! I posted a little while ago and since then I've saved a bit more money and have a greater idea of what I would like to do. My question is about (obviously!) swimming with the manta rays. I have been on the Mantaray Island Resort website, and it says that this is seasonal. I am going to Fiji mid to late November, is it possible to partake in this activity then? Also, the website puts 'drinking games' and 'themed nights' into its activities. While this is my sort of thing at home I hope to stay as far away from it as possible on holiday! I was hoping for a quiet, relaxing holiday with my partner (this is going some where i swear) so, I was wondering whether it is possible to arrange (presumming it is the season) swimming with manta rays from any other surrounding islands? |
