want secret house reef with excellent snorkeling

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji

Where are the best house reefs with awesome snorkeling in Fiji?

We prefer Matamanoa Island Resort in the Mamanuca's, good snorkeling from shore right around the island.
Have never felt unsafe with currents and if it blows hard you can just snorkel on the other side of the island.
They also take trips to Bird Rock and the neighboring island which all have good snorkelling.
Plenty of blacktip and whitetip reef sharks and have also seen a leopard shark on the home reef.
Have even snorkeled all the way back from Bird Rock escorted by the boat.

secret?

I've just spent time at Octopus Resort in the Yasawas. Their reef has improved markedly in the last few years, lots of colour in the coral, with literally hundreds of fish.
