If you’re seeking an incredible experience at a more relaxed pace, you can swim with the giant Manta Rays. Between May and October, these graceful creatures visit the waters off Manta Ray Island. Mantas are among the largest fish in the ocean, with some reaching up to 6.5 metres. Fiji is also home to five species of turtles, the most well-known being the Hawksbill Turtle, which is now a protected species. Many resorts now run conservation programs to care for these precious residents. The moderate water temperature allows for year-round diving, and the visibility is a photographer's dream.
