After four days I took the Yasawa Flyer (the cruise ship) to my second island with the Barefoot Manta Resort. This place here is just awesome. The whole complex is so nice with many palm trees and plants everywhere, nice bamboo style bures and the beach and the water – crystal blue – are just great. Going snorkeling here is just fun, you see plenty of colorful fishes and corals.
The food is amazing, the staff are really friendly and I met some nice other travellers, too.
There are always some fun activities on schedule like playing beach volleyball with the locals (they play really well) or a crab race (I actually won with my crab number nine, the prize was a cold Fiji Gold beer).
As I really liked Fiji I decided to change my flight back and extended my stay for another three nights. Luckily I hadn’t booked the flight online but via a travel agency in Sydney. I contacted the guy via email and he helped me quite quick to change my flight – of course additional costs occured.
I spent one more night in Barefoot Manta, another in Barefoot Kuata (to see another island) and the last one near the airport in Nadi.
When I went Snorkeling again on the last day on Manta I took an underwater action cam wich I had borrowed from the dive center. I even saw a little sting ray wich blue spots on his back. Unfortunately I couldn’t get close enough to take a good picture – I swam after him but he was really quick. After a little drop behind some corals he had just vanished.
