Monitor Manta Rays In Fiji

Targeted by fisheries for their plankton-filtering gill plates, which are used in traditional Asian medicine, reef manta rays are now globally threatened, and these gentle ocean giants need our help. Kokomo Private Island’s luxury villas and residences overlook Fiji’s pristine sands and the Great Astrolabe Reef, where guests can join responsibly-led manta snorkel and dive expeditions, following the guidelines of conservation organisation, the Manta Trust. Visitors can also help marine biologists from the Manta Project Fiji to photograph and identify the rays, learn about manta tagging and adopt a manta, continuing their support for the species long after they’ve returned home.
