... the skipper. Oh well, I did see a few rays swimming. That was worth it, but the weather was too choppy. Also, just behind Mana Island, is the Island that Tom Hanks filmed the movie Cast Away. You can go and see it for a tidy 45. No thanks. I saw the ...

Manyana Mana
... !! Its not a really big Island. You can walk around it in about 3 hrs. Most of the island is made up of Mana Island resort. Its a proper holiday resort with an airstrip, attended mainly by the Japanese (who the Fijians on the island don't care for too ...
Vinaka Fiji !!!!!!!!!!
... , but Fiji boat transfers are incredibly expensive for backpackers, and so after a few days we just said that we would stay at Mana Island - despite a day trip that was exactly what we did! Our days consisted of getting up early for breakfast in the bar ...

... making, I decided I never wanted to see another coconut for the rest of my life, so I decided to head for the cheapest Fiji Island I could fine, where apparently the weather was so much better. So for the grannd old price of 15 quid a day (all food ...
Fruit Salad Asses
... this is the right one. Google Map couldn't pick up Bounty Island, the last one, either so just bear in mind I am on an island somewhere in Fiji. The place we are staying in is a bit of a kip. The walls are cracking, stay in the toilets too long and ...

Chilling out in paradise

Island hopping in the Mananucas
... jagged rocks. Unfortunately the tide came in pretty far and it got quite difficult getting back around later (especially with our cameras!). Mana island is one of the few small islands that actually has an airport: it consists of a gravel path, no lights ...

!! BULA !!
... at my hostel, while nice, wasn't the white sand and blue water I was expecting. After an hour long ferry out to Mana Island I felt sweet redemption. It was a large island with nothing but palm trees, white sand, crystal water, hot weather, cold beer, ...
Diving with Sharks
... sharks. Travellers Tips It cost us 99 FJD for 1 tank with our hostel's dive shop, think this is pretty standard for Fiji. Don't bother renting their underwater camera, it doesn't have a special underwater setting so pics taken at depth were crap in ...

Mana Island - Fiji
... a very undesirable town and after having a good night in the hotel there with Cava bowls and a few Bounty Rums, we headed for the island of Mana. This is one of the bigger islands and is also very beautiful. That is when its not a tropical storm al la the ...
Mana: Was that sunshine?!?
... not allowed to go into, but they can come into the place that we staying at. It really ruins that atmosphere and spirit of the island. There seems to be a good group that I have met up with, many Germans. I went to Sunset Beach in hope of finding the ...

Paradise Again!

Island Relaxing
I'm sat here on a painfully slow dial up connection hoping the power doesn't cut out again. This place is not renound for its technology. Theres not alot to do here which suits me down to the ground. I got so sunburnt on the first day that I hav'nt been ...
Claims to Fame
... early hours with the stragglers and the American security blokes looking after some reallity TV set on the other side of the island. It starts in February. Bringing flights foward is nigh on impossible. $10 phone cards are not enough time for Qatas ...
Reality Check
... . The rich side is a Japanese owned % star resort that seems to me to resent the fact they have to share the Island. And obviously the poor side and the villages resent their money and desire for exclusiveness. Because of this we weren't that interested ...
Bula Ratu Kinis!
... the big muscular Fijians at their own game, in fiji every beach has a volleyball court, and every Fijian plays. After 4 nights on Mana Island, it was time to recieve our leaving song and depart back to the main land with the scotsman in tow, well I ...
Like Mana from Heaven
Not quite the pearly gates, but the pristine beaches, scorching sun, endless palm trees and all-singing, all-dancing, all-knowing Fijian inhabitants of Mana Island bring it pretty close. St. Peter might even consider a relocation of ...
Totally tropical
... meals can be dodgy to say the least. As we had little time and money to explore thoroughly we opted for Mana island, a nearby island in the Mamanuci island group. The island is really beautiful but is split between budget backpackers and luxury resort. ...
