SWIM WITH GIANT MANTA RAYS

The giant Manta ray season typically begins every year in May and continues right through to October.

Manta rays are fascinating and captivating creatures. Giants of their kind, they range throughout the tropical and sub-tropical oceans of the world. Born into a life of perpetual motion, they must keep swimming to survive.

Driven forward by powerful beats of their wing-like pectoral fins they search the ocean currents for concentrated patches of the tiny planktonic food upon which they feed. Despite their status as an ocean giant, manta rays feed on some of the smallest organisms in the sea! They are planktivores, feeding primarily on zooplankton; tiny animals such as copepods, mysid shrimps and arrow worms.

Mantas are known to make seasonal migrations to take advantage of particularly abundant areas of food. Hence the channel just 10 minutes away from Paradise by boat is the perfect feeding ground.

ACTIVITIES FOR THE SOUL

A few times a week the energetic amongst us head away on guided hikes. We have several hikes to choose from, one of the most adventurous is a hike to the top of one of Waya islands highest peaks. All walks have new and varied terrain with plenty of camera opportunities along the way.

Several nights a week we take guests out for a sunset hand-line fish. The waters around our little slice of Paradise are full of marine life, so regardless if you are a complete beginner or a seasoned pro there’s bound to be a story or two on offer at the bar afterwards, and fish caught, gets to be your lunch the next day.

Regardless of your ability or experience, there’s a fishy story just waiting to be told. Fiji offers some of the best sport fishing in the world. On any one of our fishing charters, you could catch Yellow Fin Tuna, Walu, Giant Trevelly, or anyone of many species that inhabit the local waters. We offer half and full-day fishing excursions on our boat. You’ll be skippered by one of our local staff who has been fishing these waters for all their lives. You bring a camera, and we’ll bring a cool box of snacks and drinks.

FIJI TIME

We’ve tried hard to offer our guests just the right balance of deep relaxation, exercise opportunities, cultural interaction, and fun.

Paradise is not the place for forced fun, but for those that want it, there’s plenty of variety for all ages. There are no noisy jet ski’s or para-sail boats, and you’ll not be organized to exhaustion. You’ll have all the time you need to kick back and get into the local rhythm.

Perhaps a mid-morning nap curled up with a good book from our library in one of the many hammocks or sun loungers appeals? Maybe a massage at the Spa is more to your liking? Massages and our Spa treatments are an ideal way to unwind, de-stress and rejuvenate.

CULTURAL CONNECTION

Staff Meke (performance) - Island hopping adventures Local Rugby games - Craft demonstrations Fijian cooking lessons - Kava ceremony Friday nights are often a favourite for our guests. Our staffs’ way of thanking us for the help we provide, and the humanitarian projects for the village, is to hold a traditional Fijian Meke (cultural show) for our guests. The meke is a fun-filled 30 minutes of song, dance, and celebration wrapped up in the authentic flavours of Fiji and the Pacific.

We run several different tours during the week that have you visiting nearby islands. Guests board our island based boat, and depart for a day exploring the villages on Waya Island, or Naviti Island and swim with the Manta Ray’s when in season. All the trips offer an excellent chance to view island life through the resident's eyes and create opportunities for guests to mix with the locals and experience genuine Fijian hospitality.

During the winter months, there are reasonably frequent games of rugby played at nearby villages. Rugby is an extremely popular sport in Fiji, and a trip to Yalobi village is a great social occasion, as villagers from all over the Yasawa islands come to support their local teams. We pack a cooler or two of life’s essentials (Fiji beer and chocolate bars) and all head away together in our resort boats to support the local village team.

Seven nights a week, new guests arriving at the resort are welcomed with a traditional Fijian Kava ceremony. Kava is the national drink of Fiji and is made from the root of the pepper tree. Guests join our string band on a woven mat and are welcomed in Fijian, given a chance to taste Kava and treated to one or two Fijian harmonies.

It's A KID'S WORLD

The kids are centre stage in Fiji, Fijians are renowned around the world for their love of children, and whether you want a babysitter or someone to weave the kids a hat or pick them a coconut – Our staff are only too happy to oblige.

Take the kids to the village for a cultural experience they won’t forget in a hurry. With a playground like the Pacific Ocean and our white sandy beach – Playstations, computers and television are soon a distant memory!

You and your children will be blown away by the relaxed atmosphere, you won’t believe how cluttered our lives have become, and you can almost see the stresses of modern living slipping off their shoulders. It’s a sight worth seeing their relaxed exhaustion and the return of the spontaneity that you thought they left behind in preschool.

We have a kid’s dinner menu, and we can cook an early dinner for your children if you’d like us to. You can pre-book a baby crib or leave the children for a few hours to be cared for by some of the wonderful ladies we have on staff. Anything else you need, please ask.

For whatever reason you choose to come to Paradise Cove, we are sure you will leave with a small taste of how simple living and a relaxed outlook on life can still be achieved.

Paradise Cove is the perfect environment to nurture this; you will not be disappointed.
