Mana Island sits in the heart of the Mamanucas with two great beaches, solid snorkelling, and accommodation for every budget. Here's everything you need to know before you go.
Ratu Kini Backpackers and Dive Resort sits on the south end of Mana Island in the Mamanuca Islands — a PADI dive resort with beachfront bungalows, dorm rooms, and nightly live music. It is the budget option on an island otherwise dominated by the large Mana Island Resort and Spa, and the experience you get depends significantly on how many other guests are there when you arrive.
Locally owned small-group day cruise from Port Denarau to Mana, Monu and Monuriki (Cast Away island) with snorkelling, lovo lunch and drinks included.

Full day: approximately 6 hours on island. Half day: approximately 3 hours. Mana Island Resort is cashless — card only for additional purchases.
