    Yeeeeeehaaaaaa! 2nd Year Back & Still Going Strong!

    Posted by Manta Ray Bay Resort on March 6, 2024
    The crew has been having so much fun at the resort with groups of divers and snorkelers, even a few of our repeat guests have made their way home to Yap in the past couple of months. The mantas have also been excited having their friends back to swim with them. We have had some great manta sightings, from just a couple to more than ten mantas at a time. As we're trying to better ourselves and our resort services, the island seems to be following suit as well, from great internet service to providing ESPN services.

    Phew! What A Year… Our 2023 Recap!

    Posted by Manta Ray Bay Resort on December 27, 2023
    In the past year, we have experienced a roller coaster ride, from finally opening in January with two flights a month to getting our first divers from Switzerland to our first snorkelers from the US. We celebrated when the island received a weekly Tuesday flight, which helped with travel movement and resulted in a second weekly flight commencing in April. There are no words to describe how wonderful it is to be able to welcome people back to the island and to have the ability to provide jobs to the community.

    BlackwaterFest 2023: Diving into the Magical Abyss

    Posted by Manta Ray Bay Resort on October 14, 2023
    Mantas by day and blackwater by night. As the sun sets over the bay, we embarked on nightly explorations of the seemingly bottomless Yap Trench, a chasm that plumbs over 9,000 meters. Here, we encountered exotic denizens of the deep, creatures seldom glimpsed, in their untouched habitat. This experience transformed our perception of the ocean, unveiling its enigmatic depths.

    Bill’s Update #19 – “It Feels Good Like I Knew It Would”

    Posted by Manta Ray Bay Resort on April 13, 2023
    Last month, I had the privilege of being the dive guide for a wonderful group of divers from the State of Utah. Mac Garrabrants, the owner of The Dive Shop, is a repeat guest and that always makes us feel very special as we know there are a lot of wonderful places in the world for divers to visit. When guests come back multiple times, we know we are doing it right.

    Bill’s Update #18: “We’re Baaaaack!”

    Posted by Manta Ray Bay Resort on February 9, 2023
    I would be lying if I were to say to you that it’s been an easy three years. I feel like the captain of a ship that has transited a typhoon for 3 years, but I am safely in port now. I can’t properly express my feelings for how good it is to finally have guests back in the resort, guests on dive boats, and most importantly staff back at work.
