Fiji Resort Recommendations?

[Laurie S.]

We're going on a cruise next August that starts in Long Beach and ends in Sydney. Rather than head right back, we want to spend a few days diving at one place. After checking airfare and flights, it seems that Fiji is the best place for us to do that. I sure would appreciate some recommendations for a nice resort with beach bungalows and good diving.

I highly recommend Nakia Resort on Taveuni. Check the reviews on Tripadvisor. We have been there twice and the reviews are very accurate. You will not find a better Eco resort or dive operation anywhere!

It depends on whether you want to take a puddle jumper or not.
Wananavu on Viti Levu is nice. Garden Island Resort on Taveuni is awesome.
Club Oceanus in Beqa is satisfactory and onsite with the dive op who does the shark dives.

My wife and I are on our way to Fiji to manage Naigani Island Dive Resort. We would love to have the chance to be among the highlights of your vacation

A second vote for Wananavu. A long bus ride, but they have beachfront bures, excellent food, and the best diving on Viti Levu. Better than Beqa. They dive the Bligh waters, weather permitting.

I'm doing the deposit with Wananavu today. We're getting married there, too, in a beach wedding.

I was at Wananavu Dec.2012, you will have an amazing time!! Hopefully Chris and Vicki still run the dive shop, they did a fantastic job when I was there!
Here are a few recommendations:
- Ask for Esa to be your dive master, he is the most relaxed, easy going dm, a pure joy to dive with! Ask him about Esa's Crack & tell him the Canadians say HI!!
-Ask to go to the following dive sites: Heartbreak Ridge, Black Magic Mountain (some current but well worth the effort when you see the "fish highway"), Mellow Yellow (stay on top of the pinnacle for your safety stop and watch all the different clown fish in the anemones!), and Potluck.
-Have the pizza for supper!!
-Ask for a beach front bure!

Have a fantastic wedding & holiday!!

Thanks! We did upgrade to the beachfront bure. We are SO looking forward to this!
