Taveuni Dive Resort

This was our first time in Fiji and couldn’t have been happier starting it off at here at Taveuni Dive Resort. The property is immaculate and beautiful and the resort and dive staff were just outstanding! The bures were spacious and comfortable and we never felt overheated with the powerful ceiling fans despite not having AC. The food was amazing and varied every day that we were so sad to leave and have to eat elsewhere. The diving was sublime and we were lucky to be there for the monthly white wall dive. Thank you to the owners Carl and Muriel for operating such a beautiful little slice of heaven. We already miss the cuddles from Yoda and Gia, the friendly property dogs.

This is a first class dive resort. Very nice bungalows, excellent restaurant, spotless pool, nice dive boats, nitrox available, top-notch divemasters and boat crew. We typically dove with 3-4 person groups, two groups on a boat, and had many 60+ minute dives. It was wonderful to see healthy and vibrant reefs. We saw many small fish, whitetip sharks, and some big mantas, but very few morays or turtles. The dive crew knew likely spots for mantas, and we were lucky enough to see them on multiple dives. The resort staff was absolutely wonderful, kind and thoughtful in every way. The restaurant deserves special mention -- two choices for each meal, or order from a simple menu if that doesn't work for you. They went above and beyond to accommodate difficult diet restrictions (celiac or vegetarian). While the resort is relaxed, the dive boats leave on time; if all the divers were on the boat, we often left a few minutes early. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I rented a BCD and regulator - they worked perfectly. The resort is off-grid, but their excellent power system means it won't ever inconvenience you (ask for a tour and learn how it works).

In February I was blessed to return to Taveuni Dive Resort (TDR) after a great time in May 2022. Carl and Muriel still have a top-notch resort, and take a personal interest in every part of the operation. They should be very pleased. My bure was just so comfortable, and even in Feb, the lack of A/C was never an issue; the evening breezes did the job beautifully. And it was kept spotlessly for my whole stay. Housekeeping do a great job each day. I was there to dive, and under the superb personal management of Hal, the dive team are a fantastic group. Captain Jerry knows the surrounding waters better than anyone, and the crew, including my old friend Lui, plus Joe, George, Dee and Eroni ensured every dive was a great experience. Gear was always clean and ready to go, and you could tell the focus was on both ensuring memorable dives and safety. But it's the hospitality that always shines thru, and ALL the staff are worth their weight in gold! Tia, Katerina, Emelia (does she ever have a day off??), KiKi, (and everyone I have missed) proved yet again that Fijians are the happiest, most hospitable people on earth. For the second time, I didn't get to taste the pizza that the Salty Fox is so well known for; I guess I will just have to return for a third visit, so I can try it! I can't wait!

This sustainable "off-grid" resort provides a peaceful and secluded environment, complete with personalized services such as exceptional massages, incredible diving experiences at Rainbow Reef, and exquisite dining options featuring gourmet cuisine. The staff is incredibly warm and hospitable, fostering a family-like atmosphere. Every detail was thoughtfully considered by the owners, making this vacation dive trip the best I've ever experienced. The property was breathtaking, such beautiful natural surroundings. I will definitely return!
