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.

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!

We had such a wonderful time at Taveuni Dive Resort! The resort was even more beautiful in person and the owners and staff were just so friendly and welcoming we felt instantly at home. The boys fell in love with the resort dogs Yoda and Gia who were always ready for cuddles. Our Bure was really lovely and comfortable in such a gorgeous garden setting. The food was incredible, fresh and delicious and they also happily catered to fussy teens with lots of choices. We did a guided snorkel trip on the boat almost every day and did a discovery scuba dive which was just incredible. A big step up from snorkelling but we felt in such safe hands with dive-master Hal and the reef was just so beautiful and fascinating it felt like you could dive every day and never see everything. We also had a great excursion to the civa pearl farm and really recommend that - Claude was so lovely. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to come back again. A huge thanks to Carl, Muriel, Hal, Kat, Eroni, Jerry, Tia, Louis, Tui and everyone who looked after us!

We enjoyed our 5-night stay there. It is about 40 minutes by car from the airport. Bure is very nice with comfortable bed. It is less than 5 minutes walk to the departure boat or to snorkel from the beach. It is a friendly, family atmosphere, a nice welcome and farewell song. Dive team is very good and we had wonderful dives including White Wall, Purple wall, Yellow Tunnel, etc. Food is OK, but a bit spicy. As it is only 8 bures and they were not fully booked, we had a small number of divers/snorkelers per boat. On some days, it was 3 boats with just 2 or 4 divers on each. Rainbow reef is worth visiting and it is much closer from this resort than from all other resorts closer to the airport.
