Taveuni Dive Resort

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.

Small and really well run. Rooms are beautiful, diving is amazing, staff are excellent. I will be returning. Easy for solo travelers and small groups. I wouldn’t think it would be somewhere to take kids. Focus is on diving they do this very very well. Food was great!

We had the best time here! we stayed for a week in November over Thanksgiving. We were treated like family. The dive resort is clean and well kept. Each burre is well appointed and all face the ocean. Having a private patio to sit on at night was great. Loved the spacious indoor shower and comfy bed. The dive attendants were all experienced in the dive sites and wonderful to spend the dive days with. The resort can also get you set up with other island activities if you would like to spend some time on land. Highly recommend doing a waterfall hike and if you are there during the holidays the hike to the crater lake to see the flowers is a must!! (it's a rough hike not for the faint of heart but totally worth it). Can't wait to return!

Outstanding. Literally. Great diving, great people, great food, great accommodation .... exceeded all my expectations in every way. Its how Fiji used to be. If low key, relaxed, elegant simplicity is what you want ..... this place ism simply wonderful. Vinaka ...Neil (and Emi)

Taveuni Dive Resort The staff were all very welcoming and accommodating. There seems to be a family feel among the staff which makes staying at the resort feel very comfortable. The food is excellent and they make an effort to accommodate special diets. The dive staff are phenomenal. We had Louie and we couldn’t have asked for a better dive master. They took care of all our needs, switching tanks over etc. The grounds are gorgeous. I loved the afternoon activities such as basket weaving and corn husking as you go to have a cultural experience without leaving the resort as you may be tuckered out from diving. If you are a snorkeler there is excellent snorkeling across the road in the area that the dive boats leave from. The resort is eco-minded and off the grid so there is no A/C but the fans and room cross breeze makes it it comfortable. I have no hesitation recommending this dive resort and would come back in a heartbeat. The only people who may not be happy are those who need internet in their room or if you want to party late into the night. There are enough photos of the resort on their website so I will share underwater videos.

My husband is an avid diver and I am not. We stayed in the very roomy and comfortable Cabbage Patch bure or bungalow for two weeks in October 2023. The resort is a "blue" resort and relies heavily on solar power, with Wi-Fi available and dependable in the dining area-which I needed, as I worked remotely during our stay. Per my husband, the diving was amazing (he is remarking on it on the Scuba Board) and I went snorkeling out on the boat and it was truly exceptional and well worth my time. The team here are the real jewels of the resort. Sure, there are gorgeous gardens, amazing ocean views, comfortable rooms and delicious and plentiful food...but the team is what makes this place truly special. The owners, Carl and Muriel could not be more organized, caring, or thoughtful. John from Bali-what a terrific person, full of information and great tips for things to do. Hal is the dive director and was incredibly knowledgable. All the staff were so friendly and went above an beyond daily: Tia, Tui, Kat Dolly, Emele, Eroni, and the dive team...I could go on. Be prepared for exceptional food, crab races, Kava ceremonies, coconut husking, garden tours, and easy coordination of taxis and excursions. We loved the Civa Pearl Farm and Claude is a wealth of information about the process. One tip: get Fijian dollars when you are in Nadi, as we were told that sometimes the ATM on the island runs out of cash on payday...we did not have any issues, but it would have saved us a stop on the way to the pearl farm. We hope to return someday, as I have never enjoyed a place more and I want another seafood pizza.
