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.

We just spent 2 weeks in February at the Taveuni Dive Resort. I cannot say enough good things about it. It was run exceptionally well. The staff at the resort as well as the diving staff were attentive to all our needs. The resort was very clean and well managed. The food was good and plentiful. There was always coffee, tea (both hot and cold) and cookies available. The diving was spectacular. The white wall was breath taking. Hal, the dive master, made sure our dives were safe and fun. Most of our surface intervals were on a lovely beach where we could get off the boat and just play in the water. While we were there, we had a category 3 cyclone. The staff was amazing and took it in stride. They set up the dive shop as a dining area and served our meals to us there. Even in the midst of a hurricane they made sure we were well taken care of. Carl and his wife Muriel own the resort. They were always available to answer any of our questions and help with anything we might need. Jon was the man we talked to on the phone about all our arrangements. He was easy and fun to work with. We are definitely planning on going back and we would highly recommend this dive resort.

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!

TDR was from start to finish an awesome dive vacation. Nice burres to sleep in, great variety of food, and very helpful dive crews. The dive crews do more work helping the diver than I have seen in my 400 dives around the world. Highly recommend the resort. TDR is located a short boat ride to the reefs, and the underwater life was varied - sharks, eels, nudibranchs, turtles, and too many fish too count, The reef is healthy. Would go again!!

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!
