The main attraction
is scuba diving, however
a stay at the resort offers a wonderful cultural experience as its location
is in close proximity to Fijian villages. You can see first hand, how
the Fijians live - a lifestyle that has changed very little over the past
100 years. A visit to the local school is a big event. Children love guests. Just behind the resort the land slopes gently upward into a tropical forest. Further into the forest one comes across a fresh water stream descending from a waterfall just about a mile from the resort. Here the thick jungle vegetation occasionally gives way to patches of sweet potatoes, pineapples and taro, but all in all, the land remains pristine. Tropical flowers bloom everywhere and the tables of the resort are always filled with fresh cuttings. If you continue your hike to the top of trail you will see the WW II American gun site and enjoy a view over the entire lagoon. With a little more ambition and time you could hike to the top of the mountain where you can see the entire island from one place. Although
the resort grounds are neatly groomed, colorful island critters still
have free range - little green geckos scurry around and at night crabs
march across the lawn to the beach. 12
Beachfront Bure - Each featuring a spacious
courtyard with a plunge pool and bamboo fence to ensure privacy. Snorkel
- don a mask and fins anytime. One of the resort's distinctive features
is that coral reef heads thrive just a few feet from the beach. Even if
you do not dive, you will be able to see many wonders of the Beqa Lagoon. Scuba Diving - Surrounded by over 190 miles of spectacular coral, diving in these calm, protected waters is like exploring another world. The water is clear and warm with mild currents and visibility typically over 100 feet. Many of the most spectacular dive sights are only a few minutes from shore, and if you stay long enough, one could explore over 100 different sights. Blue Ribbon Eels, Clown Triggers, Lion Fish, Leaf Scorpions, Reef Sharks and millions of colorful Anthias and Fusiliers all abound in these waters. The Dive Masters at the resort have been diving in these waters since they were children and know every reef and coral head. Dive Magazine voted it "One of the best dive sites in the world". Fishing - Favored year round. Troll for the adrenaline rush; experience the thrill of fighting with a yellow fin tuna. The waters of Beqa Lagoon have not been extensively explored so you come with a good game. July - November is great for Black Marlin. July - August is the best time if you are after Blue Marlin, Wahoo and Spanish Mackerel. June is the month when the water boils with Yellow Tuna and February is the time for Barracuda. Surf
the Fiji Pipeline - Voted one of the best two waves in Fiji. Powerful,
fast developing world class left with prevailing offshore winds, Frigate
Passage also known as Fiji Pipeline is located on the southwest barrier
reef of the island, just a short distance from the resort. Frigate Passage
offers the ideal conditions that naturally generate these kinds of world
class waves.
