Hey,
When I came my first time to Fiji I knew I would come back, I've never been to a place with an intact reef like this. So I was looking for a place a bit away from the main tourists and close to the famous rainbow reef.
I was lucky enough that Marina and Jone had free accommodation so the choice wasn't hard and I decided to stay there for over a month and do my rescue diver and dive mater there.
The place is remote and if u go there pls don't expect a super cheap trip or touristy hotel.
BUT u can expect an individual and unique experience in a local and natural environment which is so much better!
It started already with the short flight from Nandi to Taveuni which was just beautiful.
Then my new friends picked me up at the airport and brought me to the final place by boat, which was already the next fantastic experience.
As soon as I arrived I felt super comfortable. Beautiful area in the middle of the nature with your own house reef. It's located in a small village with beautiful and super friendly people. All of them made me feel like in a big family
The diving in the rainbow reef is amazing and not describeable in words. The variety of fishes, nudibranches and all other sea animals as well as super colorful softcorals and hardcorals is unbelievable.
And if u don't go diving u can spend the time on your own beach or explore the island. There is lots of stuff to do and to see
The owners took care of everything and if there was sth I needed, I could go with them to Taveuni a few times per week to get it (but to be honest, there was nothing I missed).
I went diving almost every day and couldn't get enough.
Marina took care of the most of my courses which she did really professional.
When there was time inbeteeen, Jone took me a few times to his coral farms to take care of those (another unique experience).
The quality of the diving equipment, the accommodation and the food was perfect, too.
It was a pity that I had to leave this little paradise but I will come back for sure.
Highly recommend! (but be careful, u will be spoiled )
Thanks a lot for such an amazing time to Marina & Jone and your crew and friends
See u soon, Bernie - via
