Waidroka Bay Resort

The Waidroka staff went above and beyond for our dive trip to Fiji! The Staff all knew our names by the second day!! A perfect blend of attentiveness and camaraderie! Unobstructed views of oceanfront, extensive beautiful grounds! It was quiet and peaceful! The Kava ceremony on the last night was Epic! The staff sang harmony with ukelele and guitars! It could have been a recording! Young men from the a nearby town performed for us in traditional outfits. They were so exuberant, having fun, and had us join in the dancing! The shark dives were phenomenal, with Bull, Lemon and Nurse sharks coming to within 10-15 feet of us! It was like it was practiced! Almost surreal. Dive staff went over the procedures carefully the night before the 2 dives, so we felt confident on what to do. It was amazing to be able to observe sharks that close for approx. 20 minutes each dive! Rooms were large & air-conditioned, with large windows and ceiling fans! Grant and Sam, my dive masters, were knowledgeable and attentive! Ben, our captain, was always helpful and they all worked beautifully as a team. Pampered help on with my fins going in and one of them was underwater taking our fins off as we got onto the ladder getting back into the dive boat! The meals were exemplary! Beautifully presented and tasty! And the kitchen staff/wait staff always had smiles for us, I wish I could remember all their names, they always remembered mine! You could order anything for Breakfast and Lunch from the ample menu. You had 2 choices of 3-course options at Dinner, one being vegetarian. They had you pick your choice for lunch at breakfast and your choice for dinner at lunch! Dan was always smiling and greeting us at the main pavilion where we had our meals, attentive to any needs of the guests. Manager Beth or Dive Master Jamie came every evening at dinner to talk to us individually about our activities on the next day! Very professional and organized! Always available to listen or help! Diving, Surf lessons, massages, kayaking, paddle boarding, basket making demonstration, medicine walk, swimming, bed hammocks under shade… it was paradise! I highly recommend Waidroka Resort and will recommend it to all my friends! I wouldn’t hesitate to come back! Waidroka would be my first choice in Fiji!!

What a fantastic holiday! I came here with my adult daughter for an ‘ultimate dive package’ and it’s been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. The diving is first class- a great variety of reefs, masses of diversity in the underwater life and the classic shark dive where we saw so many bull and nurse sharks. The diving was extremely professional and very safe- we always felt in great hands. It’s run by Grant and Jamie who know the sea and diving so well. Jamie is a brilliant fish biologist and taught us so much about identifying species. The resort is relaxed and friendly and we really felt like part of a big kind family. The rooms are lovely and comfortable with air con and super beds. I woke up every morning to the sound and the sight of the sea. We also tried a bit of kayaking to local sandy beaches and a calming yoga session run by the lovely Marianna. The food is delicious!! So much fresh fish and fresh fruit! I’ve been on a lot of diving trips and this is the best! Thanks Waidroka!

Great trip. It was 10 days of diving, 2 or 3 guided dives a day. The weather was cooperative and the staff took great care of me, both the dive and resort staff. The two shark dives were awesome. This is my second trip to Waidroka in 9 years. I can't speak to the surfing or fishing, but those guests seemed to enjoy their time too.

Waidroka Resort in Fiji is a dream come true for anyone who loves diving! The water is so clear you can see everything, and there's tons of cool marine life and beautiful coral reefs. The staff are super friendly and helpful, making sure you have everything you need for your underwater adventure and your time on land :) Both the Fijian staff and staff from all over were kind and great conversationalists after we were tired from 3-a-day dives :) The dive sites are out of this world, with colorful coral, turtles, and even pilot whales right there in the crystal-clear water. Experienced divemasters will guide you safely through unforgettable experiences like swimming with sharks. On our non dive days we kayaked and also took a day trip in to Suva. There are several adventure excursions you can do from the resort and the staff have lots of info on it. We came as a couple but loved it so much we are planning to return with our small children at some point -- the staff mentioned that children are welcome and have a ton of fun playing with neighborhood kids and discovering around the water and forest. The resort offers babysitting as well and will tailor the menus for kids if needed. I highly recommend Waidroka Resort. It's a place where you can create memories that will last a lifetime.

There isn't enough to say about this amazing resort. We had an awesome time and the staff were amazing every single day. From the Dive crew, boat crew, resort staff everyone exceeded our expectations. Definitely would retun to this resort again and again.

Sehr schönes, abseits gelegenes Resort direkt am Meer inmitten von traumhaftem Regenwald ! Das Personal ist sehr bemüht und freundlich . Ich fühlte mich von Beginn an sehr wohl und alle meine Wünsche wurden erfüllt . Auch das Diving Center war sehr gut organisiert und die Tauchplätze unweit vom Resort mit dem Boot zu erreichen . Ich werde wieder kommen !
