مراجعاتBeqa Lagoon Resort

This is a great resort and the diving was fantastic. The staff is amazing and the diving is world class. I would certainly rate the resort a 5 except for a very disturbing experience we had at the secret island experience, I would warn anyone going on the secret island excursion that it can have a strong current, be very careful. Our group was left on the island unescorted. The stafff gave us directions for snorkeling which led to a very strong current that pulled us directly to open sea. The crew on the boat was not paying attention, our group had to rescue one of our snorkelers This was very frightening and could have very easily ended in a tragedy. The resort refunded two of the excursion fees, but seemed to underestimate the seriousness of the incident. Please make sure you demand that the tour boat keeps close attention of your group if you snorkel at secret island.

The GMs and staff were exceptional! So many memories! Initially thought this was a once in a lifetime trip. But before we left we knew we’ll be back!

Beqa Lagoon Resort, Fiji (pronounced Benga) 5th–12th July 2025 Almost two years ago, I began planning a trip to Fiji to dive with the sharks of Beqa Lagoon, a dream for many divers. On the morning of July 5th, our group met at 3:00 am at Sydney Airport for a 6:00 am flight to Nadi, Fiji. After landing, we were met by our bus for the journey to Pacific Harbour. Unfortunately, it was a small bus... for 21 people plus luggage, lucky they had a trailer. The 165 km drive took around 3.5 hours. From Pacific Harbour, we boarded two large aluminium catamarans for the final 45-minute crossing to Beqa Island. As the sun set, we arrived on the beach to the sound of the resort staff singing a traditional Fijian welcome. After a long journey, we had finally arrived, and it was immediately worth it. Day 1 – Checkout Dives The first dive day started with a check dive at the site used for the shark feeding. Visibility was decent at 20–25 meters, but milky, less than I’d expected for Fiji. Tawny nurse sharks approached as we arrived, and a few bull sharks joined us on the bottom, though they quickly left when they realized there was no food. Our second dive was at “Seven Sisters” — a reef featuring a small swim-through and a resident ribbon eel. A scenic dive, but still an introductory warm-up. Day 2 – Drift Diving Conditions ramped up on day two, with rough seas and strong currents on the western side of the lagoon. The first dive was a drift from John’s Tunnel to The Golden Arch — spectacular visibility (~40 meters), stunning soft corals, sea fans, and schools of small reef fish. The second dive was a small wreck just offshore from the resort. Visibility dropped to around 8 meters, and while the wreck was fun to explore, I found the surrounding reef more vibrant. Day 3 – Wrecks & Reef Our morning dive was on a sunken Chinese trawler. While most of us focused on the reef (with its schools of barracuda, fans, and small swim-throughs), Paul was drawn to the wreck’s rusting charm. The second dive, “Circus-Circus,” featured a massive coral bommie teeming with life. The highlight was a mantis shrimp, though the overall density of marine life made it a diver’s playground. Graham and I managed to squeeze in a few shore dives in the afternoons. Visibility was only about 5 meters, but there were plenty of critters around to photograph. Shark Dives – The Main Event Beqa Lagoon is world-famous for its shark dives, particularly its encounters with bull and tiger sharks. We had booked one day of double shark dives, but I was keen to do more. After speaking with the dive operation, I learned that extra spots on the shark boats could be filled if available. Thanks to this, some of us managed three days of shark diving. How It Works The dive site is a submerged pinnacle on the reef edge. Boats moor, and divers descend to a rock wall at 20 meters. Behind the wall, divers kneel while the wranglers prepare the feeding station: a large aluminium box containing tuna heads. The tun

It has been a little over a month since I returned from Beqa Lagoon Resort, and I can’t seem to forget the wonderful feeling! The excellent food, the island setting and the lush, carefully maintained grounds were all part of the experience. But what really has stuck with me was the friendliness and sincere warmth of the staff. Many of the staff live in nearby villages and “commute” on foot to the Resort. They are just wonderful and they soon learned many of our names! (I would mention a few names but I would not want to inadvertently omit anyone!) The opportunity we had to visit one of the villages and a primary & secondary school was truly a cultural treat. I don’t dive, unfortunately, but several others in the group took the onsite certification course and seemed very pleased with the program. If or, I hope, when I return to Fiji, the Beqa Lagoon Resort will be at the top of my list!

Very nice resort with mostly modern amenities. Very comfortable accomodations and professional dive operations. Shark feeding dive were as advertised with large Tiger Sharks arriving at The Cathedral.

Went with a dive group. This is the second time I have been to Bega Lagoon Resort. The last time was more than 14 years ago, however. The food, service, and accommodations are wonderful. The Fijian people are very friendly and welcome visitors to their island home. The diving is great. The shark dive is a must!

Kate and I had a great trip. We went for the diving and it did not disappoint, the reef was vibrant with hard and soft corals and a great variety of fish and critters. The night dive was awesome(thanks Jerry) and the main attraction, the shark dive with tigers, bulls, lemons and tawny nurse sharks really felt like a privilege to be there. Well managed by the boat and dive crew, great shark knowledge from Brandon and the video taken by Nix was better than our own stills and video grabs. Many thanks for the memory. Fellow divers were also great company. On shore, everything felt so relaxed. All the staff led by Filo were really welcoming and friendly, the food was great, accommodation clean and spacious and the daily cultural activities genuine and entertaining. We'd love to go back one day with our boys.

We had the most incredible time at Beqa Lagoon Resort! All the staff were so welcoming and friendly, the rooms were stunning and the twice daily turn down service was a treat, the food was incredible, there were so many activities put on for the guests (school/village visit, fire ceremony, cooking show etc.), the spa was fab, and the whole atmosphere was just so wonderful and intimate. We did our PADI open water diving course here and we're so glad we did! We had Suli as our instructor and honestly we could not have asked for a better experience!! He trained us so well and efficiently that we were able to go for a reef dive and even swim with the sharks the day after qualifying - what an experience and we felt so safe with Suli, thank you! We couldn't recommend Beqa Lagoon Resort more (even if we'd like to reserve this slice of heaven for ourselves!).

Our stay at Beqa Lagoon Resort exceeded our family’s expectations. The staff with Filo at the lead was outstanding responding to every request that we made. Our beach front burrs were great. A patio with a plunge pool for each room with beautiful views of the lagoon, king beds plus an additional bed for our granddaughter. Lounge space in each room and plenty of space to unpack and settle in for the week. The grounds are lush and immaculate. Food was delicious, and beautifully presented. Plenty of choices over the course of the week. The lamb and fish dishes were especially good. We were celebrating my 80th and our son’s 50th birthdays. One evening we were surprised with happy birthday decorations at our table at dinner and a beautifully decorated cake. Best of all was the staff singing happy birthday wishes. Local music and singing was especially appreciated during various time during the week. We didn’t dive but the reports from the divers said each site was top notch. We snorkeled and it was perhaps the best we have experienced and we’ve been many great places. The soft coral heads that you could easily swim to from the resort beach were teaming with life, beautiful with varied coral, a large variety of fish and other sea life e.g., octopuses, anemones, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, star fish etc. We also went on two guided reef snorkel trips that were great especially the one that Jay led. We also did the mangrove kayaking, the Secret Isand outing and the visit to the village school. All were well executed and fun! Filo made arrangements for us to go on an all day river rafting trip on the Upper Navua River. We highly recommend this adventure which goes through an amazing canyon as beautiful as any we’ve seen ( and we’ve river rafted a lot). Moses was our guide. He was fun and provided us lots of interesting information! In closing, thanks to Beqa Lagoon Resort for a memorable family vacation!

This is my 2nd time at Beqa Lagoon. I joined a group of friends both times, but this time, my adult kids came. And Beqa is just the best. The diving was nice. The boats were great and the divemasters care about each of us. The shark dive was very professional, very educational, and will be a lasting memory. I still go nuts every time I see an electric clam. The rooms and beds fantastic with zero problems at all and so so so comfortable. The food stellar. But really, the people are what make Beqa a no brainer choice. The island has no roads, there are a few villages, and all the people whether at the resort or a short walk away....just nice and kind. Take time and talk. Oh....the sunset photos alone are worth the trip. Yes, I will be visiting Beqa again, and hopefully again.

From the minute we arrived at the resort, we were treated to an amazing experience. It was a long flight from St Louis through Chicago to LAX, then another 10.5 hours through the air to Fiji. We landed at Nadi and were greeted by the representative from the resort(and bus driver!). Granted we still had about three more hours of travel, but they tried to make it as comfortable as possible. The boat ride was about 35 minutes long and took us to Beqa Island. As we arrived at the island, the staff met us at the shore,singing a Fijian song of welcome. This was just amazing. They welcomed us with a fruit drink and made sure we got to our rooms. We were in Bure 1 which is pretty much centered in the resort, steps away from everything. We had our initial meeting with the dive operations team and Brandon made sure we all understood what was going to happen during our stay. They took our gear and placed it in gear bags and added them to the boat. I use 100cf tanks and they made sure that it was listed next to my name. Each day, before we even set foot on the dive boats, roll call was conducted and the divers received instructions for that day. The dive guides would brief us on the sites once we arrived. Our dive guide was Suli. He was amazing! Each dive, we got to see something we have never seen before. Made each dive so much more interesting. We never wanted the dives to stop!!! We also did a pair of shark dives that have ruined us for all other encounters with sharks. The Tiger sharks were HUGE!! We also did a night dive. In all of our dives, the guides made sure we were safe at all times. We never had to worry. We even found a wreck! My wife and I are usually reef divers but an occasional wreck never hurt. We know that a past customer hated the wreck and the diver operations manager was going to stop using that wreck as a dive site. We encouraged him to keep it. It’s a great wreck with tons of wildlife on it. The dive boats were well maintained and were actually dual-hulled power boats. They were very stable in the waters around the island. There were times when the seas had a little heavier swells than when we eft the resort. The boats helped decreased them. I have been in single-hulled boats in other areas and they were not as stable. They would rock int e swells more readily than the Beqa Resort boats. Everyday, the staff had something to do in the afternoon. You weren’t required to be involved, but we were encouraged. They would announce the days activities in the morning telling us what was going to happen during the day. Many of the activities were put on by the Activities Group. Jay was the most noticeable of the group, but was also very humble and polite. They had school tours, waterfall hikes and shopping tours on the main island, Fiji. Meals were amazing. Every morning, you had your breakfast cooked to order. They would have the menu for the lunch and dinner meals. All you had to do was mark what you wanted and how much. They woul

Every single person was there to serve and did so with a giving spirit. Phenomenal experience. Each dive was an unforgettable experience. The shark dive was incredible. The wreck dive wonderful. Each reef was healthy and beautiful. An A+ destination

La experiencia en el resort es excepcional. Desde la calurosa bienvenida a la preciosa despedida, tendrás a todo el personal pendiente de que estés a gusto y tengas todo lo que necesitas. Nuestro principal motivo para ir fue el buceo y estoy seguro que habrá pocas inmersiones en el mundo tan apasionantes como la catedral. Me reafirmo en lo dicho para el personal del resort en el del centro de buceo: fabuloso!!!! Muchas gracias por estos dias pasados.

I went to this resort as part of a diving group, but I am not a diver. I just relaxed and enjoyed the activities & the food at the resort. The accommodation was great, and the cleaning crew did an excellent job daily. The food was very good, and the selection of dishes was pretty interesting. In the morning you pick your lunch and the entree for dinner from 1 fish, 1 vegetarian, and 1 meat (chicken, beef, or lamb). The best part of the resort is the staff. They are friendly, funny, and super helpful. I enjoyed all the time I spent with them. They did a wonderful job of showing us around and giving us opportunities to learn about Fiji and the Fijians. The included activities were very good, I would highly recommend them. I also participated in a Day Trip to Suva and it was very informative.
