Waidroka Bay Resort

The whole experience was absolutely amazing. We came to Fiji for a conference/retreat and the staff was awesome. The food is out of this world. I was unsure about how the cooking was going to be….. let me tell you everything that was prepared was fresh and full of flavor. A wide selection of meals for breakfast and lunch and then a choice of 2 different meals for dinner. I would get one and my wife got the other. We would share or fight over who got what. Absolutely amazing. We were interested in tattoos and they made a phone call. Boom he came to us and prices were very affordable. Outstanding all the way around.

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!!

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.
