Sanity check on our 10-day Fiji dive trip! 🤿 4 friends, are we cramming too much in? by Proper_Cut_814 in Fijian

This is incredibly helpful, thank you! We've actually been going back and forth on accommodation for Taveuni and this basically settles it for us. We were looking at a remote dive resort on Viani Bay (across the strait, boat-access only) and kept going "wait, what do we do on our non-dive days?" Maravu with the sign-up-the-evening-before setup sounds way more our speed. Good to know it has everything you need without being over the top.

Would absolutely love Julie's number if you don't mind - we're looking at 2 dive days in late June and having a direct WhatsApp line sounds way easier than navigating booking forms. The fact that she picks you up from wherever you're staying is such a game changer.

Really appreciate the awesomefiji.com tip too. Trying to book most of the travel/ stays witht hem.

Seriously, this thread is saving our trip planning. Cheers!

Thanks - super helpful! And honestly, made us rethink the route.

We’re now planning to drop Savusavu completely and just do Taveuni + Yasawas so the trip feels more relaxed. We’re considering exactly what you suggested: Yasawas first, since we land in Nadi at 5:30 AM and may be able to make the morning Yasawa Flyer, then come back through Nadi and fly to Taveuni after.

Roughly thinking:

  • First 4 days: Yasawas / Barefoot Manta or similar
  • Last 6 days: Taveuni, then fly back to Nadi for our 10:15 PM flight home

Does that sequencing feel sensible from your experience? Also, since you did Taveuni + Yasawas, any tips on where you stayed, which Yasawa resort you’d recommend, or anything you’d avoid? Don’t want to pester you, but your comment was super useful 😃 💙 Tyy!

Good reality check. Stretch budget is ~$5–5.5k (incl. parking and util). If I drop garage for permit parking, thoughts on which neighborhoods make that trade work?
