Beqa Lagoon Resort

I am a Trip Leader and took a total of 22 people on a trip to Beqa Lagoon. Two of our group were non-divers. The cross from mainland to Beqa was a weather challange with high windys and choppy water. The new Cats handled to crossing fine with only a few feeling ill and all getting wet. We lost the first day of diving due to high winds but the resort added a additonal day of diving to make up for the missed dives. Everyone filled their first day with church and hiking, sleeping and relaxing. The rest of the week the winds settled and the diving was good, safe and lots of fun. The shark dive was amazing as always and everyone felt safe. We saw lots of sharks including 4 tigers that cruised in to check us out. These dives not only allow people the opportunity to see the sharks but allows the study of the sharks. The dives are done humanly and after experiancing many of these dives with the groups I bring, I feel they are good for the sharks too, no harm is done to them or their normal natural behaviors. The resort is beautiful and had a lot of activities for all to enjoy. The lagoon offers unlimited diving and snorkeling with the reef shallow enough to let the snorkelers see lots of fish. There is also SUP's and kayaks to use. On land visitors are offered hiking to the schools, villages and cultural activities like dancing, firewalking, coconut cooking, Kava ceremony and singing. The on again off again showers did not interfer with the fun. The staff was extremely fun and helpful making us all feel welcome. The onsight spa offered relaxation and romantic couples massages in a truly tropical setting. The meals offered a variety of choices and my glutton free traveler was offered special rolls that she discribed as the best she has ever had. Thank you Beqa and I will be returning soon!

What a wonderful week enjoying diving the reefs of Beqa Lagoon. A quiet, relaxing, resort we enjoyed beautiful rooms, delicious Fijian food and entertainment!! Everyone is so kind and helpful. The reefs are INCREDIBLE with the most beautiful soft and hard corals, reef fish, electric clams, sharks- wow. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, resort that will show you Fiji reefs and culture, this is it.

Just returned from an unforgettable week of scuba diving at Beqa Lagoon. The trip was relaxing, delicious, fun, enriching—and easily one of my top three vacations of all time. Even the dogs that call Beqa home are some of the most relaxed I’ve ever encountered. It’s rare to experience such genuine, elevated care from every member of a staff—and even rarer to leave a vacation feeling truly melancholy. The dive crew was fantastic throughout the week, and most of the staff greeted me by name each time we crossed paths. We were welcomed with complimentary foot massages from the kind and capable spa team. During the week, I indulged in both hot stone and deep tissue massages. I’ve had many massages over the years, but the deep tissue massage I received from Litia set a whole new standard—hands down, the best I’ve ever had. Meals were served three times daily, with the option of ordering smaller plates from the bar in between. The food was consistently good, and the ultra-fresh ceviche—enjoyed after a “cooking” demonstration led by a few staff members—was a standout. The kava ceremony was a unique and memorable experience as well. I’m already looking forward to the next time I can return and reconnect with my new friends at Beqa Lagoon!

Loved Beqa Resort. The diving and snorkeling is the best. The staff is the most accommodating and the lodging is out of an island travel magazine. We have never been to a resort with more pleasant people, from the front desk to the garden staff. The food was very good. The bar was well stocked.

Truly a one-of-a-kind experience. We came for the shark dive and it did not disappoint. Me and my partner have been diving with sharks all over the world. I own and operate a Shark diving charter in Florida and I have to say, I am truly impressed with everything about this operation starting with the feeder Brandon, truly world-class. His safety divers are highly trained professionals and they truly look after you in the water. And the sharks... this has to be some of the, if not THE best shark action in the world! The sharks are massive, and the cathedral is beautifully designed for close up interactions. Cant say enough good about it! Thank you Brandon, safety team, and Beqa Lagoon!

This trip was one of the best decisions I've ever made... possibly life-changing. January is summer is in the southern hemisphere so it was a welcome relief to leave the US winter to warm, tropical surroundings. Despite the jet lag, I spent the majority of that week diving (2 cylinder boat dives plus 1 - 2 shore dives for 5 days or more if I wanted). The dive shop is very professionally managed which is evident from the leadership all the way down to the employees maintaining equipment. Rentals are available however at minimum you'll need a SCUBA regulator and buoyancy compensator device (BCD). The dive shop prioritizes safety and despite the "cathedral" *tiger shark dive(s)... I didn't get a sense of danger since many safeguards were put in place. I had a great time discovering what's been described as an extension of the Great Barrier Reef in this corner of the South Pacific. *NOTE: You can choose to go on more than one shark dive but that will cost extra. It also depends on ad hoc scheduling based on conditions. There's too much to mention but in a nutshell... I ate restaurant quality meals (comparable to good local steakhouses), went swimming in the pool, and enjoyed group activities such as a village tour, seeing fire walkers, fire dancers, live music, and a local choir also sang for our group. There was plenty to do but I also enjoyed doing nothing. The tropical surroundings allow you to lose all track of time. The resort itself is well maintained, the rooms are clean, and entire resort possesses an almost perfect, zen-like environment. In my opinion, the Beqa Lagoon Beach Resort is a gorgeous retreat that's a far better version of home away from home. The Fijians were very gracious, hard working, and accommodating hosts. You get a sense of appreciation knowing that Fijians might be impoverished by US standards but they're extremely grateful for what they have and they're optimistic because they're mainly focused on the present moment. Thank you for reading this. This is my unbiased and unpaid review.
