Super Barrels at Frigates & Pipe AGAIN ! it was just perfect with close to double overhead, but clean and pure fun. The rides at Frigates where loooong...and Pipe was just cracking with fast and absolutley hollow rides - just tuck in and if you made it - it was the ride of a lifetime...awsome!
So the Tiger has been back at the shark dive more consistantly again and again. It is always such an experience when the Tiger visits and the divers and Bulls and all other living creatures down there simply shrink in size. What a divce it is when the Tiger comes, however the Bulls are there in bigger and bigger numbers and all other shark species as well. One of the best dives you'll ever experience - and don't forget to bring OR RENT your camera!
Waidroka Bay has last week added 3 more right-handers to its local and close by surf spots. With J's, an extremely fast right hand hollow barrel, Shifties which is a deep water pyramid take off right hander and Vunaniu also a fast right hand barrel we are now counting a total of 8 different right- and left-handers to our wave selection - obviously lead by Frigates Passage.
Lately we did many special dive trips including going via Beqa wreck and soft coral dives to dive Frigates and the outer walls of the Beqa Lagoon - this is an absolute winner of getting it all in one day. Of course this is a 3 tank experience and a long day, but one of the best days a diver can dream of.
First Humpback Whales seen right off our shores on the way to yesterdays surf & dive trip (scored some great Tuna on the way back...). The whales seem to have arrived early this year - what an awesome experience to see their tail right in front of the boat!!!
The famous 'scarface' Tiger shark has made several come-backs to our recent shark dives - what a sight when 'scarface' came straight in through the bull-sharks for some chummm.......
Waidroka Bay Resort has launched together with its surrounding villages of Serua, Korovisilou and Vunaniu a new charity to push and help promote children and young student's educational efforts. The guests of Waidroka have already responded extremely well to this effort making donations, which Waidroka Bay Resort doubles, dollar for dollar every time a guest makes a donation. We are extremely excited to be able to pay-back and help and support our local community with such a great cause - supporting the children and future of Fiji with their educational efforts.
As part of our ongoing effort to ensure not only traveling surfers and tourists get to surf some of the best waves in the world and enjoy what Fiji’s surf-breaks have to offer, WAIDROKA BAY SURF RESORT – Fiji’s leading surf resort together with WAI TUI and in cooperation with the FIJI SURF ASSOCIATION have created a NEW program to collect surf boards for Fiji’s young surfers, in order to enable the local talents to exceed and enjoy their own – FIJI SURFING! This program will encourage visiting surfers who in Fiji to donate surf boards of any kind, size, age and style to the Fiji Surf Association, who in turn will enable young local surfers to access the boards for training purposes. Surfboards are definitely a luxury item in Fiji and for Fijian youth it is almost impossible to afford a surfboard to simply enjoy what nature has created in Fiji’s backyard – PERFECT WAVES!
The combination of surfing/diving has produced some of the best days in many peoples lives here at Waidroka...imagine scuba diving with incredible marine life, amongst sharks, turtles, baracudas and stingrays, to spectacular drop-offs with visibility of 100 feet - then surfacing and surfing some off the best waves in the Pacific at Frigates and finally possibly catching some fish trawling on the way back! We have had it all recently! Including scoring 21 Tuna just recently and having Sashimi forever....what a life!
Due to popular demand Waidroka Bay Resort has opened it's NEW 'Shared Accommodation'. One of our Panoramic Oceanview Rooms, at the hilltop overlooking the resort and bay (absolutely spectacular views) has been converted into a dormitory type shared room with maximum capacity of 4 people at a time. The cost inlcudingt ALL MEALS is ONLY $ 120 FJD per person per night!!! This is what the budget surfers and divers have been waiting for - SO BOOK NOW!
Sharks, sharks, sharks...the shark dive delivered as usual some of the best pictures with bulls right on the lenses of our photographers...some great footage was shot!
Surf has been up at Frigates & Pipe for some of the best waves this year yet! The guests and surfers here at the time can call themselves lucky to score 4-6 footers - glassy and barrels. Even Serua Rights gave us a taste of what it can deliver....YEAH!
Divers: We are a full service PADI DIVE RESORT! Enjoy some of the best diving the Coral Coast has to offer: Beqa Lagoon, Frigates Wall, and the popular SHARK DIVE!!
Delightful additions to our menu to wet your appetite:
