Surf Tides, Swell Forecast & Weather

Cameron W from Sydney Australia Surfed Frigates with a friend & the gang at Waidroka. We were welcomed with warm greetings & could tell that the day was going to be exceptional.On the boat out we were enthralled by the stories of local aquatic life (24 species of sharks!)& variety of local surf breaks.We were also amazed by how far flying fish really can fly! Although only a day adventure, their enthusiasm was infectious;I'll be back again with my family, BUT this time, armed with my own surfboard!Vinaka Waidroka :)

Rochelle from Suva, Fiji Thanks to everyone at Waidroka for a great weekend. The resort was so comfortable and homely, but not at all boring with plenty of opportunity for fun & adventure. The snorkeling was incredible, the staff were so welcoming and fun and Pinch the puppy is just too cute for words! Ill be back for sure!
Darlene Christian from Pittsburgh, PA USA The staff at Waidroka are very friendly and accomadating. I stayed in a deluxe ocean front bure. The rooms were clean and very spacious. The diving was great escepially Frigates and Rainbow Reef. I enjoyed the people at the resort and family style dinners. The grounds were beautiful.
Seth Rosenberg from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. I spent 10 days at Waidroka Bay Resort and it was one of the best dive trips Ive ever been on. The resort is unpretentious, clean and comfortable; the food is very good and varies sufficiently to remain appealing over an extended stay. The grounds are nestled into a cove surrounded by rainforest and well maintained a beautiful, cozy place. The staff is friendly and accommodating. It was more like staying with good friends than being at a resort. And the diving is fabulous!
Jane from Blackfoot, USA Everything at Waidroka was perfect! Beautiful dives including shark dives. Very professional staff. They were so accommodating and fun to be with. Very clean resort in a beautiful location. I would love to go back.
Michelle Payne from Henderson, Nevada, USA The staff was delightful, warm and friendly, and the diving was great fun. I had a wonderful time at Waidroka. Good food too! Thanks for a great vacation.
Shay & Paddy from Australia The staff at Waidroka are such good people who made our stay memorbale with many many laughs. They always go above and beyond to make sure you are enjoying your stay. It is perfect for surfers and divers because at Waidroka they have their own boats which leave from the resort. The boats are also skippered by locals who have great local knowledge. The shark dive and surfing perfect frigates was the highlights of our trip.
John Di Rienzo from New York City, US I stayed in Waidroka last month and it was a wonderful finish to my trip. The location is ideal, with the lush tropical forest as a backdrop. The team takes good care of all the guests. I surfed Frigates they packed lunches and I thought the entire operation was well run. Take a shared van from Nadi to Pac Harbor and save on the trip to the resort. Its around $15 FJ. The vans leave from a parking lot that is across a field next to the bus station.
Rohit Dave from Hong Kong The resort backs on to a rainforest and fronts on to the sea although without a beach. There was a large clean outdoor pool with a bar. The clubhouse was spacious & comfortable with free wireless & very helpful and friendly staff. Kitchen served large portions of delicious fusion style meals. Dive staff were very experienced. Diving was simply magical as were the amazing shark feeding dives. We highly recommend this resort & plan to return soon. Overall 5 star experience at 3 star cost.
richard bilow from los angeles california usa I only stayed at Waidroka for a few days, but they were awesome. The staff arranged a shark dive which left from Waidroka by boat and met up with the best shark dive operator you could ever imagine. We also dove bommies near Frigates loaded with healthy hard and soft corals. Boris told me about a rarely visited pinacle they can visit if enough people ask. Sure wish I had more days!
Adam & Kiley Reed from Oceanside Ca, USA Adam and I stayed at Waidroka back in September 2010. At least once a week we talk about the amazing time we had and wish we could go back tomorrow! The staff made our stay so memorable. From the first day we were there it felt like we were staying with old friends! We still keep in contact with the two other guests who were also staying there. We Love Fiji, Waidroka Bay Resort, the staff and Fijian people!
Len & Linda Randall from Tarzana, Ca. USA We both loved the place. It was like being on a private island and all the employees went out of their way to make you feel at home. We enjoyed the diving and all the help that the boat crew give us. They took care of all our dive gear for the entire week we dove. The rooms and food were great too. It is a beautiful resort and very well run. Thank you guys for a great vacation.
Stuart Standeaven from Queensland, Australia Jeremy, Mike and I stayed at Waidroka in August and absolutley scored 6-8ft Frigates and 6ft Pipes on the weekend of the 7/8th of August with just us out. What an awesome experience and the resort was great as well! Great staff, facilities, food- what more could you ask for! I will be back!
Tommy and Jenna from Carlsbad, USA Waidroka Bay Resort is filled with wonderful staff! They made our stay as enjoyable as possible, while also making us feel at home. We chose Waidroka because we wanted a surfing adventure and Waidroka was a resort that provided access to surf and was affordable. We are so happy we went there because they took us out to surf Frigates (EPIC)and local spots, which were experiences of a lifetime. So if you're looking for a tropical surfing or diving get away, Waidroka is definitely a score.
Tab & Craig Gilbert from Naracoorte SA, Australia This is a lovely secluded resort,an absolute pleasure to stay at.As it only takes a small # of guests at a time,resulting in a more personal exp.Chris & Sarah work tirelessly to make sure we got the most out of our stay as poss.

Tina & Brad Breitwieser from Illinois, USA W.B. Resort is like a Hidden Gem. Quite remote, peaceful and somewhat like staying with family.The meals were creative, fresh, & delicious. The bread, butter and coffee tasty ! Sarah catered to my strange dietary needs wonderfully. Chris, an excellent dive master, showed us things we might have missed. We highly recommend the massages (after a strenuous dive day) and Jewel of Fiji Tour for an excellent cultural experience. We're glad we shared part of our honeymoon at Waidroka Bay !
Nick Renford from Sydney, Australia Waidroka Bay Resort is a great place to enjoy quality time. Eat, sleep, read, dive, sleep and get great waves. The food is excellent and the service has a personal touch. Chris and Sarah are fine hosts who know how to make their guests feel at home. In fact, dinner is often a multi-cultural affair. Be prepared to encounter great converstaion from interesting people. Thanks again, Sarah and Chris. Hope to surf Frigates again one day and stay with you again.
craig Harris from NZ I was looking for a place with some peace and tranquility,where i could do the odd dive, and boy did i find it, your diving will be well catered for,as Chris is a true professional,with very high standards in regards to safety. BIG brings his own character to the place,! Kai ?? he's just Kool Sarah?? her past employment skills just shine at Waidroka. i can HIGHLY recommend that you should attempt to visit Waidroka
Robin and Kevin Florey from Tucson USA My husband and I were thinking about opening a small diving resort when we retired. Watching how hard Sarah, Chris and Kai worked and we've changed our minds! They worked tirelessly to make our stay special and felt like part of their family. If you are looking for that small resort tucked out of the way. This is the place! Beqa bay and Friggets pass were unforgetable, as was all of the diving. WE WILL BE BACK!
Steve and Zac from Salem, Oregon It has been a tough two weeks since being at the resort. Zac and I had such a great time here. Even when Zac suffered a little bit of the F1J1 Flu he said he wouldn't of wanted to be any where else in the world. Sarah and Chris were unreal host that truly made you feel like friends and Kai seemed like my brother. Fifteen dives and all the meals were great. Hope to return soon to see my friends and this truly unforgetable staff. Until we Dive again, Steve
Damien and Jason from Tasmania - Australia Paradise!!! Chris and Sarah welcome you with open arms. Kai knows the surfing spots and these are amazing - Frigates is really really good!! Food is superb - ate for 6 day/nights and every meal a treat. Relaxed when needed - 3 days straight surfing catches up with you?? Fijian staff wonderful Dinner time great to meet people Will be back again - Thank you!!
Richard James and Jennifer Carlson from Palmdale, USA We came to scuba dive; the dive services were very professional. Dinners were elegant, and we especially liked the lovo feast, prepared and proudly served by the Fijian staff. The accommodation of our interests made us feel comfortable. A Handmade Resort is befitting of Waidroka, as it was obvious to us that Chris and Sarah are personally invested in their management endeavor and care deeply about their guests experience. We found it to be resort that is polished without being pretentious.
Marty, Suzi and Tallulah from Australia Waidroka was our style of resort. Quiet, chilled guests, and excellent staff. We found a relaxed atmosphere that was just what we were looking for. Surfed pipes which was awesome, food fantastic, snorkle and rain forest trip excellent. Our 5 month old daughter was well looked after. Will be back. Have spread the word. Hope your new baby arrived safe and well. Marty, Suz & Tallulah. Email if in Aus would love to catch up Suz, Marty and Tallulah
Bob & Teresa Pooley from San Diego, CA USA Thank you to Boris, Chris, Sarah, Kai, Ponte and everybody else. We enjoyed being part of the Waidroka family during our stay. And, we really enjoyed the wreck dives. We'll see you next time we on that side of the island.
Margie Tyre from Santa Barbara, CA What a beautiful tropical resort. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful, I was sad to leave. The diving staff are top notch. The diving was spectacular, and they took us on the Beqa shark dive, a pretty exciting dive! We also went on a whitewater rafting tour through the beautiful "Grand Canyon" of Fiji. Waidroka Bay staff arranged for everything, including all transportation, and I'll never forget the Kava Ceremony! I would love to go back and stay longer!
Ian Woodley from Redondo Beach California, USA Had an unbelievable time, stayed for 10 days got in 11 dives and surfed 9 days. Saw sharks, dolphins, pilot whales, sailfish, sea snakes to name a few. The only reason I didn't surf 10 days was because it was too big one day! Frigates was unreal, Pipes definitely the most challenging and Serua was one of the funnest waves I have surfed, all with "Almost No Crowd". The food was great and dinners every night were always filled with great conversation. Thanks and I will be back!
Kathi W from Redondo Beach, Ca Beautiful Fiji will always be in our hearts. We can't wait to come back, you all are such gracious hosts. The surf was amazing and the diving was great! We loved the AquaTrek shark dive, what an amazing dive. Ponti and boat staff were so sweet and I loved the kitchen ladies. This is the first beach trip where I actually gained weight thanks to the lucious food! Give Big a hug and throw him a rock for us...till next time, Vinaka Vakalevu
randy Miller from Durango, Colorado My wife and I spent 5 wondeful days at the resort in March 2009 and had a wonderful time. Boris was a gracious host, he went out of his way to make our stay very special. The feel of the resort was very relaxed and the entire staff was friendly and helpful, we had a terrific time. Randy Miller
Shaun from USA Thank you Boris and The Waidroka Team for a wonderful vacation, we truely enjoyed every moment of it. The surf was just fantastic and the family type atmosphere was unbelievable. We felt at home always taken care of and had an absolute blast at Waidroka. Thanks to Boris for taking care of every aspect of our vacation and Ponti Ben and Sai who really did it all for us. The food was great and activities stunning, we hope to come back soon. Vinaka & Bula
CHristie Gear from Macomb. Illinois, United States One of the things I love about Waidroka is the family-style dinner every night. Although sometimes it was a struggle for me to get anyone to talk about anything except diving, I loved the lively exchanges when they REALLY got going about some other topics! It was never boring! Julie and Darryl are fun, funky folks with WONDERFUL senses of humor. When they're around, you have no other option but to relax and have fun. My other favorite thing? The hammocks by the ocean. A great breeze.
Del from Victoria, Canada Darryl and Julie, Thanks for forwarding the shark video -- great to re-live the experience (and fear!). Thinking back to our time there, I thoroughly enjoyed your hospitality and being in your capable hands while diving. I loved the dives in Beqa Lagoon -- all the soft corals -- and outside the reef at Frigates -- three very special dives. And Waidroka was a very nice place to hang out in after the dives -- nice, clean bures, the pool, the resort lobby, e-mail, pool table, cold beer, etc.
Sekar & Mala from Lautoka, Fiji great place,great staff, great food...simply awesome. Julie and Darryl..your personal touch to Waidroka makes it very unique and homely. Thanks for everything....definitely we will be back Vinaka
John Detring from Key Largo, Florida, USA Thanks Julie, Darryl, and Cap. I had a blast at Waidroka. The resort was great, the food was scrumptous, and the surfing at Frigates was magic. I'll be back next year for sure.

Jo & Tim from New Zealand A huge thanks to Julie and Darryl and all the staff at Waidroka for making our stay very special. We were only in Fiji for a friends wedding and picked up a leaflet for Waidroka when looking for something to do afterwards.

We felt very well looked after and will most definately be back - the sooner the better. Love Jo & Tim

Hillary Arnold from Olympia, WA, USA A huge thanks to everyone at Waidroka Bay for an awesome stay! I came to Fiji for a mission trip - but couldn't come all that way and not dive - so I booked a few days at WB as a solo traveler. You all treated me like family and I can't thank you enough! I look forward to Diving with Julie and Darryl again soon! By the way: the Shark Dive is a must, I'm so glad Boris talked me into it! God Bless, and can't wait to see you again! Hillary

The way you and your staff has treated Marianne and I is nothing else than fantastic.
