Beqa Lagoon Resort

We went with Dive World Austin to Beqa Resort Fiji from May 23 through May 30, 2026. There were 50 of us in our diving group. The staff welcomed us with singing as we walked onto the beach from the boat. The many daily activities were based on Fiji culture and were unique and enjoyable. Shoutout to Jay, Wame and Tabuna who spent countless hours showing us the culture and local villages and schools. Also they are amazing Fire Walkers, drummers and fire dancers! Jay sponsored several conservation projects: mangrove and coral planting and crown of thorns removal. Then there is the amazing Dive Shop crew. Our dive masters, KB, Zack, Fili, Gun, Misa and Nix were excellent. They were all so fun and friendly but very serious about safety. They knew where we were at all times but didn’t hover and showed us so much sea life. Most of us were new to the South Pacific reef and weren’t familiar with the beautiful colorful reef and sea creatures. A unique experience at Beqa Lagoon is the Cathedral Wall shark dives. Brandon and the staff have created a relatively safe wall to take divers to see Tiger and Bull sharks. They have set up ropes for divers to safely descend/ascend to the wall. Once there, the divers kneel down behind the 3 foot rock wall. The divers masters then stand behind us to push away any sharks that might come close. Then a few dive masters go in front of us and feed the tiger sharks individually. It was very controlled, humane and safe. Then after 25 minutes, we ascended back up the ropes to the boat with the dive masters guarding us. It was a once in a lifetime experience! We were never afraid and were very appreciative of all the work put into providing the experience! The food provided was excellent with many choices each day. Freddy at the bar was the Master of Ceremonies and kept everyone laughing! We were busy with activities from the moment we arrived until the sad goodbye. You could not have a better Fiji culture experience than Beqa Lagoon!

We went for the diving but came home with extended family and appreciation of the Fijian people and culture. From my first introduction nearly theee years ago, through booking, reservations, logistics, arrival and welcom, dining, resort, spa, restaurant, office, management and dive shop. Everyone was amazing. Filo Wame Freddy (a little shy haha) Rimma, Nina Jay Nix Frazier Pee And on and on Oh, don’t forget pickles

This was definitely my favorite resort that I have ever stayed at. The very moment that the boat was coming up to the welcoming staff all the way to the "see you later" going away from the island, I could not have changed anything. The place, food, drinks, atmosphere, staff and activities were outstanding. There are so many amazing things here. If you are a diver, please do not miss out on this opportunity to see all the magical thing here. Do the shore dives because they definitely have a lot to see. I have to say that the most memorable things are the sharks and the MAGICAL coral. Got to do thanks to Philo for her amazing personality and allowing us into the village, Mari for finding the Mr. Rum bag, Freddy for bringing smiles daily, and for Junior being my knight in shining armor. If you have the opportunity to meet the managers, please do it because Nina and Jacques are phenomenal and have the best jobs in the world. We will make the 14 hour flight to come back very soon. Thank you for making it the best ever!!!!

We hosted the trip through our Scuba Shop, we had 50 people go, 39 were divers. It was AMAZING! We all thoroughly enjoyed the trip and had nothing negative to say. The island, the people, the staff, the dive team, the food, the diving, the SHARKS, the rooms, the cultural experiences and entertainment. It was ALL top notch and I definitely plan to go back!

Everything was perfect for a once in a lifetime adventure.
