“More, more, more be back for sure”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

First of all, the resort which I was at, is on Vanua Levu, the Guesthouse and the bungalow (which are both different but good), are on Taveuni. BUT the resort is closest to all the diving, so this is where you want to be if you want to dive. And that was absolutely the best ever! Soft corals, colors, fish,... More

“Dolphin bay”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

Had a good look around tavenui and the immediate area and have to say I was hugely disappointed. As trip advisor ambassador I always try to be impartial and have plenty to say as I have been in dozens of countries this year alone. Dolphin bay divers is the ONLY place I found with any real feeling of joy and... More

“Well priced, well setup and well, it was a great spot”

Reviewed 5 February 2013

We spent 5 days with Dolphin Bay Divers. The diving was good and I am hard to please when it comes to reefs. The setup was professional and fun. We stayed in the jungle tents which were very good value for money and when the quality of staff and food are thrown in, this makes for a very different and... More

“Stunning diving, lovely place to stay”

Reviewed 23 January 2013

I stayed with the Dolphin Bay Divers team in October 2012 for a week and enjoyed everything about it. I stayed in a "tent" which was perfect for me, with two little beds off the floor which made it feel like a proper home of my own following dorm stays on other islands. The diving on the Rainbow Reef was... More

Vinaka vakalevu! We all loved to have you with us! Thanks for the Jungle Tent compliments as we are trying to provide an alternative to a dorm and like privacy. Safe diving! Roland More

“Brilliant diving”

Reviewed 19 January 2013

This is a good place to stay, particularly if you are into diving. There are 30 dives within a 10 minute boat ride on the Somosomo Strait, and the density and diversity of both corals and fish is amazing. We did 13 dives in the week we stayed here, including a night dive. Being fairly new to diving, it took... More

“5 star experience for 1 star money”

No idea where to begin. We booked a jungle tent, thinking it is a tent. It is - but with EVERYTHING-even turn down service at night! A very comfortable double bed, hammock, the whole nine yards.very clean,mosquito screens, closet. The food was amazing, for sure THE BEST in Fiji. There is an open kitchen with 2 great chefs. All very... More

“Nice accommodation, good diving choice, strange atmosphere”

Reviewed 21 November 2012

Good points: - Good value accommodation (especially the safari tents, which were comfortable and large) - Diving reefs are close and the resort equipment was great, the divemasters professional and accommodating as to where you wanted to go. - Right on the bay with some ok snorkelling (snorkel around to the next bay, rainbow reef resort, for slightly clearer water),...

Bula Sean and thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed the diving, food, activities and free coconut foot rub. Unfortunately you were briefed on the way to your accommodation rather than sitting down on a table and therefore you might now have heard some of the points the staff was making, however there is also always someone...

“THE place to stay for divers!”

Reviewed 15 October 2012

If you want the best dive experience Fiji can offer, this is the place for you. Too often dive shops are hesitant to take you out to the best places because they are 45-60 minutes away, they need a big group etc. etc. Disappointments are rife. No need for such worries here, as Dolphin Bay Divers is made by, and... More

“Diving in Paradise!”

From the moment when we first arrived at Dolphin Bay we fell in love with this beautiful place. We were lucky enough to arrive in the early evening, so we had our own "sunset cruise" on the transfer boat from Taveuni over to the resort and when we were there, everything was lit by candles and torches, creating an absolutely...

“That's all I want”

Though I stayed at Dolphin Bay for only three nights but I knew that this is the place where my future holiday will be. First night we stayed in the tent, it's not a small camping one as I thought. The tent is pretty big (fits a double bed and a single bed). The bedsheets pillows are clean, drinking water... More

Bula Ling, thank you so much, we really enjoyed having you here! The only problem I see with your review is that Mr. Turtle is actually Ms Turtle and her name is Lilly;-). Welcome back any time! More
