Wonderful Fiji Dive Vacation

Bula Lori,

We had a wonderful time in Fiji! Garden Island Resort was a perfect choice for us. The location for our dive spots couldn't have been any closer and our oceanfront balcony was literally feet from the water. What a great view of Somosomo Straits. The rooms were adequate and well maintained and the food was good, too. I also liked the newly renovated dining area with its wide open view of the water as well as the fruit bats hanging from the trees above! Also, like everyone says, the staff and island people were very nice, accommodating and genuinely happy. How refreshing!
The diving was amazing with all the multi-colored and shaped soft corals as well as a variety of other corals and sea life. The blue ribbon eels were beautiful and a first for me as well as the poisonous and very docile sea snakes that I'd read and heard so much about. When the currents were cranking it was also quite a ride--spread your arms and fly underwater!

The island itself with the waterfalls, rivers, greenery, hills, villages and the people was absolutely something special. Combining the land and sea life all together made for an unforgettable trip by all.

Thanks for all your help in planning this trip for us, Lori.
