Fiji Perfect Honeymoon

We got back from our Fijian honeymoon a little over a month ago. We wanted to let you know that we had the most wonderful time! We stayed on the main island at Waidroka Surf and Dive Resort for the first 4 nights, and we completely fell in love with that place! It was a very unique and intimate resort, and we realized that as soon as the driver drove us up really steep dirt roads to get to the resort. The staff was all really nice, and we became good friends with them in no time.The staff also upgraded us to the honeymoon bure, which was really big and cute! Ryan got plenty of surfing in, and we both went scuba diving and snorkeling. It was all really great. Plus the food was soooo amazing! They served us 3 course meals every night! And we loved everything we ate! We really loved the whole atmosphere of the small resort and didn't want to leave. After our 4 nights, we traveled back to Denarau to take the Yasawa flyer to Nanuya. It was a long boat ride, but it was amazing to see almost every island in the Yasawa's. As soon as the boat stopped at Nanuya, we knew we made the right choice by choosing that island. It was surrounded with amazing blue waters, and the bures were all hidden in the trees. We got a warm welcome from the Fijian staff, and they showed us to our Oceanfront Bure, which was incredible. While at Nanuya we did a lot more laying on the beach than at Waidroka, but we were so content to just sit and stare at the clear waters. We also did the cave dives, went scuba diving and shark diving, and did lots of snorkeling. The scuba diving and shark diving were awesome! It was so fun to be so close to the sharks and big fish and the staff made us feel really comfortable. That was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. The dinners at Nanuya were also amazing! The dinners weren't included so we were planning on just splitting them every night, but after tasting the amazing crab on the first night, we decided we didn't want to share because it was so good!

Ryan and I did a lot of research on the different Fijian islands and resorts before we made our decision to go to Waidroka and Nanuya. We wanted to get lots of diving in, as well as some lounging on a beautiful beach. We were worried about the resorts that we picked only because we had to travel a little extra to get to them. But both resorts were worth the extra traveling and I couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon.

Please especially tell Lori thank you for helping us! She did such an amazing job at giving us any details on any resort we were interested in, and I knew that she wasn't just trying to make a sale. She was very patient with us, even though we had so many questions. She made everything very easy for us, and made us feel extremely comfortable.

Thank you again for everything and we will definitely let you know when we're ready to plan another vacation!
