At first, arriving at Waidroka was a bit overwhelming—my friend and I had just endured a very long car ride, and as soon as we walked in, we were met with a flurry of questions and introductions. While we understood why, it was just a bit much after a long journey. However, once we got to our room and settled in, everything changed for the better!

The staff at Waidroka are truly exceptional. One of my favorite things that I didn’t expect to love was their family-style dining setup. You end up meeting and bonding with everyone staying there, sharing stories about your day over meals. It created a lovely, friendly atmosphere, and I genuinely looked forward to every mealtime.

We were there primarily for diving, and wow—what a treat! The diving is stunning. Jamie and Grant, the incredible dive instructors, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and more. While we weren’t surfers, we occasionally joined the surf boat for a cruise or even a dive and surf combo trip. Tim, the surf guide, was fantastic—whether on the water or challenging us to pool matches (he beat us almost every time, but we were able to get in a few wins!). His jokes, even when we heard them multiple times, were always funny, and how he still laughed at his own jokes made them better.

Rosie, the resort's yogi, was the kindest, most loving person we met. In the nearly two months we stayed, Waidroka truly became a second home for us, and we became close friends with every single staff member. Mr. Mark and Pointy, who work on the grounds, were always so kind, offering fresh coconuts every time they saw us and even inviting us to their village for a wonderful experience.

Everyone at Waidroka—from the grounds crew to the general managers, who by the end of our stay were calling us their “children”—is so warm and welcoming. The staff genuinely love their jobs, and it shows in everything they do.

If I had one tiny complaint, it’s the mosquitoes—bring bug spray because you're in the rainforest, and there are lots of them! Another thing to keep in mind is that the water for the shower, sink, and toilet is straight from the river, so it can get a little murky, especially after rain. But these minor inconveniences are nothing compared to the overall experience.

The only Wi-Fi is in the main house, which could be slightly inconvenient, but it also gave us a chance to truly disconnect and enjoy the environment. If you're someone who likes to explore outside the resort, keep in mind that Waidroka is quite remote, so it can be challenging to get off property.

But honestly, the love and warmth you’ll experience at Waidroka makes it all worth it. We were there for two months, and I wouldn't trade the memories or friendships we made for anything. Highly recommend this place if you want a unique, beautiful, and welcoming experience!

Absolutely Amazing Stay at Waidroka Bay Resort!

Waidroka was exactly what I was looking for - beautiful, peaceful views, yummy food, a lovely mangrove tour, diving and freediving, and free yoga. The yoga was honestly the best guided yoga I've ever had, and I walked away feeling refreshed and ready to start a very busy month. 

Stay at this location if you're looking for the seclusion of a beautiful rainforest and ocean views. The staff were amazing and I had lots of good conversations - the other guests were also lovely to chat with. 

I'd stay here again any time!

Chill Oasis

My wife and I started our journey to Fiji here to surf and dive on our honeymoon, and we are so happy we did. Coming here depends on what you are looking for in a vacation - we love adventure (surfing, diving, fishing) all of which was provided and exceeded our expectations

Diving - Jamie and Grant are so fun to go out in the water with, extremely knowledgeable about the area and all the species. The reefs are like something you see on TV, untouched and so healthy with incredible marine life. The shark dive is a MUST and they will make sure you feel comfortable the entire time. 

Surf- Tim knows all the waves like the back of his hand. Depending on swell direction, wind, tide, he will make sure you find a wave. he will give you all the tools you need to get incredible waves. He will put you in the perfect take off spots, and take you surfing as much as your heart desires or your arms can handle. The man has decades of stories to tell from his own adventures so make sure to get to know him even if you’re not there to surf. 

Broader staff - everyone is amazing. It truly is a family there and when you are there the local staff, resort managers, owner (Boris), boat captains will make you feel like a part of their family. 

Every night after a day of activities we all sit down for family dinner, play pool, drink beers, chat for hours. Waidroka is like a mini paradise in the jungle, empty surf line ups, pure tranquility. The resort is designed to fully detach from one’s busy life and truly live in the moment. We have nothing bad to say about the place and can’t wait to return.

Paradise on the Fijian coral coast

Very friendly staff and other guests remote location but lots of activities, including diving and surfing and snorkeling. Food from the resort is pricy so recommend buying some snacks to skip some meals if on a budget. Room I stayed was basic but had everything I needed and was spacious there was a mini fridge in room to keep my snacks. Pool is good, though I didn’t go he diving sounded great and has been highly recommended.

Relaxing accommodation plenty of activities

Our family of 6 - kids 16, 14, 13, 11 - had a fantastic 5 day stay.
Up to two daily boat trips out to the reef to surf kept the teenagers happy.
Thoroughly enjoyed a day trip along the river to a remote village and swim in a pristine waterfall followed by river tubing.
The ultimate winner hands down was the diving - Ciara and Gary headed up the PADI team - their calm and supportive presence and reassuring planning was welcomed by the younger kids (and us parents). Diving is well catered for all levels and ability - and daring. Everyone was thoroughly satisfied. A great diving resort our family will definitely be returning to in the future.

Safe, great diving

What an amazing place and wonderful staff.  Really.  Besides access to the best surf, it's a crossover crowd with divers from all over the world who make for just a fun and cool interplay.  But tying this all together with the highest quality management, their genuine care, the natural beauty, and Fijian friendliness and culture all helped make my stay here a 10 out of 10.  Yeah, I ended up extending my stay, which was accommodated with grace and no increase in the rate.     

Best trip in 20 years - from a guy who had to get pages added to my passport at one point.  

The diving was fantastic, well because it is Fiji! But what made our diving experience above and beyond was the dive crew. Sem, Gary, Ciara, and Captains Jaro and Jim were not just skilled but they were funny, friendly, and always happy even when lugging our heavy dive equipment around. And the food! Ample choices for breakfast and lunch and a 3 course dinner every night. We dove, swam, relaxed, had massages, met every evening for a new drink of the day at happy hour and even participated in a Cava ceremony. For the 4 of us it was a dream vacation come true...

Diving and Dining in Waidroka

This place! I cannot say enough great things! I booked through a 3rd party dive agency. Paid extra for solo. My room was adequate but a climb from the desk. When I had issues w/ my room, I was moved to a cabana. Amazing! Meals great, communal dining enabled great connections.  Diving, and dive staff beyond expectations. Definitely going back!

Best Dive vacation ever!

This was our second stay at Waidroka and we loved it.  It is the perfect spot for a scuba diving wife and a surfing husband.  New managers Simon and Kelly are doing a bang up job running the place and are busy making improvements to the property every day.  

Perfect for Dvers and Surfers

Great staff, food, and diving.  Every detail taken care of, very professional! Sem and Dee are a great combination, loved every dive with them! The house staff and cooks are amazing!  Thank you Boris for your hospitality
