I visited Viani Bay Resort in November and went diving with them. Everything - from communication in advance to check-out and getting back to the Airport on Taveuni - went super smooth. Jobe and Marina, and especially their local Team, are absolutely fantastic people and they welcomed me warmly to their little slice of paradise 🌴 The food is outstanding, I was welcomed to the afternoon Kava ceremony and it was delightful to explore the bay on foot and in the water 🤿 from the Resort. I hope to be back to spend more time with the Viani Bay Resort Team, and see more of the Rainbow Reef and their Bay!

Thank you so much for this beautiful review. It means a lot to us to hear that you enjoyed our down-to-earth, authentic place with high-end local food and comfortable accommodation. The location is indeed a slice of paradise, in the heart of the famous Rainbow Reef with its abundant marine life. It warms our hearts when guests join our conservation initiatives like the coral restoration. Sota tale - hoping to see you back one day.

Viani bay resort dive academy is a boutique dive resort catering to the individual diver. They limit their three small dive boats to four divers per boat each with its own dive master. This insures you are going to get a good picture of the things the dive master finds (This is far cry from some of the Taveuni resorts boats you will see bringing 30 divers to the reefs). The bay that the resort is situated in allows for a 15 minute boat ride to most Taveuni dives with the longest being the famous “White Wall” which they are the only outfit to do night dives at. The reefs are extremely colorful both in terms of soft corals and fish varieties. They do service divers from yachts that will anchor themselves in their bay and they only have a few bungalows for a limited number of land based guests all of which have a front porch with an ocean view along with a beach and a grassy area perfect for yoga and lazing in the sun. The bay itself has a house reef for shore diving, kayaking, paddle boarding or snorkeling if you would choose. Their food is farm to table and is excellent! They utilize the best of local spices and dishes. The lunch is generally vegetarian (except when the locals catch a lot of fish) but even if you are not one - you have never had vegetarian food like this and will love it. Dinner will be fish, chicken or lamb cooked in some type of local way. They are always feeding you cake and snacks in between dives and have a happy hour in the afternoon once the diving is done. Their WiFi is sufficient to get stuff done. This is a hidden dive resort gem - book it before it becomes too popular and you are stuck diving the “White Wall” with 30 other diver on your boat.

Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the intimate, eco-friendly dive experience we’re passionate about providing here at Viani Bay. You captured so many things we’re proud of, from our small dive groups with dedicated dive masters to the fresh, farm-to-table meals we love creating for our guests. Thank you also for sharing some of your beautiful footage above and below the water. Just a quick note – the White Wall is actually our closest dive site, allowing us to access it almost every day! We’re also grateful you noticed our unique option for night dives there—it’s truly a magical experience. We’re so happy that you found our resort a hidden gem, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more incredible dives and cultural experiences. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and safe travels until next time!

We just got back after a day snorkeling trip with Dive Academy Fiji. We are a young family with children aged 2 and 7. The team at Viani Bay Resort is amazing. Even though we were only there for the day, we were treated like family. Snorkeling the rainbow reef was amazing even though it was a cloudy day. Tumo, the guide, was amazing and patient with my kids. The skipper, restaurant staff, marine biologist and every single staff treated us with kindness. We would love to return to this resort and spend few nights there

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted that you and your family had such a wonderful time snorkeling the Rainbow Reef, a truly pristine marine ecosystem. Tomu and the rest of our team really enjoyed guiding your little ones. We're also glad you booked the tour to visit our coral and giant clam nursery here in the bay. It’s great to hear that our safety measures, hospitality, and food options met your needs. We’d love to welcome you back for a longer stay so you can experience even more of what Viani Bay has to offer. Enjoy the rest of your Savusavu holiday, and we hope to see you again soon! 😊🌊

Einfach wunderschön! Ich hab meinen Aufenthalt hier sehr genossen. Alles hat gestimmt! Die Lage ist super: direkt in der Nähe der White Wall und dem Rainbow Reef, sowie anderen wunderschönen Tauchplätzen. Das ganze Team war super freundlich, zuvorkommend und warmherzig. Das Essen war einfach grandios: super leckere, frische und abwechslungsreiche local Gerichte 10/10. Die Bungalows sind so gemütlich, sauber und man hat alles was man braucht! Ich bin so fasziniert davon, wie Marina und ihr Geschäftspartner das Alles aus dem Nichts aufgebaut haben & würde definitiv wieder kommen! Danke für diesen wunderschönen Aufenthalt🫶🏻

Vielen Dank fuer deinen herzlichen Review. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass es dir so gut bei uns gefallen hat. Von unserem oekologisch gebauten Bungalows bis zum Essen, das von unseren Chefs liebevoll mit lokalen, saisonalen Zutaten frisch zubereitet wird. Es war wunderbar, dir unsere intakte Unterwasserwelt zu zeigen. Danke auch, dass du an unserem Korallenprogramm teilgenommen hast. Ganz herzliche Grüsse von unserem gesamten Team.

We stayed at this beautiful resort for 3 days and should have stayed longer. Marina and her team made us as comfortable as possible. The diving was superb and Ian our dive guide was very knowledgeable and just fun. It is a soft coral heaven for divers. The food was always freshly cooked local food and very good. They even made a birthday cake for my husband and we had a little celebration. It is very impressive what the team achieved in this bay and how they include the community and make a big impact there. We try to come back!

Our weeklong stay at Marina's diving station in January 2023 was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm that set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Our diving adventures were nothing short of spectacular. Under the expert guidance of Marina and her team, we completed our Advanced Open Water Diver certification and embarked on eight breathtaking diving excursions. Exploring wonders like the coral garden and the inspiring white wall left us in awe of the beauty beneath the waves. The meticulous instructions provided beforehand, and the insightful debriefings afterward not only enhanced our technical skills but also deepened our appreciation for the Southern Pacific's marine biodiversity. Engaging in the coral project was a highlight of our trip, allowing us to contribute to ongoing scientific efforts led by the University of Fiji. Marina's passion for empowering local communities and fostering capacity building left a lasting impression on us. Her dedication serves as an inspiration, transcending cultural boundaries and enriching the experience for visitors like us. Beyond the diving, the atmosphere at the station was simply heavenly. The entire team's dedication and enthusiasm were palpable, creating a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved for their unwavering commitment and positivity. While our time here may have come to an end for now, the memories we've made will stay with us forever. We wish Marina and her team all the best in their future endeavours, and though the journey back may be long, we harbour hopes of returning one day to relive this extraordinary adventure.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this beautiful and detailed review. It is deeply rewarding for us to hear that all the little details, where we try to make a difference are being seen and appreciated. We are not a typical resort bubble: the accommodation is rustic, yet with all the required comfort. The food is local, yet with an upmarket twist and stylish presentation. Our local, in-house trained team warm-heartedly welcome guests and treat them like family. Your appreciation fills our team with pride. The Rainbow Reef at our door front ranks amongst the top 10 dive destinations in the world. Diving the 30 diverse sites requires careful timing: soft corals and marine life strive with color and life in the currents - not so much without. We take pride in selecting the right sites at the right time to ensure unforgettable dive experiences for our guests. Our proximity to the reef and taking only 4 divers per boat allows more flexible timing and site selection. It was our great pleasure to share this pristine underwater world with you. Thank you also for joining in our coral restoration project. We hired alocal marine biologist to help advance our efforts. Hoping to see you both back one day - we know it is a long way from Germany.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for this kind review. I will pass it on to Bui and I know already that your compliments will bring a big smile on her face. I am happy that we could show you some of the highlights of the Rainbow Reef. We had the Great White Wall by ourselves, the benefit of being so close and thus have more date/time options available for this specific site. Definitely hoping to seeing you back here and in the oceans of the world

This is probably the nicest place I have ever stayed. Marina and her team offer intimate hospitality and take extremely good care of their guests. I arrived at Vianney Bay Resort by their boat and was greeted at the beach with fresh coconut milk and a homemade lei. You can hear lapping waves while falling asleep and can be woken up at 4 AM by the beautiful sound of a 30 second handdrum call. At 5 PM I had the pleasure of hearing singing from villagers. The meals were craftily procured by Nesi (possibly the world's greatest chef) and others. Everything, from the salt (thanks to Jone) to the jam, are homemade and the food is some of the best I have eaten in my life. I had the pleasure of meeting other travelers from around the world and got to trade scuba diving secrets. The diving at Rainbow Reef was incredible. The bungalows are well appointed and cozy. Sometimes the locals came to share their music and kava. Marina is lovely and accommodating. The flora and fauna of the grounds are natural and not overrun with development as in other resorts. It's more of an ecoresort. All in all, Marina and the Fiji Dive Academy team offer their guests unbeatable service, food, diving, and accommodations.

Thank you so much for sharing your holiday experience with us at Viani Bay Resort and Dive Academy Fiji. It was an absolute pleasure having you stay with us. We're thrilled to hear that you found it to be one of the nicest places you've ever stayed. It makes our day to hear that the concept of a private dive resort that is truly embedded in the local community is so highly appreciated. Of course you can simply enjoy the beach, garden, diving, etc. Yet, there is also the option of getting connected to the people and their culture and it is great to hear that this was exactly what you were looking for. Your kind words about our cozy bungalows and the natural surroundings mean a lot to us. We strive to maintain a balance between comfort and preserving the natural beauty of our surroundings by sourcing most of our timber locally and replanting accordingly. Our chefs use local ingredients for their culinary Fijian creations and cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other diets. It's wonderful to hear that you found the food to be some of the best you've ever eaten! Every guest helps us to maintain and expand our conservation and community initiatives, like the coral and giant clam nursery, seaweed farm, scuba-scholarship program, or helping the youth by sponsoring the Ucunivatu Rugby Club. The location in the center of the world-famous Rainbow Reef is a blessing that we love to share with our guests, and we are forever grateful for the warm welcome and support of the Viani Bay community. We are hoping you will come back one day and explore even more of the Rainbow Reef and nearby areas.

Hope the tide will bring you in again one day.

We stayed for 9 nights at Viani Bay Resort - and would have loved to stay longer :) The bay is beautiful and the food is just yummy (lots of vegetarian/vegan choices, too). We miss it already! Marina, Jone and their staff make you feel at home. Thank you! The diving and accomodation is very personal by design and the Rainbow Reef is just wonderful. Totally recommending the boat trip to Rabi island, beautiful reef with a chance to see mantas and have a beach BBQ for lunch. We would love to come back!

Thank you, Julie, for sharing your wonderful review of your dive holiday with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the diving experiences and felt like 9 days weren’t enough. It's always bittersweet to say goodbye to guests who feel like friends, and we hope to welcome you back soon. We're glad you enjoyed the Manta snorkeling trip to Rabi Island – it's one of our favorites too. It is rewarding to hear that our concept resonated with you. Being small by design means that we can tailor our services at the resort and when diving with only four dive guests per boat. Being the closest dive operation to the Rainbow Reef, only 5 boat minutes from the Great White Wall, gives the flexibility to adapt the dive schedule to the local conditions. An important detail as half an hour makes all the difference between a great and an average dive given the changing tides and currents. Your kind words about our Fijian cuisine mean a lot to our chefs. We hope you'll return soon to further indulge in Fijian culture, food, and diving on the Rainbow Reef and beyond.

We feel lucky to stay in the Viani Bay Resort for 5 days before the new year. The place is very tranquil and the bungalow is very comfortable to live in. During the stay, the team took care of us to their best to make us comfortable. Highly recommended to anyone who loves authentic Fijian experience and diving.

Thank you so much Eric for your wonderful review, and for visiting when Fiji just opened after the Covid-19 epidemic. We're thrilled that you found our resort tranquil and our bungalows comfortable. Our team was eager to finally welcoming guests again and it makes our day to hear that you loved our personalized services. It was our greatest pleasure to treat you to our delicious Fijian cuisine and show you the beautiful Rainbow Reef with its abundant underwater world. A big vinaka vakalevu from the whole team and we hope to see you again. Maybe next time, we can celebrate the New Year together or you bring family and friends and book the whole resort, which now has 3 accommodations, a larger dining area and other new amenities.

Das liebevoll geführte Viani Bay Resort ist ein kleines Juwel fernab von Fijis Massentourismus. Es besteht aus zwei Bungalows, jeweils mit einem großen Bett, Veranda und Aussenbadezimmer. Die resorteigene Tauchbasis „Dive Academy Fiji“ empfehlen wir ebenfalls wärmstens, haben das in einer anderen Bewertung verfasst. Von der ersten Kontaktaufnahme per eMail bis zur Abreise verlief alles vorbildlich. Da wir eine Woche tauchen wollten hatte uns Marina ein „all inclusive“ Angebot erstellt. Wir wurden am Flughafen auf Taveuni von einem Transfer abgeholt und zum Boot gefahren, welches uns dann quer über das Rainbow Reef zum Resort gebracht hat. Im Resort selber fehlte es an nichts. Beginnend mit einem klasse Frühstück mit selbstgebackenem Brot, hausgemachter Marmelade und Eierspeisen, einem Snack mit leckerem Kaffee zwischen den Tauchgängen serviert am Strand, einem Mittagessen, Kaffee & Kuchen am Nachmittag und einem leckeren Abendessen. Immer war der Tisch wunderbar dekoriert und eingedeckt. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team um Marina. Vinaka! Wir können dieses Resort jedem empfehlen der eine entspannte Zeit mit traumhaften Tauchgängen erleben möchte. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen und reisen entschleunigt und gut erholt weiter.

Ganz herzlichen Dank fuer diesen tollen Review. Es freut uns, dass Ihr Euch von Anfang bis Ende so wunderbar betreut gefühlt habt. Genau so soll es ja sein, denn der Urlaub beginnt mit der Planung. Unser Koechinnen freuen sich sehr ueber das Lob zu unseren Mahlzeiten und der liebevollen Tischdekoration. Inzwischen haben wir nochmal eine Schippe draufgelegt und koennen mit guten Gewissen sagen, dass wir zum wohl besten fidschianischen Restaurant in der Gegend geworden sind. Das Rainbow Reef gehoert zu den besten Tauchgebieten der Welt. Um die volle Schönheit zu erfahren, passen wir die Tauchgaenge den aktuellen Stroemungs- und Windverhaeltnissen an. Es ist schoen zu hoeren, dass wir Euch ein einmaliges Tauchererlebnis bieten konnten. Inzwischen haben wir noch eine weitere Lodge fuer Gaeste, 3 Boote fuer je 4 Tauchgäste, das Restaurant wurde mit einer 50qm überdachten Veranda erweitert, ... und auch sonst hat sich einiges getan. Die private und persönliche Atmosphäre ist geblieben. Vielleicht habt Ihr irgendwann mal wieder die Gelegenheit, den Weg zu uns zu machen. Wir würden uns riesig freuen, Euch wiederzusehen.
