Stell dir vor, du bist Anfang 30, hast Jahre lang auf diese Reise gespart, fliegst von Deutschland ans andere Ende der Welt, willst in Taveuni dein Finale am Rainbow Reef haben, zahlst 3000FJD für die 4 Tauchgänge und die Unterkunft bei der Tauchschule, bist der einzige Gast und hast super Wetterbedingungen und kommst dann nach Hause ohne die White Wall oder Rainbow‘s End gesehen zu haben. Tauchgänge hatten sehr viel pendeln zwischen 12 und 18 Meter, es fehlte die Ruhe, die man sonst so beim Tauchen genießt. Sein wichtigstes Anliegen war nicht ein schöner Tauchgang, sondern auf die Korrektheit zu achten. Am Ende hat der Divemaster den ersten Tauchgang nach 55 Minuten beendet (bei mir waren noch 90 Bar im Tank, kein Wunder, wenn man so nah an der Oberfläche bleibt). Mein Highlight war die Purple Corner und ein Lion fish. Nach dem Südpass in Fakarava und dem Bullshark Dive in Beqa, fühlte sich das hier an wie schnorcheln und ohne die White Wall gab es keinen Wow Moment. Pluspunkte: der Taxifahrer, der Kapitän und Ellie waren sehr nett. Bungalow war ein Bett in einem Raum mit einem Spiegel. WC ist außerhalb, alles ok, man kann aber für das Geld deutlich mehr erwarten (ist das überhaupt ein Resort??). Regen ist sehr laut auf dem Wellblechdach. Habe in einem 40€ AirBnB auf Fiji besser geschlafen. Man muss Hunde und Katzen sehr mögen, wenn man hier ist. Essen war mittelmäßig, wenn man großzügig ist. Der Koch mag es Pfefferkörner nicht zu mahlen, sondern fast ganz ins Essen zu geben und der Fisch wird gebraten, bis man nicht mehr erkennt, dass es Fisch ist. Es kommt einem hier sehr so vor, als würden sie nur Geld machen wollen. Ich wurde drei mal gefragt, ob ich nicht einen dritten Tauchgang am Tag machen will. Außerdem wurde gesagt Essen und Drinks sind inklusive außer Alkohol und dann habe ich am Ende eine Rechnung für Saft bekommen. 4% Aufschlag für Kartenzahlung sagt eigentlich schon alles. Die wollen einen melken, es geht ihnen überhaupt nicht um die Kunden, sondern nur um deren Geld. Alles in allem bin ich sehr enttäuscht. Ich habe vorab gesagt, dass ich nur den N1 OWD Schein habe und mir wurde gesagt, das sei kein Problem. Hätte ich einem Local 100FJD in die Hand gedrückt mich zur White Wall zu fahren und wäre freediven gegangen, hätte ich für ein dreizigstel des Geldes mehr gesehen. Wenn man nicht herkommt wegen des Tauchens, frage ich mich, was man hier will, denn es gibt bei dieser Unterkunft keine Aktivität außer am Wasser auf einem Baumstumpf zu sitzen (kein richtiger Strand) und von Mosquitos gegessen zu werden und es ist maßlos überteuert!

Danke für Deinen Review. Ich weiss ehrlich gesagt nicht so recht, wie ich darauf antworten soll – vor allem, weil vor Ort alles positiv war: Lob für das Tauchen, das Essen und den Aufenthalt. Jeder einzelne im Team ist irritiert. Am besten stelle ich hier ein paar Fakten klar, damit zukünftige Gäste ein vollständiges Bild bekommen:
Du hast vier Tauchplätze am Rainbow Reef besucht, die entsprechend der Gezeiten und Strömungen ausgewählt wurden. Weichkorallen öffnen und ernähren sich nur unter den richtigen Bedingungen. Eine N1-Zertifizierung ist für die meisten Plätze kein Problem, da viele von ihnen flach liegen. Rainbow City ist der flache Abschnitt der Great White Wall, den Du bis 20 m betaucht hast – inklusive beider Swim-throughs, dem oberen Teil der Steilwand mit weißen Weichkorallen und dem farbenfrohen Riffplateau.
Die tieferen Bereiche der Great White Wall erfordern eine höhere Tauchausbildung sowie geeignete Bedingungen, um sie sicher zu betauchen. Mit rund 30 m Tiefe liegen sie zudem außerhalb der freizeitmäßigen Apnoe-Grenzen.
Rainbow’s End ist ein Riff mit sandigem Grund auf 20 m. Rund um den Vollmond ist dieser Platz mit starken Strömungen und Abwärtsströmungen selbst für erfahrene Taucher herausfordernd.
Sicherheit steht bei uns stets an erster Stelle. Gleichzeitig wählen wir die bestmöglichen Plätze des Tages und berücksichtigen individuelle Wünsche – sofern diese geäußert werden und die Bedingungen dies sicher zulassen. In Deinem Fall waren dies Nuku, Zoo, Purple Corner und Rainbow City.

Dein Paket von knapp unter 3.000 FJD / ca. 1.100 Euro umfasste:
– 3 Nächte in einem Bungalow direkt am Meer
– Frühstück, 2-Gänge-Mittagessen und 3-Gänge-Abendessen
– Snacks zwischen den Tauchgängen sowie nachmittags Kuchen mit Kaffee/Tee
– Trinkwasser den ganzen Tag über
– Alle Tauchgänge
– Komplette Ausrüstung
– Taxi- und Boottransfers
Unsere schriftliche Kommunikation listete alle Inklusivleistungen klar auf. Säfte und Softdrinks gehören nicht dazu. Die 4% Kartengebühr ist ein von der Bank erhobener Zuschlag und wird nicht von uns festgelegt.
Alle Preise wurden im Voraus transparent kommuniziert, und es wurden keine Leistungen berechnet, die nicht zuvor angegeben waren.

Kajaks und Stand-Up-Paddleboards stehen kostenfrei zur Verfügung. Geführte und ungeführte Wanderungen sind weitere Aktivitäten am Nachmittag. Während des Vollmonds ist bei Hochwasser weniger Strandfläche – bei Niedrigwasser entsprechend mehr – verfügbar.

Unsere Lage ist bewusst abgelegen und nur per Boot erreichbar; viele Gäste schätzen genau diese besondere Umgebung, den direkten Zugang zum Rainbow Reef und die fehlenden Menschenmassen.

Die Bungalows sind aus einheimischem Holz gebaut und ausgestattet mit einem Kingsize-Bett mit Comfort-Matratze, Moskitonetz, Tisch, Kommode und Kleiderständer. Jeder Bungalow verfügt über eine überdachte Veranda mit Liegestühlen und Hängematte sowie ein eigenes Bad mit Aussen-Dusche. Dies entspricht genau den Beschreibungen und unserem nachhaltigen Eco-Resort-Konzept.

Bezüglich der Mahlzeiten servieren wir frisch zubereitete, fijianisch inspirierte Gerichte. Hättest Du während Deines Aufenthalts Vorlieben oder Wünsche geäußert, hätte unsere Köchin diese gern berücksichtigt oder Alternativen angeboten.

Alle Anliegen, die vor Ort geäußert werden, werden von unserem Team umgehend behandelt. Gerne beantworten wir auch im Vorfeld alle Fragen unserer Gäste.

Wir danken Dir für das Feedback und wünschen Dir für Deine weiteren Reisen alles Gute.

Viani Bay is a truly special place that genuinely represents the heart of Fijian culture and community. Set in a beautiful landscape with incredible diving, lush vegetation and abundant wildlife, it feels untouched and authentic. It feels like I experienced Fijian food, language, culture and way of life here in a way I couldn’t at other resorts. The entire dive and staff team are the soul of this place, each with beautifully unique personalities and the kindest spirits. Their deep respect for the land and animals shines through in every aspect of what they do. In short; I feel incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon Viani Bay

Thank you so much for this beautiful review, Esme and enjoying the quiet, untouched atmosphere of Viani Bay, along with the genuine Fijian warmth and authentic experience of our culture, community, and food. Our aim has always been to offer an eco-friendly, community-connected stay with an approachable team — while still ensuring comfort, great food, and incredible dives.
The reefs here truly are remarkably intact and we are blessed to have this at our door step. Congratulations again on your PADI Open Water certification! The ocean clearly loves you — a manta ray and an eagle ray appearing at the Cabbage Patch is a very rare treat.
Your feedback is incredibly rewarding and uplifting for all of us.
Thank you again for choosing to stay and dive with us. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We had an amazing stay at Viani bay and I’ve already recommended it to friends and family. Marina and her team are fantastic and they really looked after us. The accommodation was spotless with daily Bure cleaning and even the option of laundry, the resort is beautiful and a very relaxing environment. I accidentally broke our shower and it was fixed immediately after we came back from scuba diving despite the fact that I hadn’t got the chance to tell anyone yet - a reflection of how attentive and detail orientated the staff are. The cooking was fabulous with a lovely mix of freshly prepared dishes for lunch and dinner, plus two daily cakes which were delightful post scuba. We did the open water course and were taught by both Marina and Ellie who were fabulous instructors and we felt very safe diving with them. The rainbow reef is an amazing place and we saw so many beautiful fish, sharks, and other marine life. Our diving experience was made even better with the care and effort of the wider dive team who diligently set up and cleaned our equipment and made everything very low hassle. It’s clear that the lodge really cares for the local environment and makes an effort to ensure practices are sustainable and support the local economy. A lot of the dive staff are locals on scholarships and are being taught by Marina herself. The hotel also sponsors the neighbouring school rugby team and supported the build of a desalination plant for the school. We even got the chance to partake in coral planting to restore one of the reefs at the local nursery. If all this wasn’t enough Marina also helped us organise a driver for our day of checkout so we could see the main sites on Taveuni and lent us towels so we could enjoy the natural waterslide. We would recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone - it was an incredibly memorable experience and we would love to return.

Thank you so much for your lovely words and for recommending us to your friends and family. It was such fun teaching you to dive and sharing the magic of the Rainbow Reef — including the White Wall once you were certified! The team loved hearing your kind feedback, especially the chefs about the meals and cakes. We’re so grateful for guests like you who care about the same things we do — the ocean, the people, and making a difference while having fun along the way. 🌺 Cannot wait to see you back - oh, and thank you for taking the dogs for a walk :-)

This resort is great the food is amazing and the people are friendly. It's 10 minutes from rainbow reef and the bay is beautiful. The only thing that bothered us is the noise. It's not easy to sleep with dogs barking all the time and always someone talking or shouting around your bungalow.
الرد من Viani Bay Resort 2025.09.10
Bula Marco, thanks so much for your kind words about the food, the bay, and our team. Sorry to hear the nights felt a bit noisy for you — usually it’s very quiet here after dinner when the team heads home, apart from the occasional bark if the dogs sense something. We’ll keep an ear out to make sure it stays as peaceful as possible. 🌺

We had an amazing time staying at the Viani Bay Resort, our launch pad for diving the Rainbow Reef with Dive Academy Fiji! The eco-lodge has 3 cabins, which makes it the perfect tropical escape. We stayed for 7 nights, and every meal was delicious and made with locally-sourced ingredients. Since it is a set menu, just let Marina know ahead of time if there are foods you do not prefer, she is extremely accommodating! We dove 3 times per day and got our Advanced Diver and Enriched Air PADI certifications there, which made this location incredible. It is only 10-15 minutes on the boat to get to the dive sites, and we would come back to shore for tea and snacks between dives since it was so close! Also, this is the only resort with a dive shop that you can dive the famous Great White Wall at night - which is truly an incredible experience! The wonderful humans that we got to interact with every day made this stay extra special. Marina has high standards for safety and hospitality, which made us feel very comfortable as her guests. Shoutout to Meto, Paula, Tom, Mathew, Jone, Junior, Laisa, and Ben for the laughs and for making us feel like family! If you're looking for an off-grid slice of paradise, you found it here at Viani Bay Resort. Vinaka vaka levu, friends!

Thank you so much for your lovely words. We are happy that we could make you happy and create an atmosphere of connection and friendship. It means a lot that you noticed the effort behind the dive planning, our meals and how we plan around each guest’s preferences. Your laughter and good vibes were contagious — the team (especially Meto, Paula, Tom, Mathew, Jone, Junior, Laisa, and Ben) still talk about the fun times shared. We all hope to see you again one day.

My husband and I stayed here for a part of our Honeymoon trip to Fiji, and if we could do it all over again, we may have skipped the other places we went to altogether! We had an incredible, life-changing experience from the absolutely delicious food, to the snorkeling (we’re both total beginners), and the staff (Tom, Matthew, Junior and Lysa, among others were patient and helpful and brought us to incredible spots!) to the peace, privacy, safety, and fun that we had together in this romantic slice of paradise. Marina and her staff were absolutely wonderful, and we felt like a part of the family she has built so quickly that I know for a fact “Bula!” will always bring a warm smile to my face. As a bonus, though perhaps we got lucky, what a fascinating and wonderful group of interesting people that come and go through here- the guests that the coral reefs attract are at least as fun and cool as the fish. :) If your adventures and travels bring you to Taveuni, then just know that the Fiji Dive School Resort is a beautiful gem hidden just across the water, and your trip will be far better for even a single day spent there! The resort also has a salt house where they prepare and create some of the freshest and most delicious sea salt / spice mixes you will ever have! We were so fortunate to be able to take home a dozen or so packages as incredible souvenirs for our friends and family. In addition, every single dessert they made was one of the best I've ever had! I can’t say enough about how my husband and I will never forget our experience here. There were moments that the weather was so perfect, or the view was so breathtaking, or the snorkeling and the fish were so amazing that it felt straight out of a movie or TV show. We called it our own personal Love Island!

Vinaka vakalevu from your 'personal love island' for spending part of your honeymoon with us — what a joy to share those days with you both! We loved seeing you jump into snorkeling as beginners and discover the reef with such excitement. The team had a great time showing you around, and it makes us happy to know you felt at home and part of the family here. Hearing that “Bula!” will always bring a smile to your face is the best gift for us. We’ll be thinking of you when the next dessert comes out of the kitchen.

This Is Heaven's Reference Point (Not Even Joking). Absolutely, amazing, heartfelt experience. Marina, Johnny and the crew (diving + restaurant) went above and beyond. The bungalow, food, diving planning and preparation was perfect. I have done a lot of diving in different areas and this is one of the best low-key, sustainable, friendly resorts I have been too. I already miss the gang and rested assured to them that I will be back in 2026. Rainbow reef and the White Wall are close by.

Vinaka vakalevu for such an incredible review! We’re truly humbled and so happy you enjoyed every moment. The Rainbow Reef and White Wall are treasures we never take for granted, and sharing them in a low-key, sustainable way is what we love most. We can’t wait to welcome you back in 2026 — the gang will be here waiting!

Abbiamo soggiornato per circa una settimana. La baia è caratteristica, la vegetazione rigogliosa e l'isola verdissima. Il clima del resort è molto famigliare, il cibo a km zero, tipico e locale. Gli ospiti sono pochissimi e i pasti sono serviti ad un'unica tavolata: è un modo per conoscere altre persone provenienti da tutto il mondo e per socializzare. Questo è apprezzabile e quasi unico nella nostra esperienza. Sebbene il famoso Rainbow Reef sia a pochi minuti di barca, la barriera di fronte al resort è piuttosto deludente e pure la visibilitá dell'acqua. Per questo motivo non riesco a dare un voto complessivo che vada oltre le 3 stelle. Per il resto, in complesso il resort è molto tranquillo e invita al riposo; oltre agli uomini, sono presenti diversi cani (e un gatto) che accompagnano gli ospiti ovunque chiedendo in cambio quante più carezze possibili. Gli alloggi sono semplici ma caratteristici, con un patio apprezzabile e vista mare. Chi è abituato alle comodità, deve metterle da parte: la doccia ha acqua al massimo tiepida, niente phon perché l'energia elettrica disponibile è troppo poca, luce fioca all'interno della casa... Il personale è molto gentile e accanto alla struttura c'è un scuola piena di allegri bambini: anche questa, a mio avviso, è una nota positiva che dà al resort un tocco di autenticità fijiana.

Vinaka vakalevu for your thoughtful review. We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful bay, family-style dining, our friendly team — and of course the dogs and cat who love to be part of the fun!
Most guests come for the world-famous Rainbow Reef just minutes away, and we’re happy you joined some excursions there. We understand the shore reef may not always impress, as visibility changes with the tides. Still, it holds around 100 coral species and plenty of marine life, with other reefs in the bay to explore by kayak or paddleboard.
Our bungalows are simple and solar-powered by choice: cozy lights with an extra lamp, warm showers, and no high-consumption appliances — balanced with deluxe mattresses, organic cotton bedding, and natural coconut soap. It’s all part of our commitment to sustainability.
Thank you again for sharing your experience and for supporting our community and conservation projects through your stay.

Our FAVORITE vacation spot. The serenity is all encompassing here, and it feels like time stops. This is an outstanding experience of local Fijian hospitality and modern immaculate attention to detail. From the private outdoor shower to the romantic room views and comfortable and clean details, Marina and get staff really go out of their way to ensure a wonderful visit. The food deserves a standing ovation as well! Chef Theresa and her team, as well as the experts who man the lovo (earthen oven) are culinary magicians. Matthiu, Sipa, Nen, Sarah, Junior, and the others truly define the meaning of excellent service. They also have an incredible dive team in the in-house Dive Academy Fiji and are eco-conscious and heavily involved in community and charity work. A perfect vacation, and highly recommended!

An Unforgettable Family Experience – World-Class Diving with a Personal Touch Our family of three – two adults in our 50s and our 12-year-old son – had the privilege of staying at Viani Bay Resort and diving with Dive Academy Fiji, and it was an experience we’ll remember for a lifetime. it’s small, personal, and full of heart. From the very beginning, communication with Marina was outstanding. Warm, professional, and incredibly helpful, she ensured everything was seamless before we even arrived. Once there, we were immediately struck by the welcoming atmosphere and the intimate, personalised, deeply genuine nature of the resort. The views are incredible. The accommodation is authentic and beautiful. As the closest dive operator to the famous Rainbow Reef, Dive Academy offers a rare opportunity to explore some of the world’s best dive sites with minimal travel time. Being able to return to the resort between dives for surface intervals was a true luxury – relaxing, comfortable, and a much more enjoyable experience than staying out on the boat between dives. Our diving experience as a family was a highlight. While we went out for our first dive of the day, our son took part in a Discover Scuba session with Jone. His calm, confident approach was exactly what our son needed. Our son surprisingly joined us for our second dive, and sharing that underwater adventure together was incredibly special – a true ‘forever memory.’ The dive team is exceptional. Our guide Metu was simply outstanding – highly experienced, deeply knowledgeable, and completely in tune with the environment. We dove 7 days and did the Manta Tour also. (highly recommended) The pinnacle was a night dive on the White Wall, which is only possible with Dive Academy. It was a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The entire dive team work in harmony to ensure your gear is on the boat and you are experiencing every moment while they take care of the details with true joy. A team effort that almost makes you feel a bit spoilt. Being the only two divers on the boat for us was really special. (max 4 with multiple boats if needed) We have dived all over the world and this was outstanding. We often joked how great it was zipping out to the reef earlier than all the other rather full boats from Taveuni. The culinary experience exceeded all expectations. Theresa, the chef, prepared beautifully presented Fijian-inspired meals with care and flair. Every dish felt thoughtful and nourishing. The entire service team – Ben, Sarah Mathew, Sila, Lisa, and Junior – were consistently attentive, warm, and professional. Their genuine hospitality made us feel incredibly well cared for throughout our stay. Viani Bay Resort / Dive Academy Fiji is a rare gem – combining world-class diving with heartfelt service and a boutique, luxurious but family-friendly environment. Whether you're a seasoned diver or sharing the experience with your children for the first time, there’s a sense of family here that you don’t often find in travel. The entire crew – on land and in the water – make you feel relaxed, valued, and welcomed. It's the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. We came for the diving but left with so much more. Vinaka vakalevu Viani Bay Resort– we’ll be back!

My partner and I took a chance on this off the beaten path small boutique resort and dive school, and we are thrilled we did. It was just what we needed: slow down the pace and recharge but also a dive adventure to remember. Our bungalow was charming, the food was delicious: local dishes, locally sourced. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating, and the dive team and boat captains were top notch. We dove various spots along the stunning rainbow reef with a group of no more than 4 divers with a dive instructor/guide. The reef itself is mere 10min boat ride from the sheltered beach at the resort. All dive equipment was up to date and in good working order and we were given individual attention on the dives. The rainbow reef itself is pure magic: so amazing to see a healthy reef! I actually feel refreshed after this vacation; I would go back in a heart beat! Vinaka Viani Bay Resort!

Thank you, Diana, for your wonderful review! It means a lot to us that our vision of a down-to-earth yet high-quality experience—where great food, comfortable accommodation, and exceptional diving come together—resonated with you. The Rainbow Reef is a true natural treasure, and we love nothing more than sharing its best spots with our guests, from vibrant coral gardens to night dives at the legendary Great White Wall. We’re especially happy to hear that your stay was not only an adventure but also a chance to slow down and recharge—that’s exactly what we hope to offer. With locally inspired cuisine, sustainably built Fijian-style bures, and the natural warmth of Fijian hospitality, we strive to create an experience that is as rejuvenating as it is memorable. It was a pleasure having you here, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Vinaka!
