Summer Kickoff In FIJI
Your Stay at Paradise Taveuni
Paradise Taveuni is an idyllic destination located just 40 km (approximately a 60-minute drive) from Taveuni’s Matei Airport. Nestled on 5 landscaped acres, the resort boasts a dramatic backdrop of an extinct volcano and a unique deep-water frontage, providing panoramic ocean views throughout the property. The resort's location offers convenient access to nearby waterfalls in the northeast and deep water close to shore in the southwest, as well as the world-famous Rainbow Reef—a pristine 32 km reef known for its vibrant soft and hard corals, solidifying Taveuni's reputation as the "Soft Coral Capital of the World."
The resort is designed to cater to a wide range of visitors, including avid divers, couples seeking a romantic honeymoon, and families eager to explore both land and ocean. Paradise Taveuni offers a variety of activities, including land excursions, water sports, and a day spa, allowing guests to choose between active adventures and relaxation.

- All Eco Dive Center guests will be housed in Oceanfront Bures and Vales with bedding options of 2 double beds or 1 King bed.
- All Bures and Vales are newly refurbished lodgings includes air conditioning, a tropical outdoor shower in your own private lava-rock garden, a spacious deck to read and enjoy the views.

Recommended Flights (Not Included)
- Fiji Airways has direct flights from LAX to Nadi then take a small jumper flight from Nadi to Taveuni. The jumper flight is about one hour and twenty minutes long then the resort will arrange for a transfer from the small Taveuni airport to Paradise resort. We recommend planning to arrive early in the morning on the 16th of June.
- Keep in mind that with the time change, you will lose a day on the way there and gain it back on the flight home. So you may likely depart on a late night flight on 6/14/25 and arrive in Fiji early morning on 6/16/25 so plan your flights appropriately

Diving in Fiji
The waters surrounding Taveuni, extending south into the Koro Sea, are rich with nutrients, making them ideal for thriving marine ecosystems. Divers can explore a variety of stunning underwater landscapes, including current-swept walls, sandy plains, and gently sloping reefs. These diverse habitats are home to a wide range of marine life, including schooling fish, sharks, and graceful manta rays.
Fiji is known as the "soft coral capital of the world," a title bestowed by legendary diver Jacques Cousteau. Nowhere is this more evident than around Taveuni Island, particularly in the famed Rainbow Reef between Taveuni and Vanua Levu. As a central hub of Fiji's diving industry, Taveuni is regarded as one of the best diving destinations in the South Pacific.
The Great White Wall Dive Site
The Great White Wall is often ranked among the top dive sites in the world. This extraordinary site begins with a descent through a 3-meter wide Lava Tube at 12 meters, taking divers down to 23 meters, where the White Wall starts. Natural light filters through the openings in the Lava Tube, illuminating a thriving underwater world filled with Lionfish, Banded Shrimps, Squirrelfish, Moray Eels, and occasionally even Giant Groupers.
At 20 meters, divers are met with the Great White Wall, a stunning underwater formation where white soft corals blanket the wall's surface, extending beyond 30 meters into the depths. Marine life flourishes here, and divers may encounter Scorpionfish, Nudibranchs, Mantis Shrimp, Longnose Hawkfish, Pelagic fish, and many more.
