Hi guys and gals
long story short its my missus' birthday very soon and unfortunately ill be flying out to work the day before but want to do something special. I was thinking of a getaway to Fiji! But ive never been so was wondering if anyone on here (i see alot of posts regarding Fiji so seems like a good place to ask) has any advice. Ie were is good, were too avoid, were would i find a place that hires SUP boards etc etc?
I have seen all the adds and brochures online but would like to hear some first had experiences from people on here. I was thinking of doing the resort thing but I know ill want to go for a sup when im there as well as relaxing with a cocktail or 12
Any thoughts? cheers guys, would be very appreciated
As you are living in WA, why not Bali ?
I love Fiji but thinking of costs and less travelling.
Go Fiji over Bali - Lots of resorts in Fiji if that's what you are after but expensive. Bali is an over conjested sh1thole - some will disagree but unfortunately it is.
I'll be able to give you some feedback on Fiji after the 6th of May.
I'm staying at Plantation Island which is a family friendly resort but thats about all I know.
Manatavusi Resort on the Coral Coast.Small resort with 16 guests max Run by Aussie couple Brian & Donna. They have a couple of SUPs.

My wife & I stayed there a couple of years ago - awesome.
Thanks for the vid Piros, looks like a great place to take the Family. Is there places to SUP surf close by?
Yeah straight out front plus he has 3 boats to chase waves, he just took delivery of his first container of Corebans second one on it's way , so very Sup friendly.
Namotu Island is the best place to stay when in Fiji

I had 2 weeks on Taveuni last month. Hired a house called "vale sekoula" ( its got a website with prices etc) right on the beach with its on pool etc. Kitchen the whole 9 yards. Couldn't recomend it enough. Comes with a cleaner who will cook if required and her Hubby who is the maintenance man "Buna N Sepo"
Definitly waves there straight in front of the house for a fun Sup if you are keen. Only prob is getting the board there. WIll take a inflateable next time I think.

Have a look at Mana Island www.manafiji.com. You can hire a SUP from enquiries@waluwatersports.com and they will deliver to the island. There is both a wave and calm water paddling. Check out testimonials and feedback for Mana and Walu Water Sports on this site
