Dolphin Bay Divers

Dolphin Bay, on one of the top 10 dive destinations in the world – the famous Rainbow Reef, is only accessible only by boat, but our little hideaway is the ideal place for diving, snorkeling and getting away from it all. Sip a glass of imported wine while in your hammock and watch the fish go by. Luxuriate with a relaxing massage while listening to the gentle sound of waves lapping on the shore. Top it all off with a delightful dinner on the beach, or visit the village and get to know the real Fiji, its history, culture and its people.

Accommodations

All of our accommodations are oceanfront and offer beautiful views of the bay. Choose between our 4 bures (traditional Fijian Style bungalows) with private facilities or our 2 Jungle Tents with shared facilities. Enjoy daily maid service and turn down in the evening.

Traditional Bure

Our bures are locally built from bamboo and hard wood. They are not fancy, but comfortable, with double or queen size beds, inner spring mattresses, mosquito screens and nets as well as solar lights, and hot water showers.  (Please remember to save water!) For rain water collection, the roof is not made from reeds or natural materials.

Jungle Tent

Be adventurous and stay in a Jungle Tent (large room with standing head space and mosquito screens) featuring double or single beds with inner spring mattresses make you sleep like a baby. Sorry no solar power in the Jungle Tent, but you will have romantic kerosene lambs. The 2 Jungle Tents share 1 shower and 1 toilet. Please no smoking inside the bures or Jungle Tents.

Activities

After diving you should rest… well we do…..

Enjoy the afternoon in your hammock, snorkel the bay, take a walk on the beach, do a shore dive or explore the reef. Later in the afternoon, hike to the top of the mountain and watch the sun set over the Somosomo strait.
