The mud pools are a village enterprise and the sequence is mud, dry, hot spring, rinse. Everyone looks ridiculous.

“Coast and surf from guesthouses rather than resorts”
Surf coaching and coastal trips run out of village guesthouses. Two sessions a day, because one is not how anyone learns.
Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Good value for what's included.
Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. No hesitation recommending them.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Simple food, well made, and enough of it.

Boat was crowded. Fine for the diving, less fine for the surface intervals. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Conditions were poor for two of the days, which nobody can control, but the schedule wasn't adjusted. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
Presenting a bundle of kava root to the village chief and asking permission to visit. It is a real ceremony, not a performance, and it is how you enter any Fijian village. The operator brings the kava.
