Sorry to veer off topic here folks but the old lady persists. We’re going to Fiji for the honey moon for basically the month of June. We’re basically looking at seven+ days focusing on Surf and then another 7+ days of beach lounging and romancing not focusing on surf. For the surf week Namotu and Tavarua are totally booked. So we’ve been looking at Marlin Bay. Looks chic but kinda spendy. As alternative we’re also thinking about Batiluva Beach Resort. Both claim to access Frigates. I say “claim” because apparently there’s been som disputes about access rights. For the non surfing week we’ve kinda been woo’d by the Octopus Resort in the Yasawa Islands. We’re totally open to alteratives on for this segment of the trip. We are not five star resort folks but we also don’t want to set up a tent. Any thoughts? S
congratulations on your marriage S! if both ‘claim’- make sure which location you choose really does have the ‘claim’ for that surf week. the time is near for myself to be a doin the asking for my lady’s hand- we had toyed with the idea of island hoping around hawaii- never done that b-4 but any how this isnt bout me- ENJOY YOURSEVES AND CONGRATULATIONS
Mike; Sorry, never been there so no advise. But I gotta say congratulations…That must be one special lady! Lee
I have a Fiji guidebook that I’d be happy to give you. Think of it as an early wedding present. Got a PO Box or mailing address? If you don’t want to post it publicly, you have my email. Congratulations, Mike!!
swaylock–checkout www.fijisurf.com it’s nagigia island. pretty reasonable and i’ve heard good things about it. its at the southern end of viti levu, and i believe you need to take a hop out of the main airport in nadi. the bures look sweet, overlooking the water…i go to namotu every year and there are other resorts in the area like plantation island and shelter island. these are more “tourist” type resorts, but do offer surf taxis to breaks. the only thing is that tavarua and namotu both have reef rights to their breaks and reserve them for their guests. only wilke’s pass has is open to all comers. good luck…
Conratulations Mike…hope you and she have a happy life together. R.B.
