Viani Bay is a large bay located close to Fiji’s renowned Rainbow Reef.  There are two dive resorts here: Viani Bay Resort and Dive Academy and Dolphin Bay Retreat. 

Several other dive resorts take tourists to Rainbow Reef including Paradise Dive Resort, Taveuni Dive Resort, and Rainbow Reef Diving.

We met Marina and Jone a few years ago.  They own and operate Viani Bay Resort and Dive Academy.  They are super cruiser friendly, offer delicious meals, have lovely grounds, and wonderful dive tours.

Hikes and Walks in Viani Bay

We decided to walk from Viani Bay, over the hill, and through the mangroves to The Remote Resort.  We did this walk coming the other way so we had somewhat of a track.

It is 2hours and 3.7 miles there, including a few wrong turns.  But we all made it!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch and headed back.  Long day, but totally worth the effort!

It started out just being Chris, Sarah (SeaGlub) and Sugar Shack.  But then others heard about our lofty goals and wanted to join the adventure.  We ended up with Kevin and Stacy (Free Spirit), Pierre and Marie (Viva), and Craig and Ray (Russala).

We came across a property called Na Vale Walu on a different walk  This unique home sits on 36 acres of free hold land.  There is main house and guest house and both come fully furnished.  Could be yours for $600,000 USD.

Matt attempted to climb a palm tree but only made it half way up (or is it across).

There is lots of exploring to do around this pretty bay.  We walk along the water’s edge and see a variety of Fijian houses.  Some are nicer than others, but they all have the same gorgeous view.

There is a small church and a primary school.

Our blog posts run 6-8 weeks behind actual live events. 

We were here during the first part of July 2025.

We learn all about Fiji Salt which was created by Jwww.noforeignland.com/place/5250864870588416ohne at Viani Bay Resort.  Don’t miss this next blog post.
