Enjoy a “Secret Island Trip” with Beqa Lagoon Resort where you’ll cruise to a beautiful atoll surrounded by vibrant blue waters full of fish for excellent snorkelling. The island itself only appears for a few hours each day at low tide. Alternatively, the five-star Nanuku Auberge Resort offers private island trips during the day for guided snorkelling, paddleboarding and fishing, or at sunset complete with a barbecue dinner and sleeping under the stars in a safari tent.

Those staying on the shores of the Pacific Harbour can still experience the magic of Beqa Island on the self-drive jet ski safari. Jump on one of the Yamaha VX700 jet skis with Jet Ski Safari and follow your guide across the Beqa Lagoon to your first landing on Beqa Island. From there, you’ll continue around Beqa Island to a stunning snorkelling spot on a coral reef before stopping off for a picnic lunch on the island.

Just off the shores of Beqa Island and the Pacific Harbour is one of the world’s largest barrier reefs containing the famous Beqa Lagoon. See the coral gardens and their abundance of tropical marine life for yourself on a snorkelling or scuba diving tour – something on the agenda of most luxury resorts in the area. Otherwise, organise a snorkelling trip with Sea Fiji Reefs with snorkel gear, transport and refreshments included (more info on Viator and Tripadvisor). Or kick it up a notch with a two-tank soft coral reef dive or a cageless shark dive with Aqua Trek (on Viator and Tripadvisor).

Those seeking peace and tranquillity during their Fiji escape will find it in the private experiences offered by the Pacific Harbour’s luxury resorts. In fact, the Royal Davui Island Resort is an adult-only resort exclusively for guests over the age of 16. The Nanuku Auberge Resort offers a wealth of private activities, from fishing charters to private island cruises, as well as several private dining options. Or how about the Lalati Resort & Spa on Beqa Island with their private dinners for couples and a private lagoon cruise? Get more inspiration in our The Adult Only Guide to Pacific Harbour & Beqa.

Compared to the Pacific Harbour’s neighbour, the Coral Coast, the number of resorts offering kids’ clubs is limited. However, the Nanuku Auberge Resort has an action-packed agenda at the Lailai Children’s Club where kids get to engage in exciting cultural and educational activities like warrior drumming and sandcastle-building competitions. The resort also offers nanny services, so either way, mum and dad will get some time to reconnect. See our Guide to the Pacific Harbour & Beqa for Families for more information.

Fiji might be more know for its casual island-style dining, but you can still find that luxury experience at one of the Pacific Harbour’s fine dining restaurants. Seduce at The Pearl Resort serves up Fijian-influenced cuisine on the waterfront in a contemporary-meets-classic venue decorated with an illuminated bar and chandeliers. Alternatively, try the elegant and romantic Kanavata Restaurant & Lounge at the Nanuku Auberge Resort specialising in Pacific Rim cuisine with freshly-caught seafood straight from the Beqa Lagoon.
