Comments This would have been a +5 star trip if September's winter weather had been better. We never saw the sun until the last day. So it was cloudy, rainy, windy, cold on surface and in water. Then to add insult to injury,about a quarter of us, including 2 crew, came down with Covid even though everyone was vaccinated AND provided a negative Covid test prior to boarding Nai'a. So much for the "bad." Now for the "good." The crew, the cuisine, the dive operation could not have been better. This was my 4th Nai'a trip and the quality of its services could not be better. And Fiji is STILL the soft coral capital of the word.
