Comments | Qamea had great diving right near the resort, and incredible diving (Rainbow Reef, Yellow Wall) a half hour boat ride away. The coral, exotic, plentiful fish, and numerous macro subjects made diving and taking pictures there a wonderful experience. The resort was perfect - every modern convenience (including air conditioning) in a very exotic island location. The food was great and the staff provided the friendliest, most attentive service we have ever experienced. Other activities we enjoyed included hiking on Taveuni - swimming at the base of waterfalls, surfing lessons (they have a pro instructor on site), and we thoroughly enjoyed the nightly local music/ band at the restaurant. | ||
