About

There are a lot of other better places to surf in Fiji but this is nice

Atmosphere:
Fiji is a great spot to surf, I love it there warm water and everything dolphins jumping around you and the clearest water you can imagine

Additional Info:
A great spot allthough it is a bit expensive to surf it you have to pay 30 Fiji dollars each time you go and it is only in the morning they go from Seashell; so no evening sessions. I would recommend Plantaion Island

Location

Access

By boat from either Seashell Resort but itis not very nice there,
or you can go to Plantation Island and stay there which is a little more expensive or you can go to Namotu Island and stay there
Can easliy be affected by tradewinds so most surfing done early mornings.
Takes about 15 mins. by boat from Plantation Is. FD$40 No board hire here BYO.
Can take boat from mainland (Denarau Harbour)but expensive FD$90-130 depending on numbers. You can hire boards from here
