Your Fijian getaway awaits!
Beqa Lagoon Resort…truly a chance to get away from it all. A journey by boat across the Beqa Lagoon will transport you from life’s hustle and bustle to the tranquil, secluded Beqa Island, home to Beqa Lagoon Resort. As you near the shoreline, you'll be greeted by the villagers singing a traditional welcome song - the first sign you have arrived in paradise. Bula and Welcome to Fiji island.
Scuba diving enthusiasts will have a chance to plunge into the amazing underwater world at Beqa Lagoon Resort – VOTED ONE OF THE WORLD’S TOP DIVE RESORTS by Scuba Magazine Readers! The GREAT BEQA REEF surrounds our island with 190 miles of spectacular coastline. You’ll enjoy some of the best diving in Fiji, the Soft Coral Capital of the world. With many unique sites to discover, divers are able to explore at a variety of depths with sites as shallow as 15ft (5m) and others drop away to nearly 100ft (30m) and beyond.
We are currently exploring trip extension options.
We will update you with any trip extension opportunities. We would hope to be able to use the round-trip international airfare with any such option.

The Bluegrass Dive Club is working with Caradonna Dive Adventures.

The Bluegrass Dive Club has a policy and successful history of returning dive discounts in the form of post trip rebates to our trip participants on a pro rata share based upon each participants specific booking. Trip rebates are not guaranteed and based upon meeting requirements of our contract with the resort. These rebates come from commissions and comps, which are earned by the club. Our only promise is that any rebates are calculated in a fair and equitable way. The club Bylaws, Article XI. Compensation, Section 1.B. govern our rebates program.
