The Fijian island of Beqa is an outlier to the main island of Viti Levu, 10 kilometres to the south. Its villages are most noted in the area for their ritual practice of firewalking as a rite of passage for the inhabitants and a novelty or even confidence building exercise for tourist.

Beqa is home to four resorts: Lawaki Beach House, Beqa Lagoon Resort, Kulu Bay Resort and Lalati Resort along with the exclusive Royal Davui Resort located on Beqa’s islet, Steward Island. With tourism supporting this island’s economy visitors can be assured of excellent service in a world class holiday destination.

Diving off of the island of Beqa represents what Fiji locations are famous for: fabulous walls, mysterious caves and grand overhangs festooned with thriving hard and soft corals and teaming with reef fish. Jaw dropping pelagic species cruise this island as well. Divers may choose to remain within the sheltered confines of the enormous bay where the waters are always calm and the current is non-existent or you may venture into the Somosomo Strait for some intense drift diving. Regardless of your level of experience, Beqa is plentiful in exotic dive sites to suit everyone’s desires.
