Itinerary
Just a few guests can be accommodated at a time, so be prepared for an exclusive and genuine experience from the moment of your arrival. Enjoy a scenic 30-minute flight from Nadi Airport to Pacific Harbour followed by a 35-minute fast launch ride across the lagoon to Royal Davui Resort. Departures are daily at 9:30am and 3:30pm. Road and speed boat transfers are also available as well as helicopter transfers (prices vary). Upon arrival at Royal Davui, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the staff with a lei and shows to your luxury resort villa or “vale”. Your vale has been superbly appointed with stylish modern features while maintaining the Fijian tradition of thatched roofs and wooden construction. Each stunning vale features its own climate-controlled private plunge pool, spa bath, separate lounge room, sun deck and wet bar. From your private pool, watch dolphins and turtles moving through the lagoon, follow the winding path of a frigate bird, or just bask in barefoot luxury. |

Spend the rest of the day exploring Royal Davui’s pristine waters and protected coral gardens. Get up close to the teeming marine life with an off-beach snorkel or explore the outer reaches of the island by sea kayak, stand up paddle board or hobie cat. As the sun sets, you’ll have the chance to embark on a magical night snorkel safari! Your first day culminates dinner and drinks in the Bayan Bar. |
Enjoy a delicious breakfast under the expansive canopy of the Bayan tree, or hide away in your villa with breakfast served on your private deck. Prepare for an action-packed day on the water, starting with a thrilling jet ski safari. Zip across the crystal-clear waters and look out for marine life including dolphins and sea turtles. Then, take a break aboard a boat and try your hand at fishing. If you’re lucky, you might even catch your own dinner! Known species include Blue Marlin, Giant Trevally, Mahi Mahi and Wahoo. |

The highlight of the day is undoubtedly your castaway sand cay beach picnic. You’ll be taken to a tiny tidal islet approximately 7-minutes’ boat ride from the resort to spend a few hours alone with your loved one. A sunshade is provided to protect you from the sun along with some picnic mats and a picnic of your choice. Spend the afternoon soaking up the sun and exploring the reef system and shallow tide pools at this unique location. |
Head over to nearby Beqa Island for a delightful morning hike. Beqa has no roads, no towns and only a few isolated villages scattered around the perimeter. Venture up to the World War II lookout for spectacular views over the island and Coral Coast. After, head back to Royal Davui where, at low tide, it is possible to walk around the entire island. Stroll around the island and discover shallow tide pools teeming with life. Waterproof shoes are recommended (available in the boutique if you do not have your own). Alternatively, ask about the range of beach games available including Bocce, beach paddle ball, ring toss and more. |
Journey to the mainland for an exhilarating 4-wheel buggy trek through the surrounding hills and rainforest. This 3-4-hour tour will take you through the most beautiful scenery, stopping at a waterfall, where you can cool off with a dip in a natural rock pool and enjoy a picnic lunch. If you prefer not to drive, a trained driver is happy to drive for you. In the afternoon, return to Royal Davui where you can spend the rest of the afternoon resting and relaxing. |
Spend today doing as much or as little as you like. Keen divers can access Beqa Lagoon and the famous Pacific Harbour Shark Dive, where you can swim so close to sharks you can almost touch them. These dive sites are among the best in the world, offering everything from soft coral to shipwrecks and cave swims. All dive sites are within 30-minutes of the resort, with a number being accessible direct from the beach. Each dive site (with the exception of Shark Dive) is limited to 6 guests to ensure an immersive and personalised experience. If you’ve never dived before or are just starting out, there are also a number of PADI dive courses available to broaden your horizons. Give it a try. Diving can change your life. |
Spend today doing as much or as little as you like. No trip to Royal Davui would be complete without spending some time in the award-winning spa. Using only acclaimed Pure Fiji spa products and training, the Royal Davui spa brings you the best of Fiji’s ancient traditions for today’s natural body care. Choose from a full range of decadent massages and treatments and take the opportunity to relax, rejuvenate and renew in absolute luxury. Cap off your time at Royal Davui with an unforgettable sunset cruise. Indulge in sparkling wine and canapes as the sun sets red, purple and pink across the horizon. |
Wake up and enjoy one last gourmet breakfast. When you’re ready, say farewell to your hosts and journey back to Nadi via water taxi and shared air transfer to commence your onward journey.

In the event that we are forced to change your arrangements, substitute arrangements of a similar standard will be provided.

Pre-Existing Medical Conditions and Age Limits
You need to advise Onlyluxe travel and the tour operator on any pre-existing medical condition, mobility impairment and/or disability that might reasonably be expected to increase the risk of your requiring medical attention, or that might affect the normal conduct of a trip and the enjoyment of other trip members. Onlyluxe Travel and the tour operator may require an assessment of your medical condition from a qualified medical practitioner.

Cancellation by The Tour Operator
The walks take place in very special wilderness settings. The tour operator is at the mercy of nature in all her beauty and all her fury. The tour operator will under no circumstance knowingly place at risk the health and well-being of our guests and guides. In the case of natural threats, acts of God and the like (e.g. bushfires, impassable snow, etc) the tour operator may need to cancel a walk with very little notice. In some cases, this can occur after the walk has commenced. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel any walk up to 60 days prior to departure if a minimum of 4 walkers are unable to meet for a tour. If the tour operator needs to cancel for any reason, the cost of the walk or any other costs associated with travel to the designated pick up point, overnight accommodation, meals, etc will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore we strongly recommend travel insurance be taken out prior to travel.
Force Majeure
'Force Majeure' means (without restriction) any event which Onlyluxe Travel or its third party providers could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. Force Majeure covers events such as, but not limited to, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events beyond our control. In the case of Force Majeure Onlyluxe Travel will not accept liability, and reserves the right to change and cancel trips.
Evacuations
In rare circumstances, due to injury or unforeseen illness, the tour operator may need to evacuate you from a remote part of the walk. Helicopter evacuations are expensive and in most cases will be at a cost to the customer.
For Australian residents, under the Australian Government Medicare Act, it is prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to ambulance or air ambulance services. We therefore strongly advise our customers to take specific ambulance cover through their health insurance provider. Evacuation cost will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore it is also strongly recommended that our customers take out travel insurance to cover (amongst other things) the costs associated with evacuation.
Travel Insurance
In view of the heavy cancellation penalties applied to cancelled reservations in certain circumstances, we strongly recommends suitable travel insurance be purchased at the time the holding deposit is paid. We recommend insurance cover that covers any loss which may be suffered due to cancellation. We also strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance against loss of baggage and medical expenses.
