Daku Resort

Daku Resort is a delightful gem that glints from the hidden treasure trove that is Savusavu.

Its combination of comfortable accommodation, good food, great setting and fabulous staff has made it Savusavu’s top rated choice on Trip Advisor.

Daku ResortIt is within easy reach of the magnificent reefs and calm waters of Savusavu Bay for its many snorkel group trips, which it runs from its own boat, from the beach and in partnership with the local dive operators.

Daku Resort is Vintage Fiji at Vintage Prices – a perfect holiday. It has all the pleasures of a bure in a traditional bayside resort without the prices of five star resort life

Great LOCATION: Close enough to town to walk, far enough from town to be very private. \Bay front location ideal for sunset paddles (kayaks/paddleboards – Daku provides).

Great PEOPLE: JJ and Delia are wonderful hosts. JJ even picked me up and dropped me off at the airport himself! Aubrey, George, and the rest of the Daku family are always there if you need them but respect your privacy if that is what you are looking for.

Great TIME: Meals are family style and the conversations with guests from all over the world are fascinating, timely, and engaging. I enjoyed the global perspective provided by these interactions. Sunset paddleboarding nightly was a highlight of my stay. Savusavu sunsets are incredible, and watching the sky colors explode and fade to black atop a paddleboard in the middle of the peacefully calm bay is quite special.

Great VALUE: All in all, you won’t find a better overall experience for the price.

Welcome to The Great Fiji Shark Count !

Throughout the months of April and November every year, you have the opportunity to help celebrate and record Fiji’s amazing coral reef biodiversity, show you care about our world’s delicate coral reef systems, and have fun, by taking part in the FIJI-WIDE SHARK COUNT!

Easy to do, this is suitable for visitors and locals alike, whether you like to fish, snorkel, or SCUBA dive. We hope that tourists, school children, scientists and all people with an interest in the marine environment will take to the reefs with us to search for the Sharks of Fiji!

The Great Fiji Shark Count will be held across Fiji every April and November every year.

You can do a single count, or take part as many times as you like during that month, so that you cover different reefs. All data will be gratefully accepted!

So, see your resort, watersports operator or travel agent, get your Shark identification materials and dive into the beautiful blue waters of Fiji, to be a part of history!
