DWF Is Getting Funky In Fiji In 2026!

Let’s Do Some Diving!

As you may have seen, DWF just got back from an amazing 10-day trip to Volivoli Beach Resort in Fiji. I take these familiarization trips to make yours better! 🙂

When I first heard about Volivoli, I heard how wonderful it was from both the staff but also friends who had made it out there themselves. The descriptions were almost beyond belief, so I had to see for myself! My Volivoli Beach Resort Trip Report verifies that this is the case, so join me for 10 days in the soft coral capital of the world and come see what all the hubbub is about. I have been back for several weeks and my thoughts still drift back to Volivoli each day.

DWF has set up a 10-day trip to Volivoli Beach Resort from September 24th-October 4th, 2026.
