Pacific Dive & Travel Famil Group In Paradise – 20 April 2010.
The USA Dive Wholesaler, Pacific Dive & Travel, brought 10 Dive Travel Sales staff, positioned across the USA, to Paradise Taveuni for 3 nights recently.
The group enjoyed diving on our pristine Vuna Reef and of course the legendary Rainbow Reef. They experienced Fiji Night and had dinner with owner, Allan Gortan.
The majority of the group commented that they had stayed at 2 other dive properties in Fiji and the biggest point of difference about Paradise Taveuni is the ‘real Fiji’ experience while the were in Paradise. They really felt they were in Fiji because of the layout of the traditional Fijian Bure’s, the genuine hospitality they received from the Paradise Team, the warm ‘Bula’ from all staff throughout their stay, each meal included fresh local produce with Fijian influences and the Fiji Night celebrations. Many of the group members had been to Fiji previously and seen many meke’s, eaten many Lovo feasts and had Kava in many places, however when they tried the Paradise Fiji Night, they said it was exceptionally different from anything else they had experienced.
So, take it from the Pacific Dive & Travel Group – stay in Paradise soon.
