Planning on a surf trip to Fiji this June. Thoughts from you folk who have travelled there before please. Intermediate surfer and woud prefer rights over lefts.

Lots of factors, $'s, family, amount of time etc.
Wilkes at reasonable size is super fun for intermediates.

I'm heading over there in early May for a wedding.
Will spend 5 days on the Coral Coast at The Outrigger Resort and then another 5 days on Denarau Island.
What's involved in getting from The Outrigger (East of Sigatoka) to Frigates?
What about from Denarau to Cloudbreak or Namotu?
Any companies to recommend?

Ring Waidroka Bay resort for trip to Frigates. To book taxi go next door to the Outrigger to the local place where you can play pool at and book a taxi there to save money. The taxi will wait all day and bring you back for the price. Info 10 years old since I did it. We never did Frigates just the inshore reefs. Waidroka do both.

Thanks seeds.
What were the inshore reefs like?
I hear it's about an hour by boat to get to Frigates.
Would be happy with less travel time.

It’s beautiful. Right and left. We only had it 2-3’
Pipe was fun and would be pretty nice at a bit more size.
Sprout knows the area well. I’m sure he’ll have info.

ps over an hour each way in taxi from memory. There is a right that you can paddle out to from Hideaways resort. Half the taxi time. It was too straight both times we went.
