Over a hilly 4.5km of dirt road, Waidroka caters to serious surfers and divers looking for an upmarket alternative to the Yanuca island surf camps. Check out the variety of combined packages on their website. There’s a small flotilla of boats on hand to take guests to local breaks and Frigate Passage.
The resort crew are skilled at finding the best waves and run a dive operation that includes shark diving off Beqa. Non-surfing/diving partners are also well catered for with free snorkelling and kayaking, beachside massages and an excellent restaurant (meal packages $110). Guests stay in either bright-orange bures or the adjoining terrace rooms – both are very smart.
