What Travelers Love
  • Exceptional Welcome: Guests are greeted on the beach by singing staff members who often carry them ashore from the seaplane, creating an immediate sense of warmth and luxury.
  • Scenic Seaplane Transfer: The half-hour seaplane flight from Nadi offers astounding views of emerald islands, turquoise seas, and coral reefs, making the journey an integral part of the Fijian experience.

  • Personalized Service: The entire arrival and departure process is characterized by the resort's renowned hospitality, where staff make guests feel like family from the moment they step off the plane.
Common Complaints
  • Potential Wait Times: While the resort strives for smooth transfers, some older reports indicate potential wait times of up to five or six hours for the seaplane from Nadi.
  • Overnight in Nadi: Due to restricted transfer times, same-day connections between Nadi and Turtle Island may not always be possible, potentially requiring guests to incur the expense of an overnight stay in Nadi.
  • Limited "Terminal" Facilities: The "seaplane base" is not a traditional airport with extensive terminal facilities; rather, the beach is the lobby, reflecting the barefoot luxury ethos of the resort.

Overall, the experience at Turtle Island Seaplane Base is a highly praised and integral component of the exclusive Turtle Island Resort stay. Travelers value the personalized, luxurious transfer and the stunning seaplane journey, despite the occasional possibility of layovers or wait times in Nadi.
