PRIVATE CHARTER FROM USD $9000 PER DAY |
Join us for the expedition trip of a lifetime. The premier adventure travel
experience in the South Pacific, Active Fiji / Tui Tai Adventure Cruises, brings
a unique type of Fiji vacation experience: Cruise Yacht Expedition Charter.
What you are about to discover is one of the best-kept international vacation
secrets, a Cruise Yacht Charter. Take the opportunity to relax, unwind and enjoy
special times with friends and family, while being pampered by a personal and
professional crew onboard your own private Cruise Yacht, the “Tui Tai.”
It is a vacation planned uniquely for you.
The ability to set your own pace and your own itinerary makes your yacht charter
vacation unique. You take control of your own destiny, no waiting in lines, no
eating on a schedule and you don't have to share your space with hoards of
strangers. This will be your Cruise Yacht, your time and your space to do with
as you please.
Imagine taking in magnificent new views each and every day rather than looking
at the same vista every day from a hotel room or villa. For any occasion, family
inclusive vacations, romantic honeymoon cruises, or scuba diving, you'll find a
Tui Tai charter to be the ultimate experience.
The service is tailored to your needs
Your professional crew will take care of all the details so you can relax.
You'll fill out a charter preference sheet before you leave and your personal
chef will plan each meal based on your specific requests. Your Captain and
Cruise Directors are also your personal guides to your chosen island
destinations and knows where to find the most secluded beaches, the quietest
anchorages or the liveliest village entertainment.
Countless activities
A Tui Tai Charter offers a myriad of water sports activities. Scuba diving,
snorkeling, kayaking, surfing and mountain biking are just a few of the "toys"
you will find at your disposal. The Captain, Cruise Directors and crew are well
versed in operating the equipment onboard and can offer instruction on many
levels. A naturalist and marine biologist onboard can enlighten your group with
presentations about the interesting life on land and in the sea.
Charter where and when you want
No fixed cruise dates or itineraries means you can start and finish your Tui Tai
charter vacation when and where it's most convenient for you. You tell us the
where and when, and we will design the Expedition accordingly.

| LONELY PLANET: "Perfect for
tourists who aren’t all that fond of tours, a voyage with Tui Tai Adventure
Cruises is a fantastic way to see and do a great deal in a short time.
Sailing between Vanua Levu, Taveuni and the more remote islands of Kioa and
Koro, you’ll get to snorkel, kayak, bike, trek, swim, fish, dive or just
lounge on deck to your heart’s content. Dolphins swimming alongside the
boat, star-lit dinners on deck, and the welcoming villagers you meet on the
out-of-the way islands all make it a blissful experience." |
