Here's a few things to consider packing as you gear up for your Tui Tai
Adventure Cruise.
Gear and apparel:
- Strap-on sandals (we highly recommend TEVA’s Hurricane II, which we all wear daily!)
- Water Shoes, Multi-Sport footwear or Trail Runners (we like the Tech
Amphibian by Salomon)
- 1-2 quick-dry shorts or board shorts (Patagonia® Surf shorts are PERFECT!)
- 1 T-shirt, 1 Rash Vest or quick dry for snorkeling and waterfall excursions
- Sunscreen and lip block
- Hat for sun protection (Tui Tai River Hat is ideal, see all my photos)
- Sunglasses w/ retention device (we wear Maui Jim’s Polarized Plus)
- 1 light sweater or Fleece jacket for evenings
- 1 light rain or waterproof jacket ()
- Camelbak or other personal hydration system
- A "sulu" or sarong, this is required dress code for visiting villages (if
you don't have one, we sell them onboard).
Other:
- Passport (with 6 months validity)
- Credit card(s), and some cash for villages and handicrafts
- Travel insurance certificate/details (we recommend World Nomads® as great coverage for adventure travel covering damn near every eventuality, see our website)
- Copies of travel and personal documents
- Dive certificate (C-Card) and logbook if you intend to dive (we are a full PADI Dive Centre)
- Reading material (bring a book as you’ll enjoy time in-between adventures and dives to relax on deck)
- Camera, batteries and film (or plenty of Compact Flash or other memory cards for your digital
camera)
- Journal/notebook
- Binoculars (whale watching!)
- Reading material (bring a book as you’ll enjoy time in-between adventures and dives to relax on deck)
Dive and snorkel Gear:
We have all dive and snorkel gear
onboard. Dive gear is available for hire, while snorkel gear is included
in the cruise fare. You don't need to bring any of these items, but if you
have your own you might remember the following:
- Certification card & DAN card
- Log book
- Regulator – primary and secondary with normal SPG
- Dive computer (We require all divers to dive with a computer. These are
available for rent on board)
- Wetsuit
- Booties
- Mask
- Snorkel
- Fins
- Mesh bag
- Safety sausage and whistle/Dive Alert
For the Villages:
Many of our past guests have asked
us what they could bring to give as gifts to the remote island villages we
visit. The following is a short list of things that will really help.
- Books, Fijians love to read, but it’s tough to get any books on the
outer islands
- Reading glasses, as I said, they love to read!
- Clothes, all kinds of clothes, especially kids and baby clothes
- Shoes, any old running shoes, sandals, cleats
- Medical supplies, Neosporin, band-aids, childrens Tylenol, aspirin,
cough/cold medicine
- Toys, any type of toys for the kids
- A picture of yourself, if you’re going to give a gift, they’d
really enjoy it more if you leave a picture of yourself so they can remember
you and your kind gift
MEDIA FEEDBACK:
What the top adventure travel industry press are saying about Tui Tai Adventure Cruises:
|
| LONELY PLANET:"The crew is brilliant, providing absolutely stellar service and fantastic food, the gear is tops, the snorkeling and diving sites are some of the world's best, the sailboat itself is gorgeous." |
| NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC : "World Class Escape " |
| CONDE NAST: "World's Sexiest Cruises" |
| MENS JOURNAL: One of the "Greatest Adventures on the Planet" |
| OUTSIDE MAGAZINE: a "Trip of a Lifetime" |
| AWAY.COM: "The Tui Tai is hands down the coolest thing to do in Fiji... Tui Tai has only one purpose: to make sure you go to sleep each night swearing you just spent the best day of your life." |
| 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." |
