Tui Tai Expedition Cruises: The Premier Adventure Experience in the South Pacific
"If you're going to experience a tropical wonderland like Fiji, you better be certain to go to places you could never go, do the things you could never do, and leave with the feeling that there's nothing better you could have ever done anywhere else. Such is a trip on the Tui Tai."
- Tim Neville, writer for Outside and Men's Journal magazines
10 Reasons to Travel with the Tui Tai
Travel with the Best
Tui Tai is the only operator in the South Pacific featured in National Geographic’s annual survey the “Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth.”
Culture
The Pacific Cultural Triangle. Visit the chain of islands that history and circumstance have made into a cultural hotspot, including Polynesian, Micronesian and Melanesian culture.
Truly All-Inclusive
Everything is included: every service, mixed drink, glass of wine or beer, evey meal, all scuba diving (even dive courses), snorkeling, kayaking, spa treatments - everything. Once you board Tui Tai, the details are in our hands, and your only responsibility is to have the experience.
Customize Your Day
Whether snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, visiting remote villages, relaxing on a beach, or just sailing the clear blue waters, all our activities have been equally enjoyed by a 26-year old tri-athlete and an active 74-year old world traveler – and everyone in between. You can opt in and out of as much as you wish.
Travel in Style
We only have first class service. Includes a gourmet menu served from the fresh cook outdoor kitchen, bar service, housekeeping/laundry service, spa treatments and yoga classes.
Diving
Sites visited by Tui Tai described by Lonely Planet: “snorkeling and diving sites are some of the world’s best.”
Humanitarian
Tui Tai’s Charitable works continue on every trip, including delivery of school and medical supplies to remote locations.
Exclusive Access
The Ringgolds include a scattering of tiny volcanic atolls with beautiful sandy beachs and black rocks. One atoll is a crater where you can hike to the summit in the morning and in the afternoon kayak within the crater center! Accessible only with Tui Tai.
Intimacy
Tui Tai takes only 22 guests on each expedition
The Tui Tai Touch
Onboard crew of 18 staff. In the words of travel writer Tim Neville: “The Tui Tai crew have only one purpose: to make sure you go to sleep each night swearing you just spent the best day of your life.”
Healing
Healing for yourself may come from a massage done to the sound of a cascading watefall, a morning yoga class on the top deck, or just relaxing in a beautiful location.
PACIFIC CULTURAL TRIANGLE
Tui Tai is the only luxury-adventure ship operating in the Pacific Cultural Triangle, providing guests a remarkable look at three distinct cultures that history and circumstance have put together within a nearby triangle of islands. In addition to visiting islands where indigenous Fijians live, Tui Tai sails to islands where Polynesians and Micronesians were relocated after World War II, and where the villagers live in their historically natural ways. Only the Pacific Cultural Triangle offers adventurers a chance to experience such strikingly different cultures and histories during a one-week visit.
LUXURY THAT DOESN’T GET IN THE WAY OF ADVENTURE
The word luxury can be defined in many ways. On Tui Tai, luxury means that everything has been made easy without being soft or pretentious. For example, while you’ll have same-day laundry service onboard, your clothes won’t come back wrapped in paper or tied with a frilly ribbon. We focus on the kinds of luxuries that matter: nightly turn-down service, air conditioning, the best shampoos and soaps, 800-count Egyptian Cotton Sateen sheets, superb exotic food, spa treatments, and the world’s kindest and most thoughtful service. The result is that Tui Tai is a luxury resort that moves through the South Pacific, offering guests views that change all day.
ADVENTURE THAT DOESN’T GET IN THE WAY OF LUXURY
Like luxury, adventure can be defined many ways. To our guests it means spontaneity, having the flexibility and the resources to do and see amazing things, both above and beneath the surface. Even on the world’s least trodden beach, or surrounded by the mist of a giant waterfall, you can still get a massage right there – because we set up spa services right there. You might be kayaking up a jungle river, but our support boat makes sure chilled beverages and snacks are waiting for you upstream. Whether snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, visiting remote villages, or just sailing the clear blue waters, all our activities have been equally enjoyed by a 26-year old tri-athlete and an active 74-year old world traveler – and everyone in between.
