As you step aboard, you'll be greeted by the warm Fijian hospitality that awaits you throughout your voyage. Your first destination is the picturesque Tivua Private Island, a secluded paradise where azure waters lap against pristine shores. Here, amidst the swaying palms and gentle sea breezes, you'll have the opportunity to explore coral gardens teeming with vibrant marine life. And as the sun dips below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, you'll witness a breathtaking South Pacific sunset, a moment of serenity and beauty that will stay with you forever.
Continuing your journey, you'll arrive at Makogai Island, where the rich tapestry of Fijian culture comes to life. Immerse yourself in the island's history as you attend a heartwarming choral performance, a testament to the resilience and spirit of its people. Then, venture into the lush interior, where ancient traditions and modern life intertwine seamlessly.
Next on your itinerary is Levuka, a town steeped in history and charm.

Here, you'll uncover the stories of the past and experience the vibrant culture that thrives in the present.

In Savusavu, known as the hidden paradise of Fiji, you'll have the opportunity to soak in natural hot springs or embark on a journey to the renowned Justin Hunter pearl farm, where the secrets of pearl cultivation are revealed.

Explore the legendary Bouma waterfalls, where the waters plunge into crystal-clear pools below, offering a refreshing respite from the tropical heat.
But perhaps one of the most memorable experiences awaits on Kioa Islands, where time seems to stand still amidst the traditional customs and vibrant culture of its Polynesian inhabitants. Here, you'll be swept away by the rhythm of the drum and the sway of the dancers, as you immerse yourself in the age-old traditions of song, dance, and handicrafts.
As your expedition draws to a close, you'll find yourself at Nananu-i-ra, a pristine paradise where turquoise waters beckon you for one final swim, snorkel, and beachcombing session. And as you bid farewell to Fiji the next morning in Lautoka, surrounded by the echoes of traditional songs and the memories of a lifetime, you'll carry with you the spirit of adventure and the warmth of Fijian hospitality.
So come aboard and join us as we embark on a voyage of discovery through the remote North islands of Fiji, where every moment is a treasure waiting to be uncovered.
