10 reasons our guests choose tui tai expeditions
travel with the best
Tui Tai is the only expedition vacation provider in the South Pacific featured in National Geographic’s annual "Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth" survey.
about our responsibility to the people and the environment
experience local culture firsthand
We provide our guests unprecedented access to three distinct societies in the Pacific Cultural Triangle of islands, affording a glimpse into the historically rich stories and daily lives of the Polynesian, Micronesian and Melanesian cultures.
Rather than simply being escorted along as a typical tourist would, you’ll be part of an ongoing mission to improve the lives of locals, affording you a unique opportunity to experience the real Fiji and her people.
about the Pacific Cultural Triangle
leave your credit card at home
On a Tui Tai expedition, "all inclusive" really means "all inclusive." Every service, beverage, meal, equipment rental, spa treatment—anything that grabs your fancy—is included in the pre-paid cost of your trip. Once aboard, just sit back, relax, let us handle the details and simply enjoy the experience to its fullest.
make each day as active as you like, then recover in high style
Tui Tai’s itinerary is about both island-style adventure and relaxation. We think of our trips as "luxury that doesn’t get in the way of adventure, and adventure that doesn’t get in the way of luxury," and offer kayaking, hiking, biking, diving and more. Time to unwind? Try our onboard spa, daily yoga, or even an on-island massage in front of stunning waterfalls or a meditation session atop a volcanic crater.
personalize your Fiji experience
There’s no cruise ship-style pressure to stay on the go or follow a herd of people. When you’re aboard Tui Tai, each day is tailored to your interests. Everyone from 26-year-old tri-athletes to 74-year-old globe trekkers have joined us for snorkeling, scuba diving, visiting remote villages, and more. You can always opt in or out of as much as you’d like. Tell us what you’d like to do, and we’ll make it happen.
travel across the seas in the comfort of home
After five nights with us, we’re sure you’ll agree our services are second-to-none. A gourmet menu prepared fresh daily in our outdoor kitchen, mealtime excursions to dine on deserted beaches or in lush rainforests, full bar, housekeeping and laundry, professional spa treatments and yoga sessions under the clear blue South Pacific skies—it’s all here for your enjoyment.
visit Fiji’s underwater wonderland
Tui Tai knows of more than a few prime spots to drop anchor and grab the diving gear, and tend to keep their exact whereabouts a closely-guarded secret. Lonely Planet Travel Guide raved, "[Tui Tai’s] snorkeling and diving sites are some of the world’s best."
make a difference while you’re here
At Tui Tai, we believe it’s our responsibility to give back to the people that make Fiji such a remarkable place, and charitable work with indigenous local people is an integral part of every trip. While onboard with us, you’ll help deliver school and medical supplies to remote locations, establish relationships, and provide other important services.

gain exclusive access
Tui Tai is large enough to afford guests consummate luxury, yet small enough to sail to remote locations where other, larger boats simply won’t fit. Take the Ringgold islands, a scattered series of tiny volcanic atolls with beautiful sandy beaches and black rocks. You’ll hike to a summit in the morning and kayak within the crater in the afternoon, a remote travel experience accessible only with Tui Tai.
enjoy the Tui Tai Touch
Our onboard crew of 18 warm, hospitable native Fijians grew up in the same remote island villages we visit. They’re proud of their islands and culture, and are happy to welcome you as part of their family. Renowned travel writer Tim Neville once suggested, "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."

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.
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.
When you’re enjoying a luxury-adventure expedition on Tui Tai, you don’t ever have to think about the details of extra charges because there aren’t any. We’ve designed our service to be All-inclusive. Not "all inclusive" as some use the term, followed by a bunch of fine print explaining what isn’t included. We mean that everything is included: every service, mixed drink, glass of wine or beer, every 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 of a lifetime.
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.
