Jewels of the South Pacific, The Ultimate Christmas Get-Away!

Fiji—We are going to the Bamboo Reef Resort on a 870-acre island located just five minutes off the northern tip of the big island of Viti Levu. The resort is small and intimate with great food, right on the beach. Its warm and friendly Fijian staff will make your stay extremely pleasant. After spending the morning diving, the staff will arrange for a waterfall trek or a cultural village visit. There is a wonderful restaurant and bar on site.

The incredible diversity of life can be seen on land and below. There are towering volcanic mountains, rain forests with exotic flora and fauna and the coral gardens explode with vibrant colors and a multitude of marine life. Fiji’s people are among the most friendly on earth. Come explore with us.

Diving in the Fijian waters is an exciting and memorable adventure. Each dive site is spectacular and the warm, clear tropical waters will spoil you rotten. We’ll do three days of boat diving here.

Tonga—A wonderfully majestic place with super friendly people. It is an island group known to be the cultural center of its region in the South Pacific. This will be a vacation to remember! World class diving and world class National Geographic style cultural adventures. Don’t miss this one—sign up today before the the price of airfare doubles the trip price.

If your passion is diving beautiful untouched reefs in deliciously warm water with spectacular visibility, then diving in Tonga is your gate way to this magical under water paradise. Tonga has a lot to offer the world with its beautiful coral reefs that stretch over 30 different locations in the Vava’u Group.

The waters are very protected and most of the dive sites have little current or wave exposure. Northeast of New Zealand and southeast of Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga is the unspoiled jewel of the central Pacific. We will be doing land based boat diving from the Royal Island Sunset Resort. The Tonga portion of this trip can be done alone for $2395.
