FIJI, CAIRNS & GOLD COAST

Breakfast at the hotel. A half day guided afternoon tour visiting the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, nestled beneath the Sabeto mountain range. Founded by the late Raymond Burr in 1977_ to house his personal collection of Orchids, the gardens offer a relaxing way to enjoy Fiji's unique tropical beauty with an array of exotic Orchids, palms and flowering plants while listening to the birds in the mountain valley. A visit to the historical and chiefly Fijian Village of Viseisei where legend recalls that this was the site for the first arrival of the Fijian. The tour continues driving by the largest Hindu temple in the South Pacific followed by a quick visit to the Nadi Market filled with tropical fruits and vegetables. Overnight at the hotel.

Breakfast at the hotel. For the greatest fun under the sun you can't beat a day at South Sea Island, the closest day trip island. Just 25 minutes from Denarau aboard our high speed catamaran, our uninhabited island is surrounded by crystal clear waters and magnificent coral reefs. Our Fijian crew will give you a warm welcome as you step ashore onto the sandy beaches. Then the island and all its activities is yours to enjoy. The hardest part is choosing what to do first. This is the only day trip to include usage of all non motorised water sports. You can enjoy snorkelling, sailing, paddle boards, spy boards and windsurfing. And South Sea Island is one of the few islands where there is still good access to the sea at low tide! Or you can take a dip in our swimming pool. Another great feature of your day at South Sea Island will be a ride beneath the waves in our semi submersible vessel to explore the coral reefs and see the magnificent tropical fish life in the surrounding marine sanctuary. A tasty barbecue and salads lunch is included, as is your choice from beer, wine and soft drinks throughout the day. Overnight at the hotel.

Breakfast at the hotel. Board the magnificent classic schooner Seaspray (of television fame) for a day exploring the crystal clear waters, beautiful beaches and lagoons of the Mamanuca Islands. This 83_ foot schooner offers a stable comfortable sail to maximise your on board comfort and enjoyment. Help set the sails, take the helm or just laze around on deck. We explore uninhabited beaches and islands, stop off at magnificent swimming and snorkelling locations and visit a traditional Fijian island village. You'll be welcomed ashore with a Kava ceremony (except Sunday) then have the chance to explore the village and meet the locals. Passengers travel to and from Mana Island on board the fast catamaran (where you transfer directly to Seaspray) so as to maximise the sailing time amongst the most beautiful island areas. Nothing like a day at sea for a big appetite so we include morning and afternoon teas plus a delicious barbeque lunch. All your drinks are included as well with beer, wine, soft drinks, tea and coffee available throughout the day. This is a day on which to spoil yourself and enjoy Fiji at its best.
