The Gateway to the Star Deck

The new stairs up to the Star Deck are completed already, done by the famous Savusavu ship carpenter, Tom Whippy.

Adventure Cabins no more

Well, we're now moving pretty fast, and as you can see there are now no more Adventure Cabins any more. This is the big space that is being expanded with new doors and windows to make up our 8 new en-suite Expedition Cabins.

Project Cooper's Begins!

Okay this is it, we've finished our last pre-refit cruise this week and we're full speed ahead into the refit! Nazir and his Dream Team of carpenters have arrived from Lautoka, Shane and his welding team are here and Tom Whippy the speed ship carpenter is in place.

And so we see here the removal of all the old adventure cabins and the luxury cabin! All making space for our new Expedition Cabins, Staterooms and Grand Staterooms.

More on all this every few days as I get to my computer.

And may be, there is Kava again.

Bula vinaka, Miriam.

Well, I do not know if you remember me, but I remember you, when you brought me along the Hibiscus-Highway to the Tui Tai, about 4 week ago.

I am travelling now since 2 week around New Zealand. It is a beautiful country, but it is really cold here. There are a lot of activities, one can do here. You will find 6 photos of an activity I did, when you go to the Internet with http://www.ajhackett.com/ .

I have no shirt, because they put me into the water.

Nevertheless, I am glad to go to Tonga on Wednesday. It will be a lot warmer there. And may be, there is Kava again.

With best regards

Peter

Awesome dives, Thanks Pat!

Bula Patrick,

I'll bet you thought that I forgot this, but I'm a man of my word! Hope you like these photos.

No if you're really as good an ex-policeman as you say, you'll remember who I am (world's slowest scuba diver!).

Have a Merry Christmas

Enjoy

Taveuni's Lost Coast Discovered

One of Fiji's most hidden treasures, the scarcely seen windward coast of Taveuni was recently explored by Tui Tai Adventure Cruises. In local lore, the coastline is known as the "land of 100 waterfalls" and it appears that there are at least that many gushers flowing down the rugged island landscape into the sea.

With exceptionally calm conditions, 4 explorers departed Tui Tai in its Naiad Zodaiac RIB. Maritino Tiko, Tige Young, Cari and Kalen Zantolas made the expedition and enjoyed the breathtaking scenery.

Predominant weather makes this coast quite rough in terms of waves and wind, so it is generally inaccessible. There are no roads on this side of the island and a vast expanse of uninhabited coastline remains pristine.

During our exploration we were treated to some close ups to waterfalls that crashed very near the deap sea. The ocean water was a surreal color of jade and sapphire.

The beauty of the coastline makes it an attractive area to consider for future expeditions, however, the potential for rough weather remains a constant concern during any visit.

Enjoy the pictures!
