Fiji Sailing Safaris on the Tall Ship
Spirit of the Pacific
Explore the islands of Fiji on 3/4 day sailing
safaris with daily tall ship adventures from a bure (native
hut) base on our Fijian island
The winds of the South Pacific will gently guide
your voyage through the remote archipelagos of the Mamanuca
and Southern Yasawa Islands. 'Spirit of the Pacific' is an
authentic tall ship, guaranteed to provide you with a unique
holiday experience.
Discover a myriad of underwater life on coral
reefs or trek overland to traditional unspoilt island villages.
Enjoy carefree hours of sun, sail & sand as you sunbathe in
the bowsprit or spend lazy afternoons watching dolphins dart
through blue depths beneath.
Experience a new adventure every day–
swim with manta rays, snorkel, trek overland, visit islands
and traditional villages, go fishing, laze on deck or gain
a few tips on tall ship sailing.
Each evening return to the Barefoot Lodge where
sunset swims, volleyball, night
fishing tours, star gazing, Fijian 'lovo' feasts and nightly
entertainment are all part of the
fun. All meals, activities and accommodation are included
in the price.
Each day Topsail Schooner 'Spirit of the Pacific' sets sail
for an adventure-packed sailing safari through the Yasawa
Islands. The ship sets a new course every day with hundreds
of remote islands, reefs, traditional island villages and
caves to explore. Each day, the choice is yours to set sail
for a new adventure or stay at the lodge.
At your lodge doorstep is a stunning coral reef, soft sandy
beaches and a whole island to explore. Swim with giant manta
rays, snorkel, trek overland, visit islands and traditional
villages, go fishing, laze on deck or gain a few tips on tall
ship sailing. All meals, activities, accommodation and sailing
aboard 'Spirit of Pacific' are included.
