Thank you!

Bula Tige,
Just wanted to let you know we had an incredible
time-the staff, the itinerary, the food,the boat....everything .
Thank you and we will pass this
little piece of heaven along to our friends.
We actually have some friends that are building a
home in Fiji and go over quite often-and others
traveling over as well. I was wondering if I could get contact info for
several of your employees that we really connected
with and struck my heart strings so to speak!
-Linga, our wondeful host, beautiful Una masseuse and jsut
special lady, and awesome Eddie the dive master.-I
would love their e-mails and /or cell phone numbers or
local mailing addresses-whatever you can spare so I
can stay in contact. I would really appreciate this.
Thanks Tige again for a very special trip to Fiji
I would not have changed anything!
Vinaka, Brandee

WOW! and VINAKA VAKA LEVU TUI TAI!!

Ni Sa Bula Morika and Tige,

Vinaka, Vainaka, Vinaka vaka levu from the Bonney family !!!

Clint, Renae and I had a totally awesome holiday, as did our friends who travelled with us.

Sorry this e-mail has been so long in getting to you but I had another weeks holiday with my other daughter, Samantha, on the Sunday after returning home from Fiji on the Saturday night. After that was Easter and now I have all children back to school and Clint is back at work giving me some uninterrupted time on the computer.

Morika, what can I say..... WOW !!!! you have an excellent product to export to the world. I did try and put in to words my grattitude when I wrote in the guest book...2 full pages, perhaps Ben told you?

Our 5 days and nights on the TuiTai were truly wonderful. The staff and all the crew are a credit to your company.
Everyone showed us true Fijian hospitality and made us feel so very welcome and part of the TuiTai family. Everyone from the engine room to the boat and diving crew and of course Una, Meli and Luma made our trip complete. Ben and Kaori are perfect for their jobs and never had anything but smiles and helpful advice.

Una has the best hands for massaging everything into dreamland but more noticable is that Una has the most gentle nature and the biggest heart. Meli has an infectious sense of humour and style and Luma's cooking was delicious whatever meal he prepared. Together those three people are the best ambassadores for the Tui Tai.

We were also fortunate to be on a cruise with other like minded families and couples who laughed and talked as if we all had known each other before. The laughter and conversations also included all the staff, perhaps it was sharing the carva every night with some of the crew that made everyone feel at ease all the time. Whatever it was there was always laughter.

The small amount of Fijian dollars we had left was not appropriate and Clint and I have decided that we would like to show our appreciation and give the crew of the Tui Tai something for their hospitality and friendship. Can you tell me the names of the crew on our cruise (March10th - 15th) and what is the best way to send them something. I was hoping to give individual cards with some cash and possibly photos... so perhaps if I did that but sent it in one envelope to your office you would be able to forward it on.

If you can get back to me with answers to my request I will try to get some phots printed to send away.

Once again thank you, thank you, thank you for a truly fantastic, awesome, wonderful holiday that we will remember for all the right reasons.

Talk soon,

Vinaka
Cate

"Just returned from what I can truly say has been the best holiday of my life....and I shared it with y 18 year old son"

Bula!

I've just returned from what I can truly say has been the best holiday of my life....and I shared it with y 18 year old son....who believe it or not said the same thing....even though he was travelling with his Mum!

We have just had 5 sensational days aboard the Tui Tai Adventure Cruise, and I don't think I will ever be able to put in writing the magic of these past days. ....but I have to try. Simply put......

• A maximum of 22 guests makes for an intimate, friendly environment....yet with plenty of space to be alone if you wish.
• 22 mountain bikes, 22 kayaks, THE BEST SNORKELING & DIVING, ...plus a spa on board to sooth muscles I haven't used for years.....
• visits to villages completely untouchd by the commercialisation of modern bulk tourism...including completely different cultures, for whom the weekly visit of the Tui Tai and it's few passengers is the only contact with the "modern" world....and I have never felt so welcomed ( and humble)in my life
• Waterfalls, stunning volcanic craters, absolutely perfect white sandy beaches, amazing snorkeling, dolphins "on command", breathtaking soft corals
• Cannot believe one day it rained heavily, I biked 8 k's,walked for ages, was soaked, covered in mud, yet have never laughed so much, or enjoyed myself like that special day....and I still can't find the words to say why!!
• Oh ....and the crew. Laughter, warmth and sheer joy of life mixed with attention to detail and every need somehow pre-empted.....just magical
• I have cruised 8 times before ...from the massive Caribbean cruises to other South Pacific & Australian local cruises....but nothing, repeat nothing, will ever match the sheer joy and fun both my son James & I experienced on the Tui Tai.
• A friend asked me on my return what was so very special ( after I had stopped babbling on for hours) ......all I could say was every day I felt more alive and just plain happy than I can ever remember!

Tui Tai Humanitarian Expedition in November

Tui Tai Adventure Cruises will build a new school library as part of its upcoming Humanitarian Expedition. November 13-17, Tui Tai will be in Togo Village on the remote island of Qamea. Using its unique ability to deliver supplies and skilled labor to remote islands, the Tui Tai team will work to help provide a better education for the children of Togo Village.

Many of Tui Tai's past guests, inspired by the friendliness and warmth of the people of Togo Village, have donated books. While the books have been a much welcomed donation, the village school has no space to store the books and provide a proper reading and study environment.


"We asked the leaders of Togo Village what they really wanted. When we mentioned we would like to help with the school, the village leaders all agreed that a library to house all of the books donated by pasts Tui Tai guests would be a huge benefit to the education of their children," said Morika Young, Owner/Director of Tui Tai Adventure Cruises.

The Tui Tai Humanitarian trip is from Nov 13-17. The trip is open to guests who wish to participate in the project and also mix in some of the Tui Tai Luxury and Adventure. Prices start at just 3124 Fijian Dollars. For more information or to make a reservation, email reservations@tuitai.com
