For a dozen years Nai'a has been the flagship Fiji liveaboard in the South Pacific. Its professional crew is famous as the friendliest and most competent in the business. Their expertise is evidenced by the variety of their schedule, including 7 and 10 night dive trips around Fiji, as well as charters to enjoy Tonga's humpback whales.
Nai'a has both double and twin stateroom en-suite cabins. All are very large, timber-lined, bright, airy, and clean. The vessel is a 36 metre long deluxe steel hull motor yacht which goes under sail where possible, cruising around the islands of Fiji over clear blue water; an unforgettable experience in itself.
Explore the remarkably rich and diverse Bligh Water, with its lavish coral bommies, visit Mutiny Mount, the exclusive Wakaya Island channel, and the astonishing Nigali Passage. This area attracts many of the world's leading photographers and underwater film makers. The Nai'a often runs special photography trips and, due to its unrivalled reputation, attracts many names from the scuba world, such a Stan Waterman, to join their Fiji liveaboards dispensing expert advice to fellow guests.
Nai'a provides complimentary dinner wine during evening meals.

Day 1
Get picked up, either from Nadi International Airport or your hotel in Nadi, and be transferred by minivan in 30 minutes to Lautoka Harbour where Na'ia and its crew await your arrival. Once all the guests are on board, the liveaboard departs at around 14:00 hrs. Have lunch, then a check dive in the afternoon, followed by dinner.
Days 2-7
Your days start early, with the 1st dive at 07:00 hrs, but not until after waking up to cereals, toast and hot coffee. Don't worry as there will be a bigger breakfast after your return from diving. The 2nd dive of the morning is then at 10:30 hrs.
Your time spent underwater during a cruise in Fiji will be filled with pristine hard and soft corals, and lots of sharks encounters including whitetip, hammerhead and grey reef sharks, plus schooling trevally, barracuda, manta rays and other pelagics. It is also a paradise for critters lovers, featuring harlequin shrimps, frogfish and tons of nudibranchs. This is world-class scuba diving with an unrivalled variety of sites. It's not unusual to find some unnamed species as well: keep your eyes open or rely on your guide for new discoveries!
A deserved buffet style lunch and some rest, perhaps on the sun deck or or in the aircon saloon, as you wait for the 3rd dive at 1430 hrs. The 4th dive is usually a dusk dive, with divers ready to hit the water at around 17:30 hrs. Have a shower and relax while dinner is getting ready: the Na'ia chef uses only fresh local fish, fruits and vegetables to create new surprises and delicacies at every meal.
There will also a barbeque night that you won't easily forget from your safari as it is so good! Wine is also complimentary, just keep in mind that there will be a couple of night dives during the trip and therefore avoiding alcohol is necessary.
