Explorers
An archipelago of over 300 islands with white shores, turquoise waters and lush green rainforests, Fiji can easily be mistaken for paradise.
Situated in the western Pacific Ocean, Fiji’s incredible marine biodiversity offers its visitors a glimpse into an astonishing underwater world. Renowned French explorer Jacques Cousteau famously called Fiji’s idyllic islands the ‘soft coral capital of the world’, and its diving sites are not to be missed. To explore Fiji’s spectacular marine reefs such as Namena Marine Reserve, The Rainbow Reef and the Great White Wall, you will embark on a journey by luxury yacht. Explore remote locations such as the Northern & Southern Lau group, some of Fiji’s least visited and most beautiful islands, offering a peaceful retreat from the modern world.
During your exploration of Fiji, we will immerse you in Fijian culture by participating in traditional Kava ceremonies, exploring national parks, and even fishing in the locals’ intricately carved sea-going canoes. Whilst yachting is the best way to discover Fiji, the archipelago is home to some of the best hotels in the Pacific Islands. Laucala, situated on the waterfall-laden island of Taveuni, is a luxurious hideaway nestled amongst the wilderness, or Kokomo Island in the diving mecca of Kadavu Island is a serene paradise perfect for adventurers. For a trip that offers both tranquility and adventure, look no further than Fiji’s picturesque islands and discover one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Discover Accommodation
Laucala
Spanning 1,400 hectares and nestled within Fiji’s vast, unspoiled wilderness, Laucala is a collection of luxury villas that seamlessly blend into the surrounding canopy, with only the vibrant blue of private plunge pools visible through the greenery.
The cuisine embodies a farm-to-table philosophy, showcasing seafood caught just hours before it’s served and organic produce freshly harvested from the island’s gardens and farms. You can enjoy dining in the privacy of your villa or opt for a more communal atmosphere at one of the hotel’s five restaurants and bars.
Kokomo Private Island
This island seamlessly blends unpretentious luxury with the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape, set within the embrace of the Great Astrolabe Reef. The reef serves as a gateway to an extraordinary underwater world, while the island itself offers a haven for adventure enthusiasts and a restorative retreat for families. Kokomo Private Island provides an unrivalled escape, a short hop on a private charter flight or helicopter from the main island of Vitu Levu.
The Beast
The Beast is an expedition yacht unlike any other. Bold, impressive, and capable of reaching destinations that most others cannot with exceptional stability. The boat boasts a 13-meter custom-built luxury sport fisher tender, an amphibious tender, full dive gear for up to 12 guests, and an extensive array of fishing equipment. The spacious and luxurious guest areas span 4,000 square feet, creating a lavish retreat complete with a dedicated Teppanyaki grill for unforgettable group dining experiences.
Discover Activities
Diving in Namena Marine Reserve
Namena Marine Reserve is home to some of Fiji’s best dive sites, the North, and South Save-A-Tack passages. Descend into sheer drop-offs teeming with marine life, including dogtooth tuna and grey reef sharks. The well-camouflaged seafloor hides large groupers lying in wait for prey while schools of trevally swim overhead. A vibrant haven for coral, this reserve showcases a stunning variety including gorgonian fans, black coral, soft coral, and an incredible array of reef fish.
Helicopter Rafting
Take on the challenging grade three rapids of Viti Levu’s idyllic Upper Navua River, home to one of the most unique river canyons on Earth inside the highlands of this remarkable island. To reach the river, 1953 will arrange a helicopter drop off and pick up on The Upper Navua River. Here is your hidden pathway to a pristine tropical wilderness, shrouded in lush rainforest, fed by countless waterfalls and protected by exhilarating rapids.
Kioa Cultural Village Visit
Kioa is a special village in Fiji because it is home to a sole community of Tuvaluans, originally from the island of Vaitupu. During your visit here, you will have the chance to see their long-preserved traditions first-hand with a traditional dance performance – typically different to Fijian dancing in its style. Kioa’s villages are also renowned for their legendary fishing abilities using their specially carved outrigger canoes.
