How to Book
Individuals and groups can book a NAI’A charter directly with our office in Fiji. Alexx or Joeli will efficiently answer your questions and sort all your details.
Experienced dive travellers know of Fiji's remarkable coral reef combination of diversity, abundance, endemism and wild vivid color. These elements, along with the cultural charisma of Fijian people - especially our crew - place NAI'A’s Fiji consistently in the top ranks of the planet's diving destinations. Dive travellers also know that live-aboard diving vessels are the most efficient and comfortable way to achieve the vastly higher quality and quantity of diving that makes the effort and cost of air travel worthwhile. Always, but especially now, our bank balances shape our travel decisions. So, I'd like to prove to you that aboard NAI'A you can have your cake and eat it too - superb diving that is also among the most affordable!
Fiji is a ten-hour nonstop flight from LA and less from other Pacific gateways. We collect you from the airport or nearby hotels for the 30 minute transfer to the harbour so there is no requirement to lug your heavy dive gear aboard a small airplane for a flight to a remote airstrip somewhere – and there are no extra transfer costs. None of the other world-class Indo-Pacific destinations can be reached non-stop and none are cheap to fly to. Travel time to parts of Indonesia or Papua New Guinea, for instance, can be several days each way.
Because some operations collect tax, park fees, fuel surcharge, and other items aboard the ship, you need to be careful when comparing the listed price of a charter. NAI'A's listed price includes all transfers and government taxes and we pay the Marine Park fee for you. When we have to collect a fuel surcharge, you are encouraged to pay it with your final payment. Once aboard NAI'A you pay only for optional items such as Nitrox, alcohol (although we serve complimentary drinks with dinner) rental equipment and a crew tip if you choose.
On many boats a "seven-day" charter includes seven nights but only five full dive days plus one dive on the sixth day (and you are asked to go ashore for dinner on the final night). By contrast, a NAI’A seven-day charter has seven nights and six full dive days plus a dive on the first afternoon aboard. Our 10-day trips schedule nine dive days plus the first afternoon dive. A much more accurate assessment of the value of a trip is to consider the cost per dive day.
The point is: check carefully what must be paid for on-board and how many dive days a charter lasts. Compare apples with apples!

“NAI’A made a believer out of me! Fiji has been grossly underrated by both divers and scientists. Incredible fishes here and definitely worthy of protection.”
