On the cruise you may see whales,sharks or turtles (seasonal).Looking for fun and adventure come with us on the 58ft yacht Southern Cross and we can take you sailing on the deep blue waters of this island paradise.We can cater for groups up to 25.

"Best place to be on a saturday. There are so many choices of island food YUMMY!!! the culture of the island people are shown there is so many different ways, like the dancing, singing, the tie dye pareu and clothes and the arts and craft of the island people. IT'S FANTASTIC!!! Love the Punanga Nui"
"Great produce for your stay if you are self-catering. Good food. The roti is great. My favourite is the poke (Banana, paw paw or mango depending on the season with arrowroot and coconut cream). Cheapish souvenirs if that's what you are after. Some 'interesting' sermons also."
"In the main centre, easy to get to by bus or private car/scooter. Great place to buy island crafts and gifts/souveniers but the highlight is the food! Don't have breakfast and go and indulge yourself! Fresh fruit smoothies, fresh fruit, hot meals (chop suei, steak sandwiches etc), local produce, dr..."inking coconuts, doughnuts, sweet treats! Friendly people, not pushy with sales and is great for a wonder around on Saturday morning :)
