Start your morning with a guided snorkel lesson off Kokomo’s West Beach. After meeting your guide at Baywatch, receive a short briefing on how to use your equipment safely. In water deep enough to stand, practice basic skills, before going on a brief snorkel. With some experience under your belt, venture out to the inner reef to discover why Fiji is known as “the soft coral capital of the world”. Departing on a glass bottom boat, you will have the opportunity to view marine life from above and below the water. Join the team on a guided snorkel, or continue to view the marine life from the comfort of the boat. Around midday, venture to one of Kokomo’s breathtaking islands for a private island picnic. Indulge in succulent fruits and tantalising pastries, paired with champagne and the finest wines from around the word. |
Make the most of your first Kokomo dive experience with a private dive instructor. Set your goal for your dive and allow the resort’s certified dive instructors to take you to the best dive site for you. Your instructor will tailor the dive to your experience level, ensuring that you are able to explore the underwater world at your own pace, free from distractions. Return to the surface in awe of the impressive barrier reef! In the afternoon, embark on a guided kayak tour. Enjoy the beautiful corals as you paddle above Kokomo’s house reef or circumnavigate the island on a 90-minute kayak adventure. Stand-up paddle boarding is also an option for those seeking a relaxing core workout. Alternatively, visit Baywatch, Kokomo’s activities bure on the West Beach for some first-class thrills. Choose from an array of inflatable towable rides and the instructors will help get you out on the water. West Beach is also a playground for waterskiing and wakeboarding enthusiasts. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a first timer, Kokomo has everything you need to enjoy a great session on the water. Don’t forget to try the ocean trampoline! In the evening, experience the underwater world in a different light. With the stars shining overhead, meet your dive instructor on West Beach for an introduction to night diving. Watch as the world comes to life under the glow of your dive torch. See nocturnal organisms emerge under the cover of darkness, keeping your eyes peeled for crustaceans, baby reef sharks and luminescent plankton. |
Start your day with another immersive tank dive. Your instructor will take you to a new and exciting location, with plenty of fascinating features to explore. One such option is the beautiful coral gardens – join a marine biologist for a hands-on experience to learn how Kokomo is helping to protect and preserve the reef. Learn about coral garden design, and assist with coral selection and transplantation. Enjoy an informative adventure whilst playing your part to assist with environmental sustainability. At 3:00pm, journey to the outer reef on a scheduled afternoon snorkel. Glide along the surface, marvelling at hard and soft corals, colourful parrotfish and elegant angelfish. Breathe in and dive deep, admiring the marine life up close, before returning again to the surface. Cap off a day of fun in the sun with a cruise through the tranquil waters surrounding Kokomo. As the sun begins to set, look to the horizon, savouring the changing colour palette, while sipping on Tattinger champagne. Return to Kokomo for dinner, having grazed on canapes. |
Your time at Kokomo culminates with morning yoga and fitness and one last gourmet breakfast. When you’re ready, say farewell to your hosts and journey back to Nadi via shared air transfer to commence your onward journey.

In the event that we are forced to change your arrangements, substitute arrangements of a similar standard will be provided.

Pre-Existing Medical Conditions and Age Limits
You need to advise Onlyluxe travel and the tour operator on any pre-existing medical condition, mobility impairment and/or disability that might reasonably be expected to increase the risk of your requiring medical attention, or that might affect the normal conduct of a trip and the enjoyment of other trip members. Onlyluxe Travel and the tour operator may require an assessment of your medical condition from a qualified medical practitioner.

Cancellation by The Tour Operator
The walks take place in very special wilderness settings. The tour operator is at the mercy of nature in all her beauty and all her fury. The tour operator will under no circumstance knowingly place at risk the health and well-being of our guests and guides. In the case of natural threats, acts of God and the like (e.g. bushfires, impassable snow, etc) the tour operator may need to cancel a walk with very little notice. In some cases, this can occur after the walk has commenced. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel any walk up to 60 days prior to departure if a minimum of 4 walkers are unable to meet for a tour. If the tour operator needs to cancel for any reason, the cost of the walk or any other costs associated with travel to the designated pick up point, overnight accommodation, meals, etc will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore we strongly recommend travel insurance be taken out prior to travel.
Force Majeure
'Force Majeure' means (without restriction) any event which Onlyluxe Travel or its third party providers could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. Force Majeure covers events such as, but not limited to, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events beyond our control. In the case of Force Majeure Onlyluxe Travel will not accept liability, and reserves the right to change and cancel trips.
Evacuations
In rare circumstances, due to injury or unforeseen illness, the tour operator may need to evacuate you from a remote part of the walk. Helicopter evacuations are expensive and in most cases will be at a cost to the customer.
For Australian residents, under the Australian Government Medicare Act, it is prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to ambulance or air ambulance services. We therefore strongly advise our customers to take specific ambulance cover through their health insurance provider. Evacuation cost will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore it is also strongly recommended that our customers take out travel insurance to cover (amongst other things) the costs associated with evacuation.
Travel Insurance
In view of the heavy cancellation penalties applied to cancelled reservations in certain circumstances, we strongly recommends suitable travel insurance be purchased at the time the holding deposit is paid. We recommend insurance cover that covers any loss which may be suffered due to cancellation. We also strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance against loss of baggage and medical expenses.
