Fly-fishing in Style in Tahiti
Fly-fishing holidays no longer have to be endurance tests on cold and remote rivers now that Tahitian cruise operator, Haumana Cruises, is offering luxury fly-fishing cruises in tropical Tahiti.
Enthusiasts can mix lazy days fly-fishing in the crystal clear lagoons of the famous Tuamotu Archipelago with nights enjoying fine dining and spacious cabins aboard the luxury catamaran, Haumana.
Less than one hour’s flying time from the main island of Tahiti, the Tuamotu atolls of Rangiroa and Tikehau offer exceptional fishing for the likes of bonefish, bluefin trevally and cuberra snapper.
But swapping waders and insect lotion for sunscreen and shorts won’t mean tamer stories for those at home – Tahitian bonefish are renowned for their size and fighting ability.
Three, four and seven-day cruises are available, with experienced local and international fishing guides on hand to
conduct day or night forays onto the crystal clear reefs and lagoons of the archipelago. A selection of rods, reels, flies and lines mean passengers can learn from scratch.
Carrying up to 36 passengers in 17 cabins, the 36-metre, Australian-built Haumana can reach favourite fishing spots quickly and comfortably. Cabins are fitted with home comforts like DVD players and large windows to enjoy spectacular lagoon views.
Elegant five-star dining with a Tahitian twist is served in the panoramic restaurant on the main terrace, and each night guest can enjoy the setting sun with cocktails and ukulele playing musicians. An outdoor Jacuzzi offers 360-degree views and under-the-stars spa sessions.
As a special holiday season offer, Haumana Cruises is offering a seven-day fly-fishing package for $4675pp ($5790 single). Available until March 31 2006, the package includes airfares, transfers, hotel accommodation and an all-inclusive four day cruise from Rangiroa. Call (02) 8270 4850 or email [email protected] for full details and to book.
