Tuvalu
Tuvalu is a very small and remote island nation in the Pacific Ocean, with a population of just 12 000.
It is one of the least visited countries globally, with around 2000 visitors annually.
There is only one international airport on the island and air travel is expensive. There are no direct
flights to Tuvalu so all tourists have to fly via Fiji. The flights from Fiji are only available every Tuesday
and Thursday.
The positive side to so few visitors is the beaches are free from crowds. Tuvalu has plenty of
sunshine, a conservation area, a friendly local culture and no crime.
Tourists can watch flying fish skim the water, relax in a hammock or snorkel along the coral reefs.
There are two hotels for tourists to choose from on the lovely island of Tuvalu.
Serenity Cruises
Enjoy the intimacy of our smaller and midsized ships. You will be able to relax in the comfortable
atmosphere which is enjoyed by elderly travellers.
There is a choice of cabins to suit your budget. Many of our cabins are wheelchair-friendly. Our
cruise ships can accommodate passengers with walking difficulties. All our ships have elevators,
accessible large bathrooms and easy to access pools and public spaces.
We offer many long duration cruises all lasting over 6 weeks. Many of these long duration cruises
sail during the off-peak season. Our itineraries include more time spent in ports than other cruises.
All of our programmes of entertainment are aimed at elderly passengers. There are lectures from
guest speakers and onboard language, cookery and art classes.
Smaller ships are able to sail directly into ports which allows passengers to go ashore more easily.
Agritourism
Agritourism is a type of tourism where tourists visit or stay at a farm or in an agricultural area.
Agritourism is steadily growing in popularity with food tourists and it is opening opportunities
for agricultural businesses to participate in tourism. Tourists can visit farms, stay in a traditional
farmhouse, become involved in farming activities, eat authentic food, wear traditional clothes and
enjoy folk song and dance.
Over 300 species of animals are living in habitats similar to those in the wild. There are elevated
platforms and underwater galleries so visitors can get a full range of experiences.
New to the reserve this year is the ‘Vacation in the Wild’. Tourists stay in an outdoor dome tent where
they can enjoy a fun-filled wildlife experience in the day and relax in a luxurious air-conditioned
dome tent under the stars.
Mandai Wildlife Reserve held a press conference to announce the opening of its new Vacation in
the Wild experience. The press conference was an opportunity for local journalists to ask questions
about the outdoor dome tent. Some of the journalists were offered free familiarisation trips to the
Vacation in the Wild in order to fully understand the experience and accurately report on it.
