Kangaroo Island, Australia | Vanuatu | New Zealand
Exploring the Cultural and Natural Wonders of the South Pacific.
Dear friends,
It gives me great pleasure to present our South Pacific Tour by Private Jet for October 2025. The 15-day journey for just 15 travelers includes a magnificent selection of destinations in the South Pacific, that is only possible via private jet.
Designed for those who have yet to travel extensively in the South Pacific, the itinerary begins in Fiji on the main island of Viti Levu where you discover Fijian life in an authentic village, while staying in an overwater bungalow. Continue to your next cultural experience in Papua New Guinea, where you will immerse yourself in Central Highlands traditions, lifestyles and tour the country’s capital in Port Moresby. Then the private jet takes you to Kangaroo Island off the south end of Australia, where you will be captivated by the wildlife, including kangaroos, koalas, and penguins. From there, travel across the sea to Vanuatu and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Chief Roi Mata’s Domain where encounters with villagers is sure to enchant and enlighten you. In Vanuatu we are participating in the “Pack for a Purpose” project and will donate school supplies to a local school. The journey comes to an end in one of the world’s most beautiful and adventurous cities – Queenstown! Here you have the unusual experience of a glacier helicopter landing. Enjoy fabulous accommodations throughout in some spacious and attractive suites with stunning views. Meals are always included, with the option to take advantage of Lakani’s signature Dine by Choice opportunities wherever possible. Sightseeing by deluxe vehicles with a window seat for all is a Lakani Jet standard feature. And to top it all off, you will be accompanied by an expert Lakani Tour Manager to take care of all the details along the way, leaving you to simply enjoy the journey.
We hope you consider joining us for this unforgettable experience. With only 15 seats available on this journey, don’t wait too long to book.
With best traveling wishes,
