Private & Tailor-Made

Your own naturalist guide and boat, a flexible schedule, and an itinerary built around what you actually want to see — planned with you, not chosen from a fixed menu.

Why Go Private

Your Own Guide & Boat
No sharing a group’s schedule or pace — your naturalist guide and boat are dedicated to your party for the full trip.
Flexible Schedule
Start later, linger longer at a site that matters to you, or rearrange a day around weather — a fixed group itinerary can’t offer that flexibility.
 
More Time Where It Matters
Photographers waiting for the right light, families moving at a child’s pace, or anyone who simply wants longer at one site over rushing to the next.
 
Privacy for Special Occasions
Honeymoons, anniversaries, and small-group celebrations, without joining a shared day tour of strangers.
 

Who This Is For

Families & Multi-Gen Groups

Move at your own pace across ages and abilities.

Access Needs

Mobility or dietary needs a fixed itinerary can’t flex around.

Photographers

Flexible timing for light and a specific shot list.

Honeymoons & Anniversaries

A private, unhurried trip for two.

Small Groups

Friends or colleagues who’d rather not join a shared tour.

How a Tailor-Made Trip Works

Tell us what you want

Once confirmed, you travel with your own naturalist guide and boat for the full itinerary.

What You Can Customize

Islands & Sites
Choose which islands and specific sites to visit, and how much time to spend at each.
Day Length & Pacing
Full days, half days, or a mix — set a pace that fits your group rather than a standard tour schedule.
Activity Mix
Snorkeling, hiking, wildlife watching, and photography stops, weighted toward what your group cares about most.
Accommodation Style
Land-based stays, a private charter, or a mix — matched to your comfort and budget.
Group Size
From a couple to a full family or small-group charter — the itinerary and boat are scaled to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How is pricing determined for a private trip?

Every private itinerary is quoted individually based on islands visited, trip length, group size, and boat or accommodation style — there’s no fixed published rate.

 

Is a private trip much more expensive than a package or day tour?

It costs more than a shared day tour or package since you’re not sharing a guide or boat, but the difference varies a great deal by group size and itinerary — ask for a quote to compare against your other options.

 

Who guides private trips?

The same local naturalist guide team behind Nauti’s day tours and packages — not a third-party luxury broker.
