There are several kites shops that take tours of groups over to Fiji at Safari Lodge which is beautiful warm and sunny, clear water and clean wind, some awsome kiting can be done over there!

There is a kite tour group that head up to Cocos islands which is more on your side of the continent so would be cheaper to get to for you.
If your interested send me a message and ill send you their details (don't want to seem like im advertising them!)

I did one of there trips to Cocos last year and had an absolute ball. Great people involved and very well run.

I've just booked a trip up to FNQ in August specifically on my own. Then I can do whatever the hell I want!

PM me for details.

“It's a crazy time of year,” he said. “The big yam harvest will be coming in now. And women will be given permission by the paramount chief to capture men and have their way with them.”

“You mean, assault them?” I asked, disbelieving. “Sexually.”

“That's it,” said Nick. “They will rape them.” He pronounced it 'rep,' as in travelling salesman, and made it sound just as casual.

“The women lie in wait in the bushes,” he continued. “They jump out on a man when he goes to work in the gardens or even while he's just waiting to get a lift to town. It's always a man from another clan; women will never rape men from their own village. It's a kind of ritual humiliation. It's a very dangerous time for a man to be walking by himself. Men will be going round in twos and threes, just in case.”

wow, im a tad confused?

Hey Sonya

Go the Trobrian islands PNG tour...

Its an experience of a lifetime - flatwater lagoons, surf and wind.
Different 'Postcard' island scenery or sandbars in the middle of nowhere each day.

The Islander kids will hide behind you as for some its there first contact with someone with a different colour skin and there very shy - but with the biggest smiles youve ever seen... They live island life unaffected by modernization, money doesnt exist there,they grow and fish from around the island.

The hole village will line the shores as soon as the boat comes. Its very exciting to have a few hundred kids cheering and waving from the shoreline and every single one of them will want to help launch your kite too. When you show them a camera photo - they all squeal in delight, as theve never seen themselves - theres no modernisation remember except for you...

If you just wanna kite - any tour will do...

If you wanna kite and have an awesome experience that will last a Lifetime guaranteed... Then go the PNG trip.

Ps youll want to take a really good camera to capture this amazing stuff too, I wish i did!

Cheers Clay
