Kiana is fully equipped
for both snorkelling and scuba diving so all you need to bring is a
smile. Kiana has an onboard high capacity dive compressor so your
diving will not be limited to the number of spare scuba tanks that
can be carried as is the case with most sail and dive vessels.
Kiana carries a
maximum of 14 passengers ensuring that our guests are never
crowded. Our crew consists of a qualified Skipper, Dive Instructor
and Cook/Deckhand. A crew of three ensures that Kiana's guests
never lack attention.
All meals are prepared on board Kiana from fresh ingredients. Our
unique "marine hangi" (pronounced hungy) will satisfy the gourmet
within you. The Hangi is a traditional New Zealand Maori method of
cooking in an earth oven. On Kiana we have adapted this concept
with our own marine version.
Being a deep draft
vessel Kiana is particularly roomy below decks. Air-conditioning
provides comfortable temperatures in the heat of the tropics. The
quality of Kiana's teak finish provides an ambience that cannot be
matched by the plastic alternatives.
Kiana has single and double accommodation in shared cabins. If you
require more privacy we have private twin cabins available for a
small extra charge.
Kiana has two large bathrooms with electric toilets and freshwater
showers. Our high capacity hot water system ensure that hot water
is always available.
Kiana has many extras that help to improve the quality of your
adventure. For example Kiana's galley is fully electric with a
dishwasher and microwave/convention oven. And we even have a
Clothes Dryer onboard for those days where you need a dry towel.
The tropical sun can
be very severe, particularly on those with fair skin from cooler
climates. Kiana provides the best of both worlds with ample deck
space for sun baking and a huge permanently shaded rear deck where
you can cool off. The rear deck also provides protection from the
elements on those rare occasions when there is a tropical rain
shower.
