Meet the Crew

The “Unleashed Crew” is a team of experienced travellers from various backgrounds including, youth workers, teachers, university students and personal trainers. The “Crew” are all senior first aid certified and experienced in managing groups. The role of the “Unleashed Crew” is:

1. Meet all Unleashed guests as they arrive at their destination. For example: When you arrive in Nadi airport you will clear customs and collect your bag and as you depart the terminal you will be met by the Unleashed crew and escorted on to the coaches.
2. Escort all Unleashed guests through the transfer process. For example: After boarding the bus in Nadi the crew will go with the you to Denerau and then escort you to the boats and then on to the island. The “Crew” are always approachable with questions, issues or concerns. The same service is applied to the return trip.
3. Available 24 hours. The “Unleashed Crew” are equipped with local mobile phones. Hotel/resort reception can call the crew anytime on your behalf.
4. On hand in case of emergency. If there is a situation whereby an Unleashed guest must leave the resort or island and visit a doctor or hospital then they will be escorted by an Unleashed Crew member. All locations have emergency action plans in place.

Schoolies is …

a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend quality time and make lasting memories with your closest school friends on one of the amazing tropical islands unleashed have to offer.

My favourite Unleashed schoolies island…

is between both Mana Island and Plantation Island in Fiji. Both islands have great resorts and offer so many different activities that you and your friends can do during the day.

I’ll never forget the time…

that I first went to one of the best surfing locations on the planet ,Cloud break, and caught such clean, long waves that were practically perfect.
The best part of the job is the interaction with the schoolies, I am still able to make many new friends from a variety of different areas whilst being a crew member.

In my suitcase, you’ll find…

all of your general items, but I do tend to take a few vitamins to keep the health up when burning the candle at both ends.

To pass the flight time I…

listen to music, watch a movie or chat to all the excited schoolies.

During schoolies week, you’ll find me…

By the pool or beach during the day, then around the dance floor area at night. I constantly walk around the resort and hang out with groups of schoolies.

My number one travel tip…

make sure that you keep hydrated with plenty of clean bottled water and be prepared for the best week of your life!

Schoolies is…

a unique and unforgettable experience

My favourite Unleashed schoolies island…

this would have to be a tougher choice then choosing between Miranda Kerr and Jennifer Hawkins... that being said, I'd have to say Mana Island for its natural good looks which rival that of the aforementioned ladies..

I’ll never forget the time…

when each year, hundreds of kids come up to you and say "This has been the best week of my life"

The best part of the job…

meeting and working with so many wonderful yet different people

In my suitcase, you’ll find…

water-friendly clothing and fresh underwear

To pass the flight time I…

journey through the musical wonderland that is my iPod

During schoolies week, you’ll find me…

exploring the many lookouts and beaches around the different islands

Schoolies is…

The best party in the world!

My favourite Unleashed schoolies island…

Is Mana. Beautiful as it is luxurious I find Mana terrain unique, dense bushland cuts to open spaces, white sand and crystal clear water. I love the activities available awesome snorkelling and water sports, and at night the parties are unbelievable

I’ll never forget the time…

DJ Joshy Moore thought it was hilarious to sign me up for the pole dancing comp on my first year, unfortunately it seems this is now an annual tradition, i hate Josh Moore

The best part of the job…

Is ensuring all schoolies have the best time of their lives, its the best feeling seeing everyone off at the end and knowing it was a trip they will never forget

In my suitcase, you’ll find…

very minimal clothes, a dress just incase, and talcum powder... lots of talcum powder

To pass the flight time I…

watch comedies on my lappy and be that inappropriate loud laughing guy

During schoolies week, you’ll find me…

definitely carving on the df, this may or may not involve a short stint on the exotic dancing pole

My number one travel tip…

is to live in the now be spontaneous, try not to stick to a plan the best experiences are those that are unexpected.
