South Pacific Highlights

Idyllic Islands

The most notable feature of the South Pacific is that it has over 30,000 islands, and each is as beautiful as the next. 

Some of our all-time favorite holiday destinations include Fiji, Samoa, French Polynesia, Vanuatu, Samoa, Tonga, New Caledonia, and many more. 

Fascinating History 

With so many places within the region, there is an incredibly rich history of the place and people that you can discover. 

Each place has sights and landmarks to celebrate and remember its history, such as Wakaya Island in Fiji and the Maeva Maraes temples in French Polynesia. 

Water Activities 

Beneath the crystal blue waters in the region lies a whole world of plant and marine life, making it a diver’s heaven. 

You can enjoy water sports like diving and snorkeling to explore the hidden depths around the island. If you are looking to raise your adrenaline levels, we suggest jet-skiing, paragliding, and more. 

Amazing Wildlife 

With such a rich natural landscape in the South Pacific region, it is no surprise that there is diverse wildlife both in the sea and on land. 

You can spot sea urchins, starfish, elephant seals, killer whales, great white sharks, and more underwater. On land, you’ll find plenty of birds and reptile species as well as fruit bats, which are the only mammals native to the islands in the South Pacific.
