French Polynesia holidays

White, pink and black beaches, glittering reefs, emerald forests and sapphire lagoons - French Polynesia fulfils every island idyll you can imagine. Pick wild passion fruit in Tahiti, experience the boundless luxury of Bora Bora, snorkel with sharks in the Tuamotus Islands or retreat to the remote Marquesas archipelago. French Polynesia is the perfect place for island hopping - we recommend visiting at least three islands on your trip, allowing you to experience a range of culture and landscape. Whether you stay in tiny, local guesthouses or a luxury over-water bungalow, these islands are sure to blow you away.

Fiji holidays

Hundreds of volcanic islands, glittering atolls and uninhabited islets pepper the South Pacific, creating an island nation that promises tropical escapism and sheer seclusion. While the main island of Viti Levu gives an essential introduction to daily Fijian life, the swaying palms, kaleidoscope corals and emerald peaks of the of the Mamanuca and Yasawa islands are what real Fijian dreams are made of. Fiji is perfect to combine with Australia and New Zealand, as well as connecting to Los Angeles for an American road trip.

Cook Islands holidays

Scattered across the South Pacific, the Cook Islands consist of fifteen patches of paradise. Each island is fringed by coral and lapped by jade-green waters. Ancient traditions and diverse interiors give each island unique appeal, from the mountains of Rarotonga to the caves of Atiu, and from the lagoon at Aitutaki to the southern outpost of Mangaia. Rarotonga is easily connected to both New Zealand and the USA, making it the perfect stopover as you cross the Pacific.

Local living in the Pacific

The islands of the South Pacific are full of life, with communities that will welcome you to their beautiful shores with open arms and broad smiles. Stay in tiny guesthouses in Tikehau and Fakarava, eat fresh seafood with host families in the Cook Islands and drive across the main island of New Caledonia, meeting friendly locals as you go. In French Polynesia, why not hop aboard the Aranui cargo cruise to the Marquesas Islands, a lifeline of supplies and communication to this remote archipelago. People are the heart and soul of the Pacific, so let us help you get out there and meet them. 


Round the world holidays including the South Pacific

Crossing the Pacific Ocean is an essential part of any round the world holiday. This enormous stretch of water takes over 12 hours to fly over, so why not take a break or two on your way? Indulge in luxury under Bora Bora's peaks, island-hop through the Yasawas in Fiji or get lost in the pine forests of New Caledonia. If you're looking to connect Australia and New Zealand with South America, then French Polynesia and Easter Island should be high on your list. If you're heading to the USA from down under, then Fiji and the Cook Islands fit the bill. Whichever you end up visiting, a trip to one of the South Pacific islands will introduce you to a magical world of music, beaches and island culture.
