AUSTRALIA AMAZING LANDSCAPES, ANCIENT CULTURES, LIVELY CITIES, STUNNING BEACHES – ALL IN ONE AWESOME CONTINENT

Know Your Destination

The Regions

Australia caters to all travel styles, from jet-setting sophisticates, to honeymooning newlyweds, to families on fun-filled vacations, to friends on adrenaline-jazzed outdoor adventures. Its most iconic attractions range from the instantly recognizable Sydney Opera House – the height of urban sophistication – to the sacred Uluru, mighty symbol of the Outback.

Visit New South Wales for its pristine beaches, breathtaking natural treasures, and one of the world’s most famous and vibrant cities. Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and take the ferry past the Opera House to Manly. Join a day tour of Hunter Valley vineyards.

Down Under Up Top The rugged Red Centre landscape. Thousands of miles of beaches. The stupendous Great Barrier Reef. Kangaroos and koala bears. Magnificent wine regions. Subtropical rainforests. Sprawling deserts…

That’s a ton of attractions, but still only a fraction of what makes Australia one of the world’s most desirable vacation destinations.

Discover why residents and visitors alike consistently rate Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth among the best, most livable cities on the globe.

Gregarious, open, and informal, with a refreshing lack of pretension, Australians welcome the opportunity to share with visitors the country’s abundant and wildly diverse range of attractions and pursuits. Oh, and you should expect to be called “mate” a lot…

Get In & Get Going Visiting Australia is easy: English is spoken, and the current prevailing dollar exchange rate is similar to Canada. Visitors must have a valid US passport and a visa to enter Australia; passports must have at least 6 months left before expiration when applying for a visa.

Take advantage of your Travel Consultant’s expertise and let them help you plan an amazing trip.

In Queensland, sun yourself on the golden sands of Surfers Paradise, and snorkel amid the technicolor treasures of the Great Barrier Reef. Explore the Daintree Rainforest with an Aboriginal guide, and board a catamaran to the unspoiled Whitsunday Islands.

Drive Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, hop onto Melbourne’s Colonial Tramcar Restaurant for a rolling 5-course dinner, and catch exciting Australian Rules Football action at Etihad Stadium. Stroll Hobart’s cobblestone waterfront in Tasmania, and hike the spectacular Maria Island Walk.

Fly to the Northern Territory and catch the eye-popping sunset colors blanketing Uluru. Hike the rim of wondrous Kings Canyon. Savor exotic flavors at Darwin’s Mindil Beach Sunset Market.

In South Australia, sip your way through the many Barossa Valley wineries outside Adelaide, and immerse yourself in the Old World vibe of Hahndorf, Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement.

Train Convenient, affordable, and scenic long-distance rail service exists mainly to link regional townships with state capitals, although cross-country lines run from SydneyPerth as well as Darwin-Adelaide. (note: Tasmania has no passenger rail service.)

Bus Bus travel – the most popular way to get around Australia – is cheap and convenient, although the distances involved can be daunting. Coaches go virtually everywhere, and many coach tickets allow you to hop on and off en route to your destination.

Car A rental car is an excellent way to travel, as Australia has a generally well-maintained system of roads and highways. (note: Australians drive on the left-hand side of the road.)

In-Town Transit All of Australia’s capital cities are served by a variety of public transit, including trains, buses, ferries, monorail, light rail, and trams.

Dip your toes into the white-sand beaches of Perth, capital of Western Australia, and tee off on the world’s longest golf course – 850-mile-long Nullarbor Links.

Getting Around City-to-City Air Australia is a continent, and a big one, making air travel perhaps the most efficient way of getting around. There are four domestic carriers operating jet service that links capital cities and major destinations, plus several regional airlines.

Road in the desert

Circular Quay and Opera House, Sydney

Dine Your Way Across Australia In the big cities and off the beaten path, you owe it to yourself to indulge in Australia’s tastiest cuisines and foodie experiences.

• Don’t forget to sample Aussie meat pies, “bush tucker,” potato cakes, a BBQ by the river, cheeses from King Island Dairy.

• Australian equation: Sponge cake + chocolate + coconut = Lamingtons, the dessert of choice for millions of Aussies.

•

Chomp into a sandwich of toasted bread lathered with Vegemite, a savory spread and, without doubt, the most famous authentic Australian food product. Sit down for some low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat, fresh off the barbecue grill.

Take in the panoramic view from atop Story Bridge, explore the Southbank Parklands, and walk the Heritage Trail.

Cairns / Port Douglas Most area visits begin in Cairns, a thriving seaport and magnet for travelers that’s just a stone’s throw from the Great Barrier Reef.

A lively city with a village feel, Port Douglas is the ideal starting point for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef or Daintree Rainforest.

Gold Coast & Whitsundays With its sweeping beaches, the Gold Coast is Australia’s great playground. Excitement runs 24/7 at Surfers Paradise, where days on the beach give way to nights spent in the bars and clubs. Lying between the Queensland coast and the Great Barrier Reef,

the Whitsundays are made up of 74 islands, heavy on stunning natural landscapes and dotted with secluded beaches and friendly towns.

Top Experiences Kuddly Koalas Snuggle with one of nature’s cutest creatures at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in suburban Brisbane, the world’s first and largest reserve dedicated to Australian wildlife.

I Can See Four Mile Stroll just a few minutes from Port Douglas center city, and you’re at Four Mile Beach, which stretches along the Coral Sea in a gentle curve of soft sands and swaying palms.

A Month of Whitsundays If Whitehaven Beach looks familiar, that’s probably because it’s the most-photographed beach in Australia, a stunning swirl of white silica sand and turquoise waters on Whitsunday Island.

Surfin’ Safari At gorgeous, iconic Surfers Paradise, you can chill out, watch the action on the waves, or learn the sport at one of its numerous surfing schools.

Great Big Bigger than several European countries combined, the Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system, and a must-visit location for divers.

NORTHERN TERRITORY ABORIGINAL HISTORY, A SWIRL OF CULTURES AND CUISINES, AND A NATION’S ICONIC MONUMENT Uluru

The Regions Uluru / Ayers Rock Known as Uluru and considered sacred by the Aboriginal tribes who have lived here for more than 20,000 years, this massive sandstone formation is the Outback’s answer to the Grand Canyon. Climbing the rock is a sacrilege to indigenous Australians, so sign up for a base tour or trek to get a close-up look at the natural springs, caves, and ancient rock paintings.

Alice Springs “Capital of the Outback” and the vibrant hub of central Australia, Alice Springs – with a population of 25,000 and stylish shopping and dining facilities – provides a perfect base to access the Outback’s natural wonders, including Uluru, the sand dunes of the Simpson Desert, and the hiking trails and ghost towns of the MacDonnell Ranges.

Darwin Darwin, smallest of the capital cities, is one of the most diverse, shared by over 50 different cultures. The arts thrive here, with music, open-air cinemas, and Aboriginal art galleries topping the bill. For a taste of nature, head to

nearby Litchfield National Park or Kakadu National Park, a World Heritage Site and Australia’s largest national park.

Top Experiences Sounds Advice Dine under the canopy of the desert night while listening to a “star talker” decode the southern night sky at Ayers Rock Resort’s Sounds of Silence experience.

Hog Heaven Climb on the back of a Harley and groove to the views while a professional motorcycle pilot wheels you around Uluru at sunrise, daytime, or sunset.

Magical Market Put together “shopping” with “hangin’ on the beach,” and you’ve got the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, a weekly evening of exotic food, and live entertainment, just a short stroll from downtown Darwin.

What a Croc!

Just an hour from Darwin is Crocodile Central, and on a boat cruise along the Adelaide River you can watch saltwater crocs as they propel themselves high out of the water to snatch their prey.

Spring Ahead Dip into the ultimate soothing experience in Elsey National Park, where both Mataranka Hot Springs and Bitter Springs Thermal Pools flow at a constant 90º F and are still very much in their natural state.

Dry Humor Catch one of the Outback’s oddest traditions, the Henleyon-Todd Regatta – a day of fun centering on mock “boat races” held on a dry riverbed!

Look Closely Watch as Uluru appears to change color – various hues of red, purple, orange, gray, and yellow – depending on weather conditions, time of day, and your distance from it.

Back to the Garden Beneath the towering walls of Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park, you’ll find the Garden of Eden, full of palm trees, lush vegetation, and tropical pools you can swim in.

Park Place Dip into a cool waterfall rock pool in Litchfield National Park, and take a bushwalk through the rainforest and savannah of Kakadu National Park, a World Heritage Site.

One Cool School Before there were online universities, there was radio’s School of the Air, an educational service based in Alice Springs that serves the far-flung children of the vast Outback.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA WINE COUNTRY, WIDE-OPEN SPACES & WORLD-FAMOUS HOSPITALITY Barossa Valley

The Regions Adelaide Adelaide, South Australia’s capital, caters to cultured travelers with colonial architecture, art exhibits, and pedestrian-friendly streets. Sample gourmet fare at the Central Market, peruse Aboriginal art at the South Australian Museum, and wander the surrounding parks.

On nearby Kangaroo Island, stroll amid majestic scenery and commune with native wildlife like sea lions, koalas, wallabies, penguins, and, of course, kangaroos. On nearby Fleurieu Peninsula – all sandy beaches, undulating landscapes, and Mediterranean ambiance – the McLaren Vale region boasts around 65 wineries and numerous farmers markets bearing the fruits of lush regional produce.

Regional South – Barossa Valley From historic buildings to pristine islands, South Australia delivers a rich heritage and spectacular natural attractions. Bordering Adelaide to the north, east, and south, you’ll find rolling hills, verdant plains, and vineyards aplenty. And in the Barossa Valley, you’ll discover some of the best wines in the world – and more than half of all the wineries in Australia – plus traditional German-heritage food reflecting the Valley’s original settlers.

Regional South – Coober Pedy

Living Color

Hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement, Coober Pedy is self-described as the “opal capital of the world,” and the opals are the only reason why there is a town. The harsh summer temperatures and the dominant industry mean that most residents actually live underground, i.e., in caves bored into the rock of the hills around the town. Indeed, if you travel there, you can stay in an underground hotel!

Spend a day at the Flinders Ranges and watch as the mountains and cliffsides change colors, from the bluegray tones of dawn to the deep reds of dusk, as the sun bakes the land.

Top Experiences Sehr gut! (Very good!)

A little slice of Germany in Australia, Hahndorf is the continent’s oldest surviving German settlement. Soak up the scene in its museums, galleries, and Bavarian-style chalet restaurants.

In the Mood for Food Follow the lead of top local chefs and scour the Adelaide Central Market for oysters, olive oils, cheeses, coffees, baked goods, seafood, and other delicacies.

Corking Good!

Head out beyond the Adelaide burbs to verdant McLaren Vale, home to wineries producing superb reds and whites, from Cabernet Sauvignon to Chardonnay.

Going Underground An isolated Outback burg, Coober Pedy is the world’s opal capital, and you can legally “fossick” (search) for opals amid waste rock and even stay overnight in a former opal mine!

Wine, All Wine Drive the food and wine trails of the Barossa Valley, home to some 150 wineries, source of seasonal produce and artisan food, and full of Old World charm.

‘Roo Zoo See numerous species of native wildlife in their natural habitat in the ecological haven of Kangaroo Island, including kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, penguins, and bird life.

Watch This Drive…

It’s 18 holes. It’s a par-72 course. And it’s 850 miles long… Tee off on the world’s most unusual golf course, Nullarbar Links, stretching along the Eyre Highway and traversing two states!

NEW ZEALAND SMALL COUNTRY, BIG ATTRACTIONS – FROM ITS BREATHTAKING SCENERY TO ITS SOPHISTICATED CULTURE

Know Your Destination Australia’s smaller neighbor Down Under, New Zealand is big on natural beauty, recreation, and culture. The last significant landmass discovered by humans, it is also one of travel’s best-kept secrets – although the hit The Lord of the Rings movies from the past decade have given impetus to more and more travelers to make their own discovery.

North & South The two islands, North and South, have surprisingly different characters. The North Island has dramatic volcanic landscapes, beautiful beaches and excellent sailing, ancient indigenous forests, and a strong Maori cultural influence. The South Island has a slower pace of life dominated by the snow-covered Southern Alps and the spectacular scenery of the fjordlands, with its glaciers, deep lakes, and verdant forests.

Nonstop Action New Zealand offers a huge variety of action-packed and laid-back activities like bungee jumping, skiing, swimming with dolphins, and scenic boat cruises, as well as walking trails with unrivaled scenery. Alternatively, visitors can immerse themselves in the sophisticated culture of Auckland and the capital Wellington in the North, and Christchurch in the South.

Beyond the mountains, lakes, glaciers, volcanoes, geysers, beaches, cities… The islands of New Zealand are sparsely populated, but easily accessible. Facilities for visitors are modern, and transport networks are reasonably developed.

you have permission to enter, and sufficient money to support yourself during your stay. Visas are not required for stays shorter than 3 months.

Getting Around

Your travel consultant offers end-to-end travel planning for every kind of trip, no matter where you’re going or what you’re doing.

Air

The Regions Home to three-quarters of the population, the North Island has dramatic volcanic landscapes and highly active thermal springs and natural spas, long stretches of beautiful beaches, ancient indigenous forests, and a collection of easily reached smaller islands.

Wilderness treks, tours of Hobbiton, Maori encounters, sailing, the best rugby matches on the globe, and adventure sports like caving and bungee jumping are among the top draws here.

Its bustling modern cities include Wellington (the capital) and Auckland, the largest and most populous urban area in Polynesia. Vibrant Wellington, a harbor city that’s also the gateway to the South Island, teems with government and cultural activities. Auckland, at once sprawling and skyscraper-tall, captivates with its nightlife as well as proximity to vineyards, beaches, and island retreats.

There’s a slower pace of life on the South Island, which is dominated by a magnificent spine of mountains, the snow-covered Southern Alps, and the spectacular scenery of the southern waterways of the fjordlands, with glaciers, deep lakes, and verdant forests.

Get In & Get Going

The landscapes here are more isolated and the cities smaller. In Christchurch, soaring cathedrals, arts centers and galleries, and beautiful parks and gardens abound.

Visiting New Zealand is easy: English is spoken, and the country boasts a temperate climate. Every visitor must have a passport that is valid for 3 months beyond the date of departure, an onward/return ticket to a country

The South Island was made for active pursuits like cycling between vineyards, whale-watching on the east coast, close encounters with penguins and seals down south, jet-boating and glacier-trekking on the west coast.

City-to-City Domestic flights within New Zealand are often cheaper than car or train, especially crossing between the North and South Islands. Service is provided by JetStar and Air New Zealand.

Bus Buses are a relatively inexpensive way to get around, with daily service throughout the country. InterCity Coachlines connects over 600 destinations.

Rail There are three scenic passenger railways in New Zealand: The Northern Explorer from AucklandWellington; the Coastal Pacific on the South Island from Christchurch-Picton, and the famous TranzAlpine between Christchurch-Greymouth.

Boat Car ferries operate between the North and South Islands across Cook Strait.

Car You can drive to all of New Zealand’s top attractions, however, weather extremes, the terrain, and narrow secondary roads require drivers to be very vigilant. (note: traffic drives on the left side of the road.)

In-Town Transit There are a variety of ways to get around Auckland and Wellington, including bus, commuter train, taxi, and ferry.

FRENCH POLYNESIA / TAHITI LUSH, UNAPOLOGETIC BEAUTY AND HYPNOTIC VIEWS TO THE BLUE HORIZON…

Know Your Destination Exotic French Polynesia’s dramatic mountain ridges, European flair, and luxurious over-water bungalows lure visitors eager to experience serenity and sophistication in equal measure. Discover romance in five-star resorts that open directly onto gleaming beaches and clear blue waters. And keep a sharp eye peeled for international celebs.

Paradise Found It’s easier and more affordable than ever to tuck a tiare (fragrant white flower) behind your ear, pack your pareu (sarong) and swimsuit, and head off to find your own idyllic piece of Polynesian paradise. Each of the many islands is a tiny jewel, often appearing as though it is barely floating above the breaking waves…

Blessed with a balmy tropical climate, the Tahitian islands are also drenched in French culture, including the language (although English is widely spoken, especially among hotel staff).

Get In & Get Going

Moorea

Every visitor to French Polynesia must have a valid passport; a return airline ticket to their resident country or to at least two more continuing destinations; and sufficient funds to cover their planned stay.

Just a few miles from Tahiti, Moorea epitomizes the fabled South Seas paradise, its landscape a broad brushstroke of mountains, waterfalls, lagoons, beaches, meadows, and simple villages. Grab your snorkeling gear and head for the channel between Fareone and Tiahura motus, or rest your towel on a perfect patch of sand on romantic Temae Plage Publique.

The Regions Tahiti Get ready to be dazzled with crystalline waters, perfect sandy beaches, a friendly local vibe, and what may be the world’s most concentrated collection of elite resorts.

The largest of the 118 islands and atolls that comprise French Polynesia, Tahiti is one of the most beautiful in all the South Pacific.

Bora Bora Surrounded by a lagoon and barrier reef, Bora Bora is one of the natural world’s unique creations, dominated by the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu. It is the undisputed heavyweight champion of over-water bungalows, which were invented in the French Polynesian islands.

Other Islands Divers head to Rangiroa, the world’s second largest atoll, for unparalleled underwater exploration. Taha’a is the place to find perfect black pearls from one of the familyowned farms. Pedal a bike around Huahine and be put under the spell of its fragrant vanilla plantations.

Best Beaches for....

Swimming • Plunge into Tahiti’s Le Plage de Maui, Bora Bora’s Matira Beach, and Maupiti’s Plage Tereia.

Adventure • Top pros surf the challenging waves of Tahiti’s Teuhupo’o (7 surf breaks).

• Dive into Tapu’s (Bora Bora) underwater sanctuary.

Romance • Rest your towel on a perfect patch of sand on Moorea’s Temae Plage Publique.

• Remember how it all began on Bora Bora’s secluded talcum-soft beaches Note: It is acceptable and quite common to go topless on beaches in Tahiti, though nudity is not as common.

FIJI ENDLESS VISTAS, SPARKLING BEACHES, CLOUDLESS SKIES, WARM WELCOMES… IT’S THE VERY DEFINITION OF EXOTIC!

Know Your Destination

The Regions

A stunning archipelago with over 300 islands, all surrounded by dreamy beaches, vibrant coral reefs, shimmering sapphire waters, and views to an infinite horizon, Fiji is, hands down, simply one of the most exotic places in the world, a sensory journey where coconutscented trails lead you to the gentle lapping of the waves and awaken you to otherworldly sights and sounds. It’s a life-defining vacation destination.

Viti Levu

Expect to be entranced by some of the world’s best accommodations, from five-star resorts, to eco-resorts, to hidden finds, all accentuated by authentic smiles, plus a provocative landscape that lures both adventureseekers and those looking for the utmost quietude.

Get In & Get Going All visitors to Fiji must have a passport valid for 6 months beyond their visit, plus an onward or return airline ticket; visitor permits, good for stays of up to 4 months, are issued upon arrival.

You’ll find it easy to get around, shop, and enjoy cultural experiences. English is spoken, and public transportation is easy to navigate in Viti Levu, with air-conditioned buses, taxi service, and rental car availability.

Viti Levu is Fiji’s largest island, home of Suva, the capital city, and Nadi, Fiji’s main international gateway and transit point for other Fiji destinations. Denarau, a private upscale island, is lined with luxury resorts and is the jumping-off point for the Mamanucas, Yasawas, and other outlying island chains. The south coast of the island is known as the Coral Coast, nexus of resorts, adventure sports, and cultural arts.

Mamanuca Islands A volcanic archipelago of 20 different islands, the Mamanucas (just off the coast of Denarau) are all about beautiful beaches, lagoons, and crystal-clear waters, untouched natural wilderness, and unbeatable diving and water sports action, from Vomo to Malolo.

Yasawa Islands One of Fiji’s most stunning regions, this chain of 20 ancient volcanic islands northwest of Viti Levu presents white-sand beaches and dramatic monoliths surrounded by picture-postcard lagoons straight out of your most blissful dreams. Go hiking in gorgeous mountain terrain, hit the surf for kayaking and snorkeling, and stroll the warm sands on the beaches at the edge of the world…

Vanua Levu Whether touring the Snake Temple near Labasa, diving to see the soft corals, or just exploring along the Hibiscus Highway, Vanua Levu has lots to offer. Fiji’s second largest island, it’s less tourist-oriented than Viti Levu, but there’s still lots to see and do for the more adventurous traveler.

Best Beaches for....

Swimming • Rediscover yourself on Yasawa Island, lined with swimmable white-sand beaches including Yawini Beach and Paradise Beach.

• Take a dip into Coral Coast’s pristine Natadola Beach.

Adventure • Snorkel through rainbow-hued coral gardens on secluded Sovi Bay on Viti Levu’s famous Coral Coast.

• Dive deep into the waters of the Pacific Harbour and explore the different species of sharks and their way of life.

Romance • Take a barefoot stroll hand-in-hand on tiny Malolo Lai Lai in the Mamanuca Islands off Viti Levu, with hypnotic sunset views as your backdrop.

• Recline on a hammock at any resort and meditate to the inspiring view of the Pacific horizon.

Note: Nude sunbathing (and topless sunbathing for women) is illegal in Fiji.

Top Experiences Cave to Your Desires

Finding Nemo’s Twin

Live to Dive

The Naihehe Cave seems even eerier when you realize that it’s a fortress of one of Fiji’s last cannibal tribes, and contains a ritual platform and cannibal “oven.”

Meet the superstar known as Nemo – or at least one of the anemone fish or “clownfish” on which he’s based – when you snorkel in the florid reefs off Taveuni.

Kava Jive

Hit the Surf

There’s too many great dive spots to list, so flip a coin or just explore… Rakiraki, on the north coast of Viti Luvu, where you’ll find chromatic pristine reefs and an abundance of fish.

Explore the beautiful Mamanuca Islands aboard the classic schooner Seaspray, including a traditional kava ceremony at the Fijian island village on Yanuya.

Catch a wave off the southernmost Mamanucas around Tavarua and Namotu, as well as off the Coral Coast near Pacific Harbour.

Wet Set

The Only Way to Fly

Parasailing, Jet-Skiing, game fishing, surfing, diving, swimming, water-skiing, kayaking, sailing… There’s no end to the water sports fun you can enjoy in Fiji!

Maximize your “island time” by arriving at your resort via seaplane or helicopter transfer, available from multiple operators.

PACIFIC ISLANDS Cook Islands / Samoa / Vanuatu

ULTIMATE SERENITY, UNOBSTRUCTED VISTAS & UNSPOILED SEASCAPES AT THE SOUTH PACIFIC’S BEST-KEPT SECRET

Know Your Destination The South Pacific is a smattering of islands that, while small in size, are big on enjoyment. Samoa, Cook Islands, New Caledonia, Tonga, Vanuatu, and Niue add up to a hearty serving of flawless beaches, secluded island hideaways, and adrenaline-fueled action against dramatic natural backdrops.

While the official languages of countries such as New Caledonia (French), Samoa (Samoan), and the Cook Islands (Maori) are “foreign,” English is widely understood and spoken in all of these islands, especially by people in the tourism industry.

Get In & Get Going It’s a snap to visit all of the South Pacific islands, as the entry requirements for these destinations are generally the same: visitors need passports that are valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay, plus onward/return tickets. In all cases, visas are not required for stays up to 30 days.

The Regions Cook Islands Settle beneath the shade of a palm tree and let the sand sift through your fingers – the Cook Islands are the ultimate island escape. Unhurried and uncrowded, this spray of tiny Pacific islands lures visitors with wide, secluded beaches, endless shimmering seascapes, and the promise of total relaxation. Striking Rarotonga serves as the gateway to the rest of the islands.

Vanuatu Idyllic beaches, balmy breezes, spectacular reefs, and friendly locals make Vanuatu “the happiest place on earth”. Find peace and adventure in equal measures in this chain of 83 islands in the southwest Pacific, famous for the world’s most accessible active volcano, located on

126

Tanna Island, and for its picturesque scenery and perfect diving conditions in calm, crystal-clear waters.

Best Beaches for....

New Caledonia

• Swim in the celestial waters of one of Atiu Islands’ untouched beaches, tucked in a secluded corner of paradise. (Cook Islands)

Sun, sand, sea, and exquisite cuisine together create the ultimate island vacation in New Caledonia, renowned for its fusion of French and Melanesian cultures that co-exist in serene tropical surroundings that seem almost too good to be true. Dine on food and wine that would be at home in the finer precincts of Paris!

Samoa Fall in love with one of the smallest countries on the planet…Samoa. Rainforests, waterfalls, caves, blowholes, lava fields, and stunning beaches are your playgrounds. Join in a kava ceremony, get an authentic Samoan tattoo, go scuba diving, catch a game of “kilikiti” (similar to cricket), and unwind on beaches that face endless horizons.

Tonga Very little has changed since Captain Cook “discovered” Tonga over 200 years ago – and that’s a good thing!

Recognized as a prime destination for whale-watching, Tonga’s tiny island also impresses with shipwreck dive sites, ethereal lagoons, and stunning coral reefs. Visit charming fishing villages with traditional customs, and revel in all sorts of water sports, like kayaking, and surfing.

Swimming

• Become one with nature on Champagne Beach, on Vanuatu’s Espiritu Santo Island.

Adventure • Snorkel and get up-close with humpback whales in Tongan waters.

• Paddle out at Aganoa Beach (Savaii, Samoa), and challenge the waves just 50-100 yards from shore!

Romance • Whisper sweet-nothings on Hufangalupe Beach, a stretch of white sands and stunning turquoise waters and one of Tongatapu Island’s (Tonga) most dreamily scenic areas.

• Rediscover your love as you take a stroll on the powdery sands of Vanuatu’s Tamanu Beach.

Note: Nude bathing is not permitted in Samoa, Tonga, and Vanuatu. Topless sunbathing is permitted on the beach at Noumea in New Caledonia. There are no nude or topless beaches in the Cook Islands.

Niue No traffic lights, no crowds, no lines… Niue is one of the smallest countries on the planet, and has one of the highest standards of living per capita of the Pacific Islands. All you need to bring is an adventurous attitude – it’s a must in Niue to get the most out of your time here. Gear up for world-class diving, fishing, caving, and swimming with whales and dolphins.

Umu for 2

Walk the Walk

Surfin’ Samoa

The variety of walks in Niue will leave you breathless. From virgin rainforest, to dramatic caves, to rugged coastlines, you’ll stumble onto spectacular views, hidden swimming coves, and surprises around every corner.

For prime surfing thrills, head to Upolu’s southern shores at A’ufaga Village, or put your skills to the test at the famed Plum Pudding Rock, Solosolo.

Local Flavor

In Tonga, sit down for succulent local fresh vegetables, cooked in earth ovens called umus, and served with, of course, kava, a calming drink made from the roots of the kava plant.

Rise early and visit the Maketi Fou on Fugalei Street in Apia, Samoa, to sample local flavors and enjoy a refreshing tropical juice.
