The largest of the Earth’s oceans, the South Pacific contains over 20,000 islands and conjures up images of palm trees, blissful relaxation and warm water teeming with marine life.

The islands located south of the Tropic of Cancer are traditionally grouped into the divisions of Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia. The islands are either made up of volcanos with lush tropical forests and rolling valleys or reefs and sand atolls.

With plenty of water sports on offer including paddle boarding, jet skiing, kayaking, sailing and surfing, world-class diving and snorkeling, lush mountains and jungles to explore, volcanoes to climb, golf, yoga and plenty of day spas- on the Pacific Islands you can do as little or as much as you like.

WHY NOW? For Action-packed adventure or a relaxing, flop and drop holiday, the islands of the South Pacific are difficult to top for their accessibility, diversity and natural beauty.
