Australia

Whether you are searching for mountains, desert, beach or forest, Australia is the land of plenty. Natural and man made attractions are found across this vast country, and no two experiences are the same. Hit the hot spots such as the Sydney Opera House, Blue Mountains, Bondi Beach, Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef, or the Great Ocean Road. But be sure to leave time to visit the arts and culture rich Melbourne, the wine region of the Yarra Valley, Kakadu National Park, one of the many white sandy beaches of the Whitsundays, or travel inland to the heart of Australia and its regional communities. No amount of time is ever enough to visit all Australia has to offer, but you can try!

Fiji

Fiji is an ocean lovers paradise with more picture perfect beaches than you explore in one visit. Kick back on island time and stay by the water’s edge, or dive into one of the coloured reefs and spot one of 1500 species of fish and marine life. Away from the beach there is plenty to see with jungle treks offering a chance to birdwatch on the Garden Island, Taveuni; or Kadavu, which boasts a paradise without roads and a return to the simple life. If it’s nightlife you are searching for, then look no further than Suva with its vibrant venues. Getting back to the beach, the ones that should be on everyone’s destination list can be found on the islands of Mamanucas and Yasawas.

Rarotonga (Cook Islands)

Rarotonga is one piece of perfection in a stunning necklace of islands in the Cook Islands of the South Pacific.

Samoa

This tiny nation is the big heart of Polynesia with its laid-back way of living. The landscape is stunning, the sea is pristine, and the natural beauty is the perfect destination for your next tropical vacation. Here life is simple with local markets, natural marvels and the Fa’a Samoa (the Samoan Way). Top of the list is the To Sua Ocean Trench which has to be seen to be believed. It is a 30-metre deep swimming hole formed by a cave-in of an ancient lava system that connects to the ocean. Really soak up the beach life by staying in a fale – a domed, thatched roof held up with wooden poles, and no permanent walls. These are popular accommodation options at Lalomanu Beach and Salamamu on Upolu.

Tahiti

Tahiti is the heart of Polynesia and the Pacific Ocean. It is here you will discover some of the most luxurious and romantic overwater bungalows, the bluest bungalows, and the friendliest welcome. Head to region Bora Bora with its postcard perfect beauty and huts over pristine, sheltered bungalows, or embark on some soft adventure with a 4WD tour across the island before dinner in the energetic capital of Pape’ete. Spend your days relaxing on beautiful black-sand beaches, or wander through the many archaeological sites, take a sunset cruise, or visit July to October for some of the most awe-inspiring whale watching in the world.

Vanuatu

Nature is truly wild, magical and beautiful in Vanuatu. Whether you stay in the resorts of capital Port Villa, or book a private villa, you will not be short of experiences to fill your time. Sail between the 80-plus island archipelago, and be sure to snorkel the crystal blue waters and dive through old shipwrecks which have been transformed into living reefs. Seek out deserted beaches, stand on the rim of an active volcano or go searching for something magical to remember for years to come. A must do for every visitor is kayaking to one of the many Blue Holes, circular freshwater pools formed underground by streams cutting through limestone in the rugged rainforest. Or swim in the shallow fizzy water of Champagne Beach – one of the world’s most famous beaches – with waters that bubble like French champagne. Finally, transport yourself to a hidden world at The Blue Cave; hidden within sea cliffs it is illuminated by a single shaft of light and can only be accessed via boat and an underwater swim through an underwater passage.
