Travel, thoughtfully yours.
A FEW ISLANDS.
A FULLER JOURNEY.
Choose the setting.
Find your pace.
The South Pacific brings together distinct islands, cultures, and ways to travel. Begin with what matters to you: lagoon days, time together, local discovery, or a sailing with room for a stay on land.
SIX PLACES TO BEGIN
Which islands
feel like you?
Choose one destination to explore in depth. Connecting different island nations is a separate flight and calendar decision.
Viti Levu · Mamanuca Islands · Yasawa Islands
Fiji
An island stay, with room to explore.
Choose Fiji for a beachside retreat, family time, or an island stay with a little more adventure. Viti Levu and the offshore island groups offer different settings, so the transfer is part of choosing the right base.
A suggested starting point: 7–10 nights
Explore Fiji ↗Tahiti · Moorea · Bora Bora · Huahine · Raiatea & Taha’a
The Islands of Tahiti
Lagoon days. Islands with their own stories.
French Polynesia is more than a single lagoon. Begin with Tahiti and choose a small number of islands that fit your interests. Moorea, Bora Bora, and the quieter Society Islands offer different ways to balance a memorable stay with local discovery.
A suggested starting point: 8–12 nights

Rarotonga · Aitutaki · Optional outer islands
The Cook Islands
A little discovery. A longer exhale.
Pair Rarotonga with Aitutaki, or settle into one island for a slower stay. Explore from a base on Rarotonga, then slow down with time on and beside Aitutaki’s lagoon.
A suggested starting point: 7–10 nights
Explore The Cook Islands ↗
Upolu · Apia · Savai’i
Samoa
Island landscapes. Living traditions.
Samoa rewards a journey that makes space for the places and people behind the scenery. Begin on Upolu, then consider Savai’i when your time supports another island chapter. Choose guiding and stays with local customs in mind.
A suggested starting point: 8–10 nights
Explore Samoa ↗
Tongatapu · Vava’u · Other islands by arrangement
Tonga
A considered route. Time beside the water.
Tonga suits travelers who enjoy shaping a trip around a few meaningful experiences. Combine time on Tongatapu with a longer Vava’u stay when the connections work, rather than adding distant island groups to a short visit.
A suggested starting point: 7–10 nights
Explore Tonga ↗
Efate · Espiritu Santo · Other islands after current checks
Vanuatu
Coastal stays. Discovery with local guidance.
Begin with a focused Efate or Espiritu Santo stay, or connect the two when transport and current conditions support it. Vanuatu calls for a plan built around the places, accommodation, and experiences actually available for your dates.
A suggested starting point: 7–10 nights
